    Torn between Ceramic and a side fire box smoker

    Thanks Rick (Neighbor) Gurnee here.  Wish I was around when you sold your horizon.  So since you had a horizon and now have a WSM, do you see a difference in the bbq between the two?  I know the offset is a lot of work and would probably not get used as much but something still draws me to it. ...

    Hello All, I am considering a smoker to purchase in the next week or so.  The Horizon is one of the top I am considering...along with the egg.  I was curious though on the Horizon vs the Oklahoma Joe.  Its my understanding that Horizon use to make the OK Joe.  My questions is they look so...
