You fucking cheapskates.....go BIG or go home! 
You think pins are expensive.....
Or heavy.....the biggest one weighs 3/4 OF A TON.
Quoted from vid1900:For $10,000 I should not have to bend down to the floor to adjust the damper!
That thing is crazy.[quoted image]
Imagine having to MOVE that thing.
Quoted from mbaumle:This is a good deal. I’m usually the kind of guy that believes you should buy a good quality product first time around, but sometimes it just makes sense to get something cheap.
I’ve had my Char-Broil smoker for at least 10+ years now. We also probably bought it at Aldi or Walmart for $100, and it looks like a rusty black poorly built trash can turned on it’s side, But it smokes a mean brisket, and tasty ribs. All that money I saved from not something high end, I put right into piles upon piles perfectly smoked meat.
Thanks for the heads up on the deal, Mr. Vid! I may have to check this one out.
A big problem with some of the cheaper models is the thin metal used, which insulates little, and you burn through much more fuel than more expensive models that used thicker metal or ceramics. My first smoker was a cheap 70 buck vertical and the metal was super thin. It did the job well, but it burned more wood and or lump coal in one smoke than my Kamado or new Dyna Glow vertical does in 3 smokes. So yeah, unit may cost less, but you spend more in fuel.
Quoted from vid1900:HD has Kingsford 100% natural charcoal, 2 bags for $10 this weekend.
Don't ever buy the junk charcoal that has chemicals in it.
Lump charcoal is good too, but it burns out faster.[quoted image]
We have a cash n carry near us that sells 40lb bags of lump charcoal for 14 bucks. In my experience the lump charcoal last much longer than briquettes ever do. 40lbs will also last you a VERY long time 
Quoted from vid1900:40lbs for 14 is an amazing deal.
Is "cash n carry" a grocery store, food warehouse, discount store? Link?
It's a wholesale food place, public welcome.
Oops, it's now called smart food service:
