I'd say it depends how long you are gonna keep the grill/smoker.

Oh-HO, I totally missed that. I guess they all look alike to me, lol.
That would explain why the price is significantly lower. That would also
explain why the firebox is on the opposite side, lol. Like KYdsid said, if
you want to give it a shot based on cost, and knowing it is an exploration
of sorts, you might be OK. But I vote with him on the Char-Griller. (Lowe's)
I do not think I really needed to get a new smoker, especially based on the
fact I am trying to find a way OUT of Memphis, but the grill grates were getting
thin on my old rig and the bottom was coming apart. I should have waited awhile
to get the CG, but I didn't and now I will have to MOVE it, lol.
But a word to your mutha, I DID NOT get the firebox, and I still smoke every
couple weekends in the indirect method, and very successfully.
Maybe going whole hog so to speak is better left for when you are hooked.
