Looking to buy a smoker
First off, I've never smoked before but it's something I've always wanted to do. I live in ND and don't really know many people that do smoke up here. I'm just looking for something to start out with. Any suggestions?

If you're doing a 'full wood' smoke where you're not just using charcoal for the heat and wood for the flavor, I think an offset is definitely the way to go. As for which one - in the end, you get what you pay for with these guys. There's just no way to make them good and make them cheap. Thermal mass is what it is - to make a good one takes thick metal which costs a lot to procure and work with. If you're spending less than $800 on one, you're not getting one that's worth the headache, IMO and you should just stick with the WSM.

Any way I can talk you into getting a plasma torch, learning to weld and then building one of these sumbitches and telling me how it goes?

I'm doing this someday. Oh yes, I will be doing this someday.
If you have a plasma cutter that big cool. But if you're buying one, don't. One big enough to do that will be in the ballpark of a billion dollars. Use acetylene and a Grinder to clean it up.

I would almost certainly set myself, my home and quite possibly my entire subdivision on fire if I ever messed with a plasma cutter.

My patience is somewhere along the order of "hits my tablesaw with a mallet" and "once threw a printer out of a 5th story window". Only once have I shown a modicum of restraint and it was when I was messing with the suspension on the '67. A spring tensioner came loose and shot the ****ing spring into my hand as I was trying to load it back into the cup on the lower control arm. As I cocked the hammer back to strike a 50 yr old muscle car, I realized I might have a problem. I caught myself and needless to say, I was done working on the car that day.

A man's gotta know his limitations.

LOL

Acetylene is what will burn shit down. Plasma cutters operate pretty cool. They're way better but to get one with enough power to cut thick metals you're going to mortgage a child.

What did you end up with, a cheater or a full wood burning smoker?

Brinkman vs. Weber is an easy decision. Brinkman offsets are ****ing junk made out of thin steel and they can't hold temperature at all. If you buy a quality offset smoker, for example I own an offset smoker from Yoder Smokers, the choice is much more difficult.

Louisiana Grill was OK, but our Traeger is reerun-proof. Never have to worry about fires or the temp running up to 700+ like the Louisiana.

The old OK Joe Highland seems to have decided it wanted a new home and wandered off in the middle of the night.

Time for a new smoker. I probably will go for another stick burner.

I got a Masterbuilt 40" last year. its electric and pretty easy to use. I have no complaints with it. It seals up well and the temp holds pretty true. For me, being simple and consistent are what I wanted, and that's what it is.

I've owned both a Bradley and Masterbuilt. The masterbuilt requires more attention to change chips, the bradley uss pucks and you basically load it up and forget it. They also make cabinet pellet smokers but I'm not familiar with brands on those.
