Wood Only Smokers

[Millberry]

Do they make any good-small-less expensive WOOD ONLY smokers?--OR is the answer to find a used one?

Depends on what you consider less expensive. Never a bad idea to keep an eye out for deals on used cookers. I wasn't necessarily in the market for a stick burner when I found a used Lang 36 for $400. Still pleased with that purchase.

I've been using a CharGriller "Competition Pro" for a few years now. $299 at Home Depot.
The only things I did with it was use Permatex Red on the seams and add some steel plates to baffle. I'm ok with it.
You can use charcoal in it if you want to.....

Oklahoma joe's makes some pretty decent smaller offsets that are affordable

Any offset smoker can use charcoal.....wood.....or a combo of both. In my offset I start the fire with a bed of lump coals then 100% wood splits after that

Dufus thanks you Jake....I think I just hit a point where charcoal was everywhere--floor, hands, driveway,truck--I'll calm down, but enjoy learning from y'all. Maybe a used offset for experimenting with is what I have decided--thanks to all. It will be fun!.
