With inflation and supply chain problems, things have probably changed significantly since the last time I looked. And, today I realize a smaller offset smoker is probably a much better choice than what I have historically looked at. I have two really nice really heavy large smokers that I could put on a trailer easily enough but, they are overkill for most of my needs these days.
Plus, I want something I can pull with a small car so, a heavy trailer pit isn't going to be an option. I can always put my other smokers on my utility trailer if I want to drag them around with my fuel hog pickup!
Is the Workhorse 1975T a good option? What is a similar size and similar price? I basically want it long enough to be a good direct flow option and wide enough to do a piglet or turkey and similar things so, 24" or a bit wider in the cooking chamber. I do have a preference for 3/8ths steel for heat retention in windy or cooler weather and want a firebox without a lip to make clean-out easier!
So,
or something else?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
TIA,
Sid
p.s. My Evie Mae and Shirley are reverse flow so, I'm thinking direct flow this time for a heat "gradient" for different cooking needs in one chamber.
