Hey All,
Sorry for the lengthy first post. First, i've been doing a lot of reading on the forum, you all are awesome. I'm glad to be part of the community.
Second, I love to cook and want a new challenge - so I'm going to buy a smoker.
Originally, I was convinced that I wanted an offset stickburner, but talked myself out of it because I have two kids under the age of 3 and i'm 99% sure that my wife won't let me camp by the smoker for a day to get a cook done right. So i've turned my attention to GF or IVC. Something that I can use charcoal AND sticks on. (Wish there was something in between where I could cook using just sticks but didn't have to babysit every 30-45 min, but rather 3-4 hours. I could commit to that kind of babysitting for sure).
It's super intimidating and feels like a really big decision. I don't wanna end up in a situation where I buy smoker A and wish I had gone with smoker B.
So.....HELP!!!
IVC or GF? Deep South. Shirley. Humphrey. Assassin. Myron Mixon. Custom fabrication? Holy hell....HELP!!!
If there's a good fabrication shop in the Maryland Area, should I go custom? I don't wanna sink the whole budget on shipping.
Thanks in advance.

P.s. If BadWolf (or anyone else) wants to pay a fabrication shop to build me a smoker, i'm happy to be the guinea pig....just saying.
