I know this is probably been beat to death topic but any recent good or bad experiences with the old country smokers from Academy? I'm looking at the Pecos and Wrangler II models. Would the smaller cooking chamber of the wrangler be easier for me to manage temps in just starting out or harder?
The Pecos seems like it is a little heavier steel, they have a few of them that look like they have been sitting awhile out front and already showing some rust. I thought about low balling them on the bigger rusted Pecos model. Should I be to concerned about the rust? I assume once they all burn a few times they are going to rust and I will need to touch up the paint yearly.
thanks
