I have an old GOSM that I got at Walmart 5 or 6 years ago. It has served me well. It is not a big block, just the smaller one. I made some mods, but have always fought the temp control. I also didn't truly have reasonable room for a full rack of ribs. It always overhung the grates until it shrunk up a little.
Anyway, I am looking for a new smoker. I have considered a wood one like the Horizen, but again, the keeping the temps right is not something I would look forward too. I do prefer the ease of gas. In searching the forums and reading the reviews, I still don't know what to get.
In the members opinion, what gas smoker needs the least amount of mods and holds 225 in various weather conditions. Notably in the sun. Money isn't really an object at this point. I am just looking for something I am not out adjusting the temp because a cloud passed over the sun.
The closest I have seen so far is the Smoke Vault 24, but there may be more out there. The other thing I have seen, without a lot of discussion here, are those Smoke Hollow combination offset/propane grills. If I could replace my Weber gas grill and my GOSM with one unit, that would be nice. I am just not quite sure how those work.
Thanks for any input.
