MemberGot rid of the matchlight.
I found a used New Braunfels Smoker (I believe it's the Longhorn Deluxe series 20"x40") for $450 (asking.) Owner indicated that it was about 10 years old.
Does that seem reasonable?
I have an Oklahoma Joes 16" D x 30" offset at the moment, I'm fairly confident that it was a pre-charbroil build. I bought it used and like how the flavor (and getting to play with fire) compares to my WSM 18.5", but I feel like the available food space is less due to keeping a water pan near the firebox and lowering the exhaust down towards the grate and the flavor is not as consistent as the WSM (I get an ashy flavor more frequently.) I would like something bigger for more cooking space and also I have heard that larger ones tend to be easier to manage temps on. Is this one enough larger that it would make much difference?
Or, is there something else that I should be looking for?
Thank you.
