i have been using a char griller unit i got at a garage sale for 50$. its a gas on one side coals on other. both are barrels on their side. the gas side rusted out a couple year ago but the coal side was like new. previous owner must been lazy. lol anyhow the coal grill became my go to smoker. the fire in the same chamber seemed really easy to regulate. i could toss in 14 coals and get around 250* in summer temps. i been reading a lil about different configurations. most of the new ones use a fire bow off to side. i hear people talk about baby sitting these. are they really that hard to regulate temp in cooking chamber or is that over exaggerated? i dont want to have to babysit my fire. the fire in chamber has been really easy to run forme.
this is the one i been leaning towards https://www.chargriller.com/products/competitionpro it has thicker steel than the one i use now and seems pretty sturdy compared to the other cheapos. id guess you could get a lot of life from it if kept out of the weather. on sale for 325$ locally now.
pros, conns, all opinions welcome.
