I recently had a similar dilemma. I decided right off I wanted a direct flow. So my two finalists were the new Moberg Backyard and the 1975t. I just decided on the 1975t because like you, that rustic look is enticing.

I’ve looked at the workhouse several times and almost pressed the buy now button twice, and I never realized it didn’t thane a shelf until now!?!? Seems odd there is no option to add on??
I’d like to be able to direct grill on a pit especially doing reverse sears etc and wonder why more shirleys don’t offer that? I guess you have to get the warmer above the firebox and then a baffle that’s opens??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Thanks for the great feedback guys, much appreciated. I think it may come down to cowboy grill option and ease of mobility for me. The concrete pad I cook on is behind my garage, I have a roll up garage door there that I can open to wheel the cooker in and out. I don't mind the hassle because it will be kept garaged when not in use which I think will help longevity quite a bit. It doesn't have to roll far, just displace by its own footprint - littlerally from one side of the garage door to the other but with a small concrete lip. The cowboy grill option is big because of how popular steaks are at my house, I don't need a restaurant technical sear but I like to finish them over direct heat. Good point about keeping a small Weber for that but wouldn't it be nice if I didn't have to? So cowboy grill advantage Workhorse, mobility advantage Shirley... lol.

You can place a cheap grate over the shirley fire basket. [emoji1787]
But I get it. Mine rolls out the garage door just like yours. Get what YOU want! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I ordered my Shirley early this month but it a 1975 showed up in its place I wouldn’t be upset at all. Can’t go wrong between the two as far as I can tell.
Enjoy and post pics when it gets here! |

Man, I really like the workhorse pit. It reminds me of the Franklin pit.
