BGS?
ECE?
There is also BGE = Big Green Egg
I love my offset, don't get me wrong. I have a BSnP (Brinkmann smoke n pit), the older more heavy duty one. It turns out Q like no other. But I have done a variety of mods on it, and it still needs to be tended like a child. I don't know of any offset that you could leave for more than say 1-2 hours, except those 5 figure insulated Jamie Geer (Jambo Pits) smokers. That might be your idea of getting out of the house, but for me I prefer the 'set and kinda forget' of the UDS and WSM.

Add to that list
ECB: El Cheapo Brinkmann - aka Brinkmann Smoke N' Grill. The vertical smokers styled after the WSM that you get for like $38 at wal-mart.
Charbroil also makes some that are basically identical to the ECB, just slighlty heavier metal and they are bright red.
They work, but they need more attention than the WSM & UDS.
