    CC, I've been wanting a smoker for a while, and rather than having a redneck make me one that mounts on a trailer, I just want something small and convenient for the backyard. Any recommendations or are they all pretty much the same? Other than price, I don't see much of a difference between most of them.

    Anyone?
    For the price of a cheap offset smoker, you're better off getting a Weber Smokey Mountain instead tbh. Unless its high quality and expensive as , offset smokers are a pain in the ass. Weber Smokey Mountains are way easier and will cook just as well as an offset smoker thats the same price. Not to mention they're alot lighter and more portable.

    If you have the time and means to take a cheap offset smoker and modify it, then do that. or if you're willing to s out for a quality offset smoker tho, then thats definitely the way to go too.

    yea johnsmith, if you're going to be wasting money on briskets from HEB, just get a cheap smoker. no point in spending high dollar on equipment to cook some cheap meat.

    the only problem with those is that with the water pan and no vent up top, you're basically steaming. My friend John Lewis, who started Franklin with Aaron and is now pitmaster at LA BBQ, had one of those before he started competing and ended up drilling a hole up top to seal with a wine cork. He started building/welding his own stuff with used propane tanks after that. Since the steam was vented he was able to get a decent bark.
    What is John and Aaron's friendship like now? I'm kinda curious about how Franklin/Lewis/John Mueller all view each other considering they all have worked together at various points and now are all each other's top compe ion in Austin. Aaron Franklin gives off the awshucks nice guy vibe but seems like he's more cutthroat than he looks behind the scenes. I thought it was interesting that Lewis basically called him out in that TM interview, saying he never seasoned a brisket with only s&p while working at Franklin's joint, which goes against basically any interview Franklin ever gave about what he seasons his briskets with.

    no point on spending $ on any equipment if you're buying brisket. Just microwave the out of it and drench it your favorite barbeque sauce.

    I cooked for years on a couple of cheap Brinkmann water smokers. BBQ was just as good, just had to screw with it more to hold the temperature right.

    Just saying it doesn't make sense to pay for a expensive smoker unless youu compete on the bbq circuit and if that's the case, you wouldn't be using meats from heb.

    I think they are still friends, but I couldn't say for sure. From what I know most of the Muellers are a bit off, so who knows what is going on with them (John and sister) besides the fact they hate each other, and she is John Lewis' boss now. I have known John for about 10 years, and he is as nice a person as I have ever met - his sister is my ex-wife I may go by his place here in a bit actually since I have to run an errand downtown.

    Nope. Your stupid is showing again. Good thing for you they had affirmative action or you'd still be struggling to get out of the third grade.
