I don't have one, shipping is way too insane these days. I was just putting in a plug for their great pits. I'd think shipping will be pushing at least $2k CAD on a pit from one of the US builders, possibly more expense depending on requirement for a broker and so on.
There are more local options around, in my experience most builders, even with a set design, will usually custom build whatever you want. That said I completely understand the magnetism of wanting the real (branded) deal, so-to-speak.
Have you looked at Capo Cooktops in your hood? That's a great price on a great looking smoker almost next door to you, in CAD, although his website may not be updated to reflect current crazy steel pricing. From the looks of their Insta, he builds 'em all though, customize them as you please!

Good luck whatever you decide!
I highly recommend a Shirley or LSG. My only experience with Horizon was terrible. They had units in the BPS and they looked like a child welded them together. Booger welds.
Our Shirley's have been outstanding in every way. The Lang 60 was a decent cooker but it doesn't draft or have forward thinking upgrades (cabinet doors, large warmer, etx...) like the Shirley's. Friend has an LSG and another has an Outlaw. All quality rigs.
So many great builders now.

I went to the bank today and opened up my US acct, im about at 99% on the shirley. My wife even said she is up for a road trip to go grab it. Not that it will save much but might be fun. Ill let you all know once its done thanks for the reply's it has been immensely helpful even just re-enforcing the choice for me
What’s the current lead time on getting a Shirley these days? I know they were moving into a new shop, and that disrupted some things a little.
Congrats on the Pit Hugot! Shipping is a painful part of this for sure, but You will have it all your life so buy once cry once!Back in august i did some researchs on a good free flow offset. I was debating between Mill scale, Fat stack and workhorse pit.
I live In Quebec Canada so like you shipping is a factor. I ended up ordering a workhorse pit. To notch product but also incredible customers service so far. I will get mine next april.
Why workhorse ? the quality of the product, the price, etc. also With mill scale i was looking @ nearly 10k investment for the smoker and the shipping / borders. Fat stack dont ship to canada.
Back then i ddint hear about Smoke North. But honestly they build QUALITY smokers. The Huron looks like a damn good unit, stable, big surface. I would go with them if i was you.
