Offset Smoker

[smokeasaurus]

The Old Country Pecos is one of the few off-sets that are stuck in the middle. You either have Home Improvement junk or custom made pits that will break the bank. Old Country has pitched their tent right in between and make a pretty solid welded pit.

For the record Aaron Franklin got his start on the $99 smoker that leaked, etc....in fact, he got another one like it that someone put out by the road.
With these COS he taught himself to control heat and smoke and learned how to cook some of the finest brisket in Texas.
He has produced a large number of videos on smoking meat for Texas public television.  Most of these are done in the backyard.  He uses the Pecos COS for the videos.  That's why I got one.
If he was using the $99 smoker, I would probably have got one of those.

I can see how the cheap ones can teach you a lot, and make you have patience.  The welded firebox to smoking chamber is a biggy in my book after working with the bolt on combo.  The only reason I found the Pecos, is because of you and AF. Having watched all his videos, thinking if its good enough for him, its good enough for me, especially at a reasonable price.

Good part of the market to latch onto.

I'll tell you this...I changed the way I was trying to use my Pecos Smoker after reading "Aaron Franklin: A Meat-smoking Manifesto".
I guarantee you will enjoy this book and you have a great understanding of fire and smoke.  Heck, it's a great book to have even if you don't have a smoker.
Uncle Dee gave me this book and cookin' on the offset has been a pleasure ever since - no more stress.

If I haven't made it clear...get the book!

Just sayin'...
