Talk me out of it, or into it

I've had a Callow smoker for the last couple of years and am very happy with it on the whole, though I do find myself fighting a bit to maintain a steady temp after the first few hours.

I've noticed the Fornetto Razzo attractively priced on eBay. What advantage is a bigger/better smoker going to give me, apart from capacity (18.5" vs 14")? Will it hold temp better if it has thicker steel?

The thickness of the steel will not be a big issue.

If you look at a UDS they are just an old Oil Drum, so the steel thickness is around 2mm and they work brilliantly.

 

strange the thicker steel gives a better temp holding range and even cook  .. or that's what i have been led to believe ?

since in the uk we are not normally blessed with such good weather

Agree, but it would have to be very thick to be able to store enough heat mass not to be affected by wind etc.
