MemberGot rid of the matchlight.
I'm ready to put some money down on a new offset but don't have anybody to help me decide (wife just rolled here eyes, lol) so thought I would jump in here to see what you guys think. I've got my eye on the popular Shirley 24x36 and the new Workhorse Pits 1969. Here are some pro's and cons of each that caught my eye and that have been on my mind... Please chime in and let me know which cooker you would choose and why. Thanks!
Workhorse 1969
- cowboy grill option!
- longer (42") but narrower (20") cooking chamber
- direct flow with baffle (no tuning plates)
- issue with no fire basket or fire grate?
- 3/8" throughout
- cool factor with natural finish
Shirley 24x36
- less expensive by 300-400
- shorter footprint
- reverse flow
- fire basket
- protective top plate in firebox
- combination 3/8" and 1/4"
Not sure if I'm missing anything else important but I've got analysis paralysis since these are both great cookers!
