I was debating on what my next cooker was going to be for next year. I have a decent amount of offsets and I love smoking my meats in the various cookers. However I seem to keep going back to my first love which is the Santa Maria. I have a wonderful attachment called Gabby's grill that goes on top of a Weber kettle. Which is fine for the back yard but not for the big family gatherings and competitions. It does cook differently and even a smoke ring if you do it right. Yes, it burns a little more wood but it also cooks faster. But what I do get from it is that magic smoke coming back up into the meat from the drippings hitting the wood coals. I plan on designing it this winter and doing a custom build this spring. I want a 36x72 single level.
