Thanks for all of the comments. He currently is cooking on a
Master Forge and is looking to get more into smoking.
There's no way that he was going to be able to drop 2-3 K on a smoker. Fortunately, Cory is somewhat of a tinkerer, so, hopefully, he may be able to address, at least, some of weaknesses. He also likes tending a fire, so he will get a chance to do that, too!
He's seen me cook on my two WSMs several times with good results, but, I guess, decided that was not the way he wanted to go.
I'll be interested to see what he does with it.
