The only way I would is if someone convinces me that its an awesome deal. I have enough cookers at this point that I only look for those "can't pass up" deals.

Not an awesome deal, just the wide open bottom will need some work, unless you want a vertical gas smoker

I just looked at it closer, and it kinda looks like Brinkmann just took a cooking chamber from one of their offsets, turned it upright, cut the bottom out and put some legs on it.

Well it is made by Brinkmann.

They are older and have fairly thick steel. A little work on the bottom area and they would be a solid unit. Think UDS. Seal the bottom, make a UDS style fire basket, add intake(s) and you should have a solid performer.

I had one in the garage the other day in excellent condition I gave away......I have too many grills and smokers and had to make room for another one.

Definitely not an awesome deal.

The meat racks look like they need to be replaced

These are a little older with the charcoal pan in the bottom.

They do not have a good seal and leak a lot, however they have more consistent heat than the horizontal models.

I own one and it is a POS. I am waiting til I build my next drum to steal the handles and other parts off it and then I am throwing it away.

ECB gourmet is a POS in it's stock form too. But a few easy mods and it works just as good as a WSM.

If you need it be a good if you just want it not a good deal , but overall not a bad looking smoker
