Well looks like I cant find a smoker to rent for Labor day which leaves next best thing and buying new. Planning to do whole hog around 120lb live weight with head and feet removed. Original plan was OK Joe longhorn reverse and do the mods. Dad decided to jump in and said lets do it right with quality cooker. Below is what looking for
offset with preference on RF unless temps relatively even
Big enough for whole hog-min 40” main grate
Insulated firebox or 1/4”
Reputable builder
If have shelves they need be removeable
Patio style model
Price point would like stay under $3k
looked at Yoder and Kingman is only one may work but prob be close to $4k after delivery. Pitmaker sniper is an option but again $4kish.
looked at variety of others but nothing peaking my attention. What brands are out there now?
