Hello everyone.
I'm new to this forum, but I've been a long time lurker. I want to quickly thank everyone who's contributed your knowledge here which, in turn, contributed to my better tasting Q.
So here's the deal. I've been recently looking to upgrade my cheap big box smoker to a decent offset smoker such as the Old Country Pecos or Wrangler.. But recently, I've come across the Old Country Cantina XXL grill (link here), which is an extra large charcoal grill that would have more than enough room to for the fire to burn on one side without giving off too much radiant heat to the meat. On the Cantina, there is a door hatch on the far right side, so loading/reloading wood would also be a breeze. Then this got me wondering if it would be just as capable as an offset smoker. Would I be able to make killer brisket with this as opposed to using an offset smoker? What are the cons that I can't think of?
The questions are endless! At this point, I would really appreciate if the pros here have any thoughts/input/exp on this. Thank you!
