I have been considering an offset smoker... Something that I can use real wood in. Not being a financially well endowed person, I have ruled out spending $500-$600 for a brinkmann offset.
All that being said I came across these Char-Griller setups at Lowes.com and it got me kind of interested.

It looked to me like I could get set up for a little less than $200. That's more realistic for me since I really can't sell the wife on the idea that I need another smoker when she already knows full and well what I have....Does/has anybody used or owned one of these? What did you think of it?
I saw some online reviews and they were decent, but then again any schmo can write a review at some of these sites whereas here at SMF I know that people will stand behind what they say because they have a reputation to think about....
Please help me out fellow SMFers... Are they Junk? Are they a good value? Are they a good starter that will last me for the next 5 years?
Thanks in advance!!
