Hello, I want to ask you guys one thing:

Which of this two smokers would you recommend.

The prices in Spain are:

Chargriller+smoker   199,95 + 86.95: 289.95€

Weber cooker  499€

Taxes included

I know that both are different smokers. But the price difference is big.

Which one would you buy? and why?

Well, thank you all four your help.(and please excuse my english)
 
WSM and the Char Griller isn't even a close 2nd.    Char Griller is a COS, and i recommend staying away from those, you'll put more into mods than it's worth.  Efficiency and ease of use the WSM is the way to go. 
 
I would certainly go for the WSM. If you can afford both then that is great but the WSM would be my choice`.

I agree. I love my WSM
 
I would agree with the WSM but it really depends on your style of cooking

the offset requires you to be tending a fire, which a lot of people (including me) like to do

the WSM is a more set and forget low maintenence type of cooker and much easier to use

you really cannot compare those 2 cookers as they are completey different

What does "COS" mean? I couldn't find it in the acronym list.
 
Put it to you this way..... I started with a Charg-Griller, and after mods I had spent $250 on it. I used it for 8 months, got tired of always having to mess with it in order to maintain temps. I then sold it for $80 on craigslist, and bought a 22.5" WSM. It was the best move I could have made - the WSM is far superior, it works straight out of the box without any mods, and is near set-it-and-forget-it as you can get with a charcoal smoker.

Get the WSM - it's worth every penny, and you won't regret it.
 
Well. I've just ordered the money transfer to get the WSM.

I appreciate all your comments, coming from people who know what are they talking about.

Thanks a lot.
 
What's the difference between the two I have a char-broil cheapy tht I got brand new from a house cleaning I did brand new in box with side smoker it's a pai in the butt to keep a steady temp! N not only tht the lid is offset by at least an inch inwards so what is the WSM mean n how much do they run in the us??
 
Thanks now is tht a wood smoker like the char broil cuz personally I like the wood smokers compared to gas or pellet smokers...my father in law has a pellet smoker n it's just a pain the butt n cnt cook rite he always over does his food with it or under cooks it
 
It's a charcoal smoker that you use wood chunks with it to provide the smoke.
