    Help selecting an offset smoker for Dad’s birthday

    Lyfe Tyme makes a real nice heavy duty offset. Got a small one and it cooks awesome, was going to get a bigger one in Lyfe Tyme but none locally here to me. Believe they are made in Uvalde Texas. Mine was 20 years old when I bought it and still in good shape.
