Unpopular opinion maybe, but offset smokers are a huge PITA. One that size would have you working a sixteen hour shift to make your ungrateful family one meal they would gobble down in 10 minutes and forget the hours you put in to it. Mine was so hard to get to temperature and when I finally got good enough to cook anything with it, it wasn't that much better than I could do on a regular bbq with a pan of wet wood chips. Certainly not equivalent to the amount of work. If you want it as a hobby because you love it, sure. Guy who just wanted to try to make a brisket a few times a year, forget it.
