They are asking $1350, But I'm a pretty good haggler. Apparently it has new tires too. I've only seen the pics and haven't looked at it yet. Any advice? should I go for it?
Yep, exactly.These double smoke stack designs are new to me, The whole principal behind an offset smoker is to draw the smoke and heat across the grill surface.
These look as though the heat would escape to fast or just sit there and just act as a charcoal grill.
Not sure...my 2 cents..........
Exactly. some of the quick cooks (sausage, wings) will be cooked on site, but this smoker is mostly for show. Although I hope to need the extra cooking capacity, between my char-griller and BGES, I can cook quite a bit of food at home, and save a lot of fuel that way. The best BBQ truck guy in town is retiring, and I hope to fill that space. That's how he does it as well, he's been very helpful, the dude was a schoolteacher before going pro BBQ, and he can't help himself from giving a free lesson with every sammitch! I feel confident about the food, and the business plan, But these big smokers, I have 0 experience with them. The guy I mentioned won't sell his, can't say I blame him It's pretty sweet.Yes that appears to be a not very good location for a firebox. Zero to none of boy big catering/vending types around here cook on site. They bring it with em. Ok to set up a good smellng pit to lead em to believe it was cooked on site maybe. Use the pit to heat it back up. That should work.
I don't thinks so. I assume if it was it would be mentioned in the ad. That would explain the near-side chimney though.
