First time post, looks like a forum I'll spend hours in!!!
I haven't bought a smoker yet, and really need a combo grill/smoker. I looked at Brinkman's comparable model (to the subject item) and some of the reviews said the newer model (metal trays) had inferior steel/paint, and they had issues with the overall quality. So, much as I hate to, I'm considering spending the extra coin on this one. Can anyone comment on it? Pros, cons, recommendations? Link below will take you to what I'm looking at:

I'd originally looked at Treager pellet smokers but their recent move to Chinese manufacturing (and the associated quality control issues) drove me away from those. Unfortunately, I can't foot the bill for a Louisiana Grill or comparable brand name.
Appreciate any insights or advice. Again, I look forward to learning a lot here. My current experience with "meat" is using a crockpot (which I do quite well) and my original Forman electric grill. But let's face it, that doesn't have the "wood" quality.
Thanks,
Larry
