Jun 3, 2013 · That lid on the Wrangler is HEAVY! I also like the 16" wheels on the Pecos, as compared to the 10" wheels on the Wrangler. And, I doubt you could go wrong with either one for the price. I looked at the $900 Old Country that is 1/4" thick steel...and for a …

May 28, 2024 · For the brief synapsis - Need a new offset smoker, am mostly narrowed down to Old Country Wrangler/Pecos or Chargriller Grand Champ XD but have questions to help decide which. As background, smoking-wise I've only ever cooked briskets and that is probably the majority of anything I do in the future.

Feb 15, 2016 · has anyone seen a current old country smoker in person recently. old reviews state it's built out of 1/4" steel. the current specs show it as being 14 gauge ( 1/16" ) chamber & 11 gauge ( 1/8" ) doors. the nearest dealer is 1 1/2 hours down the road. if this is true the Oklahoma joe is looking better considering it's 3/16" steel & i have a ...

Nov 16, 2022 · I am looking to switch from a WSM to an offset smoker for my back patio. As such, I am looking at 16 to 20" barrel, 1/4 inch steel. My price range is $2000 or less.

Apr 7, 2016 · I just ordered the bigger 20" All American BBQ Smoker direct from Old Country a few days ago. I'm psyched to get it. I've been using a Char-griller for about 10 years and I wanted something bigger . I did get the tuning plates which i hope will make the vertical section useful for cooler smokes. I have high hopes this will be a pleasure.

Apr 3, 2018 · And these Old Country offset smokers, are bottom to top. The heat flows along the bottom of the meat, which means even in my Brazos, I have to flip and rotate meat often.
