Hey guys, I currently have a WSM 18" and I love it! I only smoke a few times a year, not enough to go out and purchase a heavy duty offset. However, I am interested in purchasing an offset to add to my arsenal, but not looking to spend a fortune. I dont want a cheapo that is going to fall apart, but also don't want to spend alot. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

$700-$1,500 ? That's about the range most people start at to not get the clunker starter models.

hey AL, idk, preferably no more than i spent on my WSM, so around $300 is possible to get a decent offset.

At that budget, you best bet is probably the Dyna-Glo offset vertical. You'll need to mod and keep out of the weather, but it won't last as long as your WSM. 5-10 years would be the expected lifespan at that budget.
