I used to smoke a ton, mostly for our restaurant, and miss it. We still have a dedicated cold smoker for salmon, etc., but I would like to look either at a large, substantial grill - been coming on 20 years, but Texax BBQ? 1/2BBL, smokestack at left of lid, with a small offset box at right? Heavy, wide grates?
So a good grill large enough to do indirect heating/smoking and still have enough room for a small gathering of friends. That, or a true offset smoker. Not wanting pellet, electric or propane vertical. Also not wanting $1K - on up, like the Lang or Jambo. Doesn't need to last 20 years, just perform well while it lasts. I know I might be looking at terrible sealing, thin gauge and heat loss, I guess. Just hoping for a kind of miracle find.
Nexgrill at $139, HD. Total crap?
