How is the fit and finish? Doors fit tight? Welds clean?

It is tough to find anything of good quality for that price...and I am looking ;D

That was the one I wanted to originally purchase but Academy does not sell it on-line anymore. That is why I grabbed the Wrangler.

Looks like a really nice off-set for the price!

Old Country is based Laredo but their foundry is now in Neuavo (sp?)Laredo, 2 miles across the border. The smokers that Academy sells are built to specs that Academy provides. There might be an occasional smoker that comes in that the fit on doors and vents are not quite right. Most all are tight and right. I still think for the money they are the best out there.

Good to know - thanks, Ken!
