Good morning all.
A few weeks back I got a very cheap, very small, Char-Broil offset from FB Marketplace. It is a piece of junk. I sold it and now I am in the market for another smoker.
I always liked the idea of vertical smoking and heard that WSM is a great one, but I am turned off by that flimsy little aluminum door. I don't know much about Pit Barrel smokers but read great things about them, and they do seem a bit easier to work with. Now, don't laugh, but how does one add charcoal/wood to the Pit Barrel? I don't see an outside opening.
As for offset smokers - Oklahoma Joe is the name I keep hearing good things about, but honestly, I don't know much about specific brands to make a fair assessment of what is available.
Given that this will be my first crack at using a non-pellet smoker, I was thinking about getting a used one from FB Marketplace, OfferUp, or Craigslist. I don't want to go through the nightmare I went through with the Char-Broil.
Any advice is appreciated

Peace
