This one may be a long set of questions but I need to get it straight in my mind before I place an order..
so I made up my mind on the 48 Assasin Grill but I do have some questions for those that either own one or are in the know... also some advise about some of the customizations I'm thinking about..
1. I currently use a 18" wsm and really enjoy the Q that it produces.. but tired of the limited space for ribs and having to remove the upper grate to access the lower one.. would the assassin produce also the same level of smokiness as the wsm?
2. I use a Bbq Guru, is the assassin grill also good for 225 degree range or just hot and fast?
3. Since I like using the water pan I'm thinking about having 2 doors on each side made with only the daisy wheel on the left side. This is to have the water pan only split in half and can remove them from each side. Also an added convenience of accessing the charcoal grate and v pan from either side.
3. Additionally from requesting the regular vpan, thinking about requesting a vpan without the vents, so it will be a solid vpan for smoking.
4. With the waterpan on there how does the smoke travel from the coal pan to top? Is it from the edges? Sides only or all 4 sides? How big are the openings?
5. Initially After commenting with bbqfreak on YouTube, he mentioned that he would of added a second smokestack at the end to make it work like an offset. I was thinking about adding the second stack at the left hand side so when using the vpan I close the middle one and open the first one to make it a reverse flow style but if there are openings for heat and smoke to rise all around the grill then this is not possible making sense for using it offset style.
Sorry for the long questions, I just want to make sure of my purchase as apart from the cost of grill, shipping is going to be like $550 for shipping.. for a nice total penny. I want to avoid a " I should have gone with this or that"...
Thank you and God bless!!!
