[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16417946, member: 117234"] At the moment I have a weber 26 and a pit barrel cooker. The weber is used strictly for grilling and the pit barrel for smoking. Now the 26 is expensive and unless you use it all the time and have a larger family its better to get the 22. The 26 is awesome for shear capacity though and holds temps just as well as my previous 22s. My pit barrel gets used once or twice a month at the moment. If you use the hook and hang method it offers a lot of capacity for its size. You can however only do 1 brisket or 2 butts at a time. Not that big of a deal but when you entertain like I do it can come up short. With that said if I had it to do over again I would not have bought the pit barrel. The quality is good and it works but the lack of capacity and dealing with the rebar is what I don't like. This has led me down the road of building a UDS. Plenty of capacity with 2 racks and a much longer burn time. Depending on how you build it and where you get your drum it can be as cheap as $150. I am lookong at about $250. Stack that against the pit barrel and the UDS wins out on capacity, temp control and price. With all that said I cannot stand pellet smokers. Why? Simple the smoke flavor tastes fake and I cast taste the chemicals used by treager and pit boss to flavor their pellets. Don't let treager lie to you, all their pellets are the same wood with added flavoring to make apple, cherry ect. Also if you have a warranty claim with them never admit you used anything other then their pellets or they'll void your warranty which is garbage imop. [/QUOTE]
