If I can't get my Big Block, now what?

[cinnamonkc]

So, with the GOSM Big Block on back order and a likely chance that they won't come back anytime soon, what is my next best bet in propane smokers? I don't want to go smaller, and performance is important.

Appreciate the advice!

You may want to consider the Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24. Holds a ton of food! Sportsmens Warehouse has them.

I suggest looking at this website if you want to purchase a Smoke Vault 24".

$299 + $45 for shipping. It is still not as much bang for the bucks as a Big Block but a slightly better made smoker for a little less bang for the bucks.

I'll second that..........why the propane?

Propane is cheating, i think.....

I caught mine on sale last December at Sportsman's for $219.00. Their regular price is $279.00. I don't know if they ship or not.

I was looking at the Camp Chef Smoke Vault last weekend at Jay's in Clare, Mi and that is indeed a nice looking piece of equipment but about twice the price of the GOSM. But probably your best option if you don't wanna wait.

Can you try Wally World and see if they can locate one at another store?

LOL..I have the offset charcoal smoker and love it, but there are times when pulling an all nighter just isn't possible. I want to have the option of "Set it and forget it" (Thank you Ron Popeil!!)

Come on...be nice...
