The site isn't affiliated with Walmart and they say not to mention it because the stores don't have anything to do with brickseek. Brickseek is just an inventory checker. Sometimes their site will show something in stock at the store, but it's already been sold out. Even though it's not 100%...
I have gotten many good deals on cookers/accessories using brickseek. I check it for the MB 560 regularly, but it hasn't dropped below $447 here. Link is below.

I bought the kit that Weber makes a few weeks back and I like it. I also bought a basket to go with it. I like to spatchcock a bird and stuff it in the basket instead of the normal way you would roti a chicken. Get some nice crispy skin this way. I need to use it for things besides chicken, but...
I like to throw boneless thighs in a bag with Mojo Crillo marinade for a few hours. Then I put some fajita seasoning on them and grill them directly over coals until they are cooked through and have some burnt crispy parts. Cut them up and you have some good taco meat.
You guys have far more patience than I. If I am doing an overnight cook I put it on around 10 or 11 at 265. I will wrap when I wake up and it is ready for lunch. Sunday I put one on at 10am and the temp was around 300 degrees. Wrapped at 3pm, off the cooker at 5pm, and dinner was served at...
Never been a fan of the vertical warmers or chambers so I would just stick with the regular offset. If I had money to burn it would either be the LSG 20x42 or the Shirley Patio.
Sounds like a heckuva time and a stubborn butt. I put a 9lb butt on at 10am. Cooked at 275 and wrapped after five hours. That rascal should be done after 7 hours.
I've always wanted to build a cinderblock pit in my yard. I thought I might give it a shot during these difficult times, but I haven't gotten around to it.
What are you planning on cooking? If you smoke chicken then you could make or buy some Alabama white sauce for it. If you are doing pulled pork there are plenty of finishing sauces that aren't tomato based.
Here is a simple yogurt sauce that goes well with Shawarma. I would post the link, but I'm not sure if that is allowed. The shawarma recipe that goes with this sauce is awesome too.
1 cup greek yogurt
1 garlic clove
1 tsp cumin
Squeeze of lemon just
salt and pepper to taste
Personally I found that charcoal provides flavor that a gas grill cannot. Many people seem to like using gas because they feel it is more convenient. I can understand that reasoning, but dumping some coals in a chimney and waiting 15-20 minutes is worth it to me.
In my experience using propane...
I have never tried smoking on a kettle, when I have smoked using briqs I have poured lit coals on top of unlit coals. You can google minion method and other ways of maintaining lower temps for longer periods. I am certain people here will point you in the right direction.
I wouldn't suggest...
I recently bought about 1000lbs of Royal Oak "Premium" briqs for cheap from Walmart. It doesn't seem suitable for long smokes, but that doesn't matter to me. I use it for grilling only. I will use 1/2 a chimney to make a meal and it serves its purpose.
If you are wanting to do a long smoke...
Picanha is good stuff. Rotisserie is the traditional way to do it, but of course you can grill it too. Leave the fat cap on and try to get it charred up without overcooking it.
I was the same way and didn't want to drop that much on a grill. Ended up seeing it on Amazon and there was an option to pay in installments over six months with no fees or interest and they ship when you make the first payment. That pushed me over the edge and I got it. Now if mine got stolen...
