I have always wanted to get an offset smoker just because the offset firebox would also allow me to BBQ without smoke at a good constant temp without the need to add fuel every so often. I generally do beef and poultry when I BBQ, especially brisket.

Yeah if you want to BBQ without smoke (note: I consider this blasphemy. ) all you'd need to do is burn lump charcoal instead of wood.

As for meat, for me there's pork and there's everything else.
