Over Under vs Offset

[rhaugle]

Hey guys,

Curious on the pros/cons between these 2 style of pits... All I have been able to find is that the O/U says "no hot spots" but that doesnt always seem to be true, from what Ive read. Im familiar with the offsets, never used an over under though.

I've asked the same the same question before and still haven't received a convincing response as of yet. It seems the consensus is to go offset because its the most commonly used platform and is proven where an over under or vertical build may yield a more efficient cooker but also a cooker that is harder to get dialed in for consistent temps. Not that it can't be done, just takes more fine tuning to get it where it needs to be. I'm still debating which way to go with my build.
