Well guys I've been running around the 'net like a chicken with my head cut off lately. I am looking to upgrade my smoker for backyard and KCBS competion use. I also look to be doing small catering jobs, 100 people and less. I've been looking at a couple of options. Something to note is my team member has a WSM and we will be using it along with whatever I pick to replace my cheap offset
1. 24x48 backyard offset from Peoria Custom smokers. A little out of my budget but an awesome cooker.
2. A combo of buying a Ok Joe's Longhorn and either two WSMs or a large BDS smoker.
3. And this is the one I know the least about. A Stumps SW223.
The capacity on the stumps is huge, but i'm concerned about how often I'll be refueling. The biggest concern is how much of a temp difference I will be seeing from the bottom shelf to the top. Does anyone here know what the thickness of the steel walls is?
As always I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on these.
Thanks.
