thoughts on this smoker (should I buy)

[angerhesmiles]

So I got this random email offering this smoker to me. I'm interested, would use it for my restaurant and upgrade from a reverse flow smoker. It's a Amish built, 2'x2'x1'10"(d) chambers, with a 1'x 6" fire box below each chamber (I'm guessing). Stainless steel. asking price is $1500 delivered. any questions I should ask and any other thoughts would be helpful. Thx

i've already asked the type of stainless, and the thickness of the steel and am waiting for a response.

Will they let you test drive it first? If the test drive works out, that would be an excellent buy.

I won't have the opportunity to go to them, and I doubt they'll bring it to me. Anything you'd suggest I ask?

I would guess you have to rely on their honesty and ask if they have had successful smokes.

If you decide to go for it make sure it's COD. Random email, what seems like a really low price point. Be cautious some things are to good to be true.

No doubt. Sounds like it was made with the plan to do competitions but as they say, "best laid plans..."
And life got in the way.
