I thought I wanted convenience. What I got was constant troubleshooting, ruined smokes because of grill failure, and not getting the flavor I want. I ended up finding the same model I’ve done dozens of briskets on previously.

Nothing beats an offset stick burner.
Do a hot burn to season it first, with a light oil coating. Easy to YouTube this.
I just told someone else the same thing about pellet smokers, they all break.
Welcome back to the best smoked food you have tasted in 10 years.
Welcome back
You make it sound like you can only have one at a time instead of one of each….
Reject modernity, embrace tradition
A stick burner is great.I love my Old County Brazos, but I find it a little too small. Can only do 3 or 4 racks of ribs at a time, due to the hot spot.I’d like a bigger smoker.
That is all I use…
Offsets are the best!!
Welcome back home
Ideally, you want a WSM for butts, roasts, and whole chickens and an offset for ribs and brisket.
If there is a dark side of smoking, it’s not offsets. It’s the gadgets with the apps and wifi. Light a fire and cook some meat
Barbacoa goes dummy hard
I’ve tried to tell coworkers pellet smokers aren’t for making BBQ, they’re for making smoked food.
Welcome back!
But you know you can have more than one? Even I have a gas grill for the lolz
