bbq: What is the best brand for an outdoor BBQ Smoker you can find for outdoor grilling?|||Depends what you are looking for. Offset smoker or Vertical smoker. The offset smoker is the most popular type of barbecue smoker used by those that participate in competitions. A quality offset smoker can be a bit expensive to purchase. Although a lower quality offset smoker can save you money, it won鈥檛 be able to generate continual heat. This can be quite frustrating considering slow roasting can take anywhere from six to eight hours. With this design, the smoke and heat are both able to easily travel up and around your meat for an even cooking temperature. Bar-B-Chef makes a decent one for about $270. The vertical smoker is a bit different from the offset smoker, though it works in a similar manner. This type of barbecue smoker contains a heat source at the bottom with a water source right above it. This makes it possible to keep the meat moist while adding great flavor. In addition, the vertical smoker is quit easy to use. "The Great Outdoors" makes a propane fueled one for $189 - home depot.|||Lil smokey|||Two good quality barbecue smoker manufacturers are Weber and Brinkman.
