For years, I smoked briskets and ribs and pork butts in my back yard using an offset wood smoker I got for free off of Craigslist. And I’m proud to say I made some killer barbecue with it, before it literally disintegrated before my very eyes.
In my search for a replacement, I learned a lot about smokers: what types exist, what results you’ll get from them, and what type of investment of time and money you should expect to put into them to get the results you want.
