I have been up in the air for a while now about a few things and have done a ton of research on a few different reverse flow smokers...here's my situation. I have been wanting another stick burner and the wife has given me the ok to get one but I've been trying to make up my mind. I want a trailer smoker so I can easily take it with us when we are camping or cooking out at friends on weekends. I have heavily researched Lang smokers which I am looking at heavily the 36 stretch or the 60 model and they only have about a 3 week lead time right now. I have also looked at Shirley 24x60 model which looks to be very high quality from the pics I have seen and I think is very reasonably priced...but has a Jan 2018 approx delivery..not to impressive. My third option is to build myself...the only downfall to which is working two jobs and doing some work out of shop at house on the side leaves me no spare time as is. What little time I do have I try to spend with the family and would also lead to probably a Jan 2018 completion time lol. What would you guys recommend in this situation lol. I would love to build it no doubt!! But as long as it would take me and for the very reasonable price and quality of the Shirley smoker, I would almost have as much in material as it would cost to buy it and let them do the work...plus it does help support a business as well.
