Time for an upgrade
Smoker was delivered today! I had to go to the UPS hub to pick it up because they didn't have a truck with a lift gate on it. No biggie but I really think I am going to enjoy my new toy :) I'll get my good camera out when I get home and take some pictures. Going to a friends house this... -

I can't wait to see how much more fuel efficient this new smoker is going to be versus my NB Bandera without mods was. Next order of business will probably be a charcoal basket, but I will see what this looks like when I get it. -

Well I got a shipping quote from UShip.com for $179 so I am very pleased there. Craig called me today and said he is starting to work on my smoker now, and it will be ready for pickup on Monday. Can't wait to start smoking something, I have a few racks of ribs waiting!! Hopefully I can get it... -

UShip preliminary quotes are between $600 and $1600 -

I really don't but the smoker isn't in Atlanta. Its in Tulsa Oklahoma, that is a 9 hour trip from here. -

Hey guys, who do y'all recommend for shipping a grill? I was thinking I could get it shipped for under $200 using a discount through my local Jeep club, but they quoted me $300. I looked at FedEx and it was going to be $1600 OUCH! I was told the smoker weighs about 900 lbs, and its worth it... -

Well I just got off the phone with him and I am now on the order list!!! Got the 24 x 48 and he said it will about 3 - 4 weeks out before he can get started on it, and then 3 day build time so I can't wait!! -

Ok, so he wanted me to call him, but I got his voicemail. Anxious to see what he can do for me. -

Man thats awesome! and an even better price! I e-mailed Bellfab back to see what he can quote me. I told him I wanted slide out racks and didn't need legs or wheels, just maybe some bracing where I can weld to a trailer. -

Well I got a reply from Bellfab, and he said he built a smoker for a guy on a different form for $650 2 years ago. The new price would be $750, but he was sending me to the other forum for a picture. I just registered and will post up mainly because I don't want to sift through thousands of... -

That looks good. How well does it hold temp? Whats the most food you have put on it? I e-mailed bellfab, I will see what he can come up with and make a decision. Thanks for everyone's input on this. I never dreamed I would get this much response. -

The one from Academy looks to be 1/4" I just haven't put my hands on it yet. Not sure if my local store has it. That might be the way to go, I want to make sure whatever smoker I get will hold enough food. As I said earlier its not uncommon for me to throw 6 - 8 butts on or 6+ racks of ribs. -
Time for an upgrade
As much as I would love to have it, I think my eyes and taste are bigger than my wallet and budget! I don't want to go cheap and have to replace it every 2 or 3 years. I would like to buy good quality on a budget price (I know it probably doesn't exist on my budget) and let it last 7 - 10 years. -
Time for an upgrade
Just at the rough looks, the one from Academy is longer than the one from the website, and also has larger wheels. Although the wheels don't matter much to me; whatever smoker I get, I am going to attempt to mount it to its own trailer to make it more portable. Thanks for the links, I'll... -
Time for an upgrade
After looking at Gator Pits website, I think I am falling in love with their Party model. I really want a smoker that I can put 6 - 8 boston butts on and still have room for a couple of racks of ribs for lunch. Usually when I fire up my smoker I make some phone calls and friends and neighbors... -
Wood Smoker Build
Enjoying this build. Whats the latest? I have a lead on a large propane tank like that and want some good ideas on how to build my first smoker. Would like to know how you did your racks, got your doors on, and sealed it up.- crzylee

Hey guys, was looking around and I know cheaper isn't always better, but at the current time I'm not sure I can / want to drop $800+ into a smoker. I am sure in the long run I will regret doing it, but what are opinions of the New Braunfels smokers from Academy Sports? Here is a link for one I...
