WAY too expensive! Holy crap! You can get a good 16"-20" with offset box with 1/4" steel that's tunable for around half that if you look. On the otherhand, custom pieces are pretty sweet.

I mentioned wanting one again and that idea was very, very quickly nixed. I guess practice for a BBQ cookoff is going to be trickier than I thought.

After doing some reading tho, it appears a cheap bullet smoker with mods to the door to seal it better work decent for overnighters. Even the cheapest of models, like KMart/Sears, will work alright and cook for maybe 8 hours on one load of charcoal holding temps around 250* without having to constantly watch it. That can be harder with an offset.

The more expensive bullets like the Weber SM, still under $200, can go 12+ hours with NO mods. They're ready out of the box, but I'd need that permission thing again....
