Newbie smoker here sourcing opinions on these two smokers from people that know what's up.
Currently running a 22 1/2 One Touch Gold with the Smokenator and additional rack.
I have no immediate plans on purchasing another cooker. I'm just sourcing opinions from people who have lots of experience with these Weber cookers.
Being Weber's I trust their durability. I guess what's really making me ask about them is that looking at the Pit Barrel Cooker priced at $289 delivered makes me wonder if it's not the better deal. I realize the PBC is not really low and slow smoking as it's average run temp is around 325-350 vs the 225-250 I'd rather be cooking at but for the price I just can't seem to wonder if the trade off isn't justifiable. More so since I'm really looking at the WSM 22 1/2 running $400.
So any input anyone could offer me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.
