Don't get me wrong, I love my egg and it was not until I built my offset stick burner that I realized how EASY and "set it and forget it" the egg is. The egg was my first real bbq/grill. But, sometimes I feel like playing with fire and babysitting a pit all day.

Something about smoked BBQ, that makes the worst of times, just a little bit better.
Add a beer in hand and life is just about perfect!

busmania said:Thanks @Thatgrimguy, the grease is indeed an issue I have yet to figure out in my head. It definitely cannot be allowed to pool on the heat deflector plates cause it will burn/smoke. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the old country bbq's. However, I am not seeing any wood fired vertical units in their inventory? Link perhaps?

@YukonRon, my thoughts exactly. I have a vertical and an offset and I can make very good food on each of them but I'll probably never grasp the sort of stuff that the really handy people on this forum understand/build/fix/design/etc.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle
