Get both. Kamado first.
That's what I'm trying to get my wife talked into.

Iceturkes Have tried cooking a turkey on your acorn? I want to cook ribs, butts, meatloafs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, brisket, steaks, burgers, ah heck anything that I can get my hands on. I think I would use the acorn more. But when it comes time to cook a lot I will want the size of the offset.
Hello everyone I'm new here & just started learning how to smoking meats & bbq. I have a Kingsford kettle & a mastercraft 7in1 smoker. The other day I found out how BAD of a smoker the mastercraft is. It took almost 6hrs to do a whole fryer chicken! I had problems the whole time trying to keep the temp between 275-300 and I had to keep feeding the fire. I was using Lump charcoal and it burnt about 8-9lbs in that time. I've been looking around and I like the Char-griller Acorn Kamado. My local walmart has them for $288 & I'm really thinking about getting one but last night I found a offset smoker that I've been looking for its a New Braunfels Longhorn Deluxe for $350 used. So if anyone has these can you tell me the Pros & Cons of them.
Get an 18" WSM, they're around $250 and the best backyard smoker you can buy (IMHO). I can get it to park at 250 for 7-8 hours. I cooked my first contest with one also...
Wait a second, the $350 NB offset, now at $300, you were talking about cost $900 new? Doesn't sound like a cheap one, how thick is the steel? I'm going to google around a bit and search some threads here.
