I would say save a little dough and go with Landmann GOSM Big Block. I have one and love it. With a needle valve added you can keep temps form 120-400 with ease. Good Luck with whatever smoker you go with.

Here are some pictures I just took for you, We use the threaded ends to spins some handles he made on the pole to move the hog to a cutting table after it is done.
He added the idler to prevent the chain from jumping. . I will get motor specks if you want
Good Luck on your build...
Welcome from Northern California. I also own a landman smoker, they are great units. If you would like finer control over your burner try adding a brass needle valve. PM if you would like mote details on adding the needle valve.

Welcome from a fellow Northern Californian,
Just up the 80 east of you in Sacramento area. You found a great place with great people. Make sure and post up pictures of your first smoke. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask any questions.
