I need some advice.
We recently moved and I parted with my COS. The plan was to replace it with a quality smoker once we got settled and as luck would have it I quickly found a Lang 36 and 48 for sale in my area. While I was about to pull the trigger on the 48 two things happened -- I remembered that I now live near the beach, where I swear even a plastic bottle seems to rust, and I read more about the KBQ. The price of the 48 (used) and the KBQ are the same so I'm back and forth on which way to go.
The KBQ is stainless: less likely to rust and based on my previous inquiries in here it puts out a flavor similar to an offset.
The Lang 48: it is what is is and would be welcomed at my house any day but I'm concerned how it will hold up.
So my question is -- which way would YOU go? Is there another option that I'm overlooking?
*** for the Shirley fans -- it was my first choice but a 23 month wait or the near $1000 shipping cost from St Louis changed things.
