You might like to brew...
If it was me - between the two I would get the folding front shelf
Tell me more about this Spike brewing system - for brewing beer?
Hello, yes...brewing beer. It's a BIAB system (Brew In A Basket)...used to be brew in a bag...but rather than having to have multiple tanks, you just have one and it makes brewing and clean up SO much easier.
Take a look at this YouTube video...this is a 20 gal system, I got the 15 gallon system:

I figure BBQ and Beer go together....not so much one seasonal at all, then again, I live in a warm climate....
I got the Solo 10gal system:

And the 10 gallon conical fermenter:

I would have to say, if you enjoy a good beer, and if smoking is your hobby and passion, you would likely be a home brew fan. Nothing like having a cold keg or bottle of GOOD beer while you're tending the fire, eh?
AND....if interested in home brewing...you do NOT have to spend a ton of money on it, you can do it very economically. Start with brewing extract kits....I'm into doing to all-grain, but I didn't start there.
A really popular All-Grain economical BIAB system is from Clawhammer:

Anyway...if you're interested, I'd be happy to help with info I have...although I am FAR from an expert.
But hey, think of it this way...on days the weather is too bad out to fire up the smoker....you could brew indoors that say.
