    Looking to Purchase a Charcoal Smoker

    Hello everyone! I am currently looking to purchase a charcoal smoker and I am looking to get advice for the best bang for my buck. I have been looking at the 22" WSM and the Pit Barrel Cooker. I owned a Traeger in the past and wasn't very impressed with the smoke flavor, so I am shying away...
