The cheapest good quality smoker you can find is a Weber Smokey Montain. They come in an 18.5" and 22" and are $299 and $399 respectively. The Bradley smokers are not a bad choice either and are a good price point, but again, only a smoker. The Bradley's cannot be used in competition BBQ because they use a heating element as the source of the heat and not the wood puck, the puck is only used to add the smoke.
2k is alot to spend, but you are buying quality and it will last years to come."I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's a$$, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it". - Tommy Callahan III

Originally posted by Drunk Tank View PostThe reality of it is, 2K for a nice smoker/grill it is about the going price for a unit of this quality. Yes, it is expensive. Go price out a custom pit. A Klose, Lang, or Spicewine offset will cost you 2-3K for a backyard model. Competition pits can run upwards of 6-10K. A Traeger like the one I bought at Costco retails for 1200 (I paid 799) and its now concidered low end as far as pellet grills go. A Cookshack FEC100 (which is a backyard/competition cooker runs $3600 and is concidered the creme de la creme of pellet smokers) is only a smoker, not a grill. An XL big green egg is about $1000 without any of the accessories. Add a table, tools, a digital temp controller and you could be looking at close to 2k.
