I was looking at Blue Smoke Smokers as well down in Texas, awesome looking smokers, solid price but $1 per mile, was $1400 to ship up here to S.Jersey YIKES!!

on mine with the modifications I made, its now super easy. If i were to get another one I would have Craig do the same design as the its alive post I made above. since the redesign my bell fab smoker has been incredible. If you wanted the traditional offset design I would get the 48 inch Bell Fab and ask him not to put a baffle plate in it to ensure top down cooking. That way you can get it as far from the fire as possible and not overcook the bottom of whatever you making. If I did get a bigger smoker I would get the goldees pit next time. Tremendous results, and when I spoke with the guys at Goldees they told me they are going to have their giant pits redesigned with the pipe coming out of the top of the firebox just like their backyard pits.
Ok. This is a really great insight. I have a FB marketplace smoker im looking at but it is a 36 inch reverse flow and a 17 x 17 inch firebox with a char grill combo for around 1800.(Lang Hybrid Patio 36) i think i have to go with the 48 jnch bell tho with the cowboy fbox and Goldees mods and no baffle. He can do 26" on both SC and fbox. Seems like a no brainer at 1750 before shipping. Thoughts?
On my current CG Akorn Kamado, on my first brisket..wife said was the most incredible meat she ever tasted. So I figure if you put some thought into it.. it usually goes well. Id prob be happy with either. Anybody use Lang reverse smokers?
