Hi I'm new here

[AdamH]

Hi my name is Adam and I'm from bracebridge heath in Lincolnshire. I'm looking to start learning the art of smoking. I love the thought and art around offset smokers and that's what I'm looking to get as soon as I can

Welcome AdamH 🍻

Have you got any particular offset's in mind? 

There is lots of info on this forum and plenty of users who are happy to help with any questions you may have👍😁

[AdamH]

Thank you for the warm welcome

 

Originally I was looking at the oklahoma joe Highland, which in the UK is quite expensive and found it cheaper to buy in the US and get it shipped over here than buying directly here but I've been looking at alot of offsets like tepro, ladmann but noticed they are all similar prices once you get all the mods to fix them.

HI Adam, 

Thats crazy that it is cheaper to import than buy one direct here. I haven't used an offset but best of luck. There's some great info here on them and other smokers.

Hi Adam, welcome to the group.

I have zero experience of offset smokers but there seems to be a general consensus that a cheap offset isn't going to give you the best results.

I have seen and heard lots of good things about the Oklahoma Joe, once you have made all the relevant mods.

Also worth remembering that importing from the US will still incur VAT so that cheaper price will go up and I suspect a importing a pallet from the US will be pretty pricey!

Good luck with whatever you choose 👍
