Went to the Sports Academy to pick up some Applewood splits..now I know, just go get the wood, and get out, don't be looking at stuff, but I just couldn't resist, had to go look at the smokers. Now I have had my Oklahoma Joe for years now, done all the mods, got it dial in perfect, I can set a temp and hold it all day, and only use maybe a split every hour and half, but it is a COS. Took a look at the Old Country Bravos...omg..I never actually layed my hands onto a 1/4 steel smokers, this thing is a BEAST, has a stack on it like a diesel truck, two grate levels a gigantic firebox, like to threw out my shoulder just lifting the lid. Now I just can't get it out of my head, but it has $999 price tag...ouch...only got maybe $400 in my Ok Joe with all the mods. LOL..when I was standing there in front of that Bravos smokers Tim Allen kept coming to mind...grunt grunt..OH OH OOOHHH this is a MANLY smokers, I felt wholy inadequate with my puny Ok Joe, but $1000 bucks for something I just don't need...sigh...I am going to have a few more beers and hope that this smoker envy goes away...lol
