SIAP. Did a forum search and couldn't find this. I am looking at getting another offset smoker. I looked at these a few months ago and they looked pretty decent. Anyone them out?

I have no experience with the Buccee's brand but I am on my second one of these, in 54 yrs, and the first one I had was 10yrs old when I bought it used. Its basic but gets the job done as much as a $5K smoker!

A 1\4" ga steel smoker, if manufactured correctly, is going to last forever and get'er done.

I made this one out of a piece of 5/16's pipe I picked up a Ashley Salvage in south SA 25 years ago , Works great and will never wear out...

let me build you a custom smoker... check out my Facebook @profabtx

I "rehomed" a friends old offset. It was a gift to his father in 1972 from his employer. He's moving, knows I have a soft spot for old smokers/grills.

It's on the side of the house and it's worked well on "easier" smokes of ribs and pork shoulders. Leaks like a Russian reactor. I've plugged most of the holes, but there are still a few that I need to address. Final product still turns out great.

It's still just time and temperature. G-pops used a cinder block square with a sheet metal cover - like what guys use to smoke whole hogs - only smaller.
