Offset or custom GF, please advise

Postby Quadkeys » Sat Sep 29, 2018 7:39 pm

Evening guys need yalls input please. Finally have the $$ for a build but stuck. Do i go with offset insulated stick burner or a 50"lx30"wx30"?h insulated GF. My goal is big enough to cook multiple meats or a single 60-80# hog. Would the GF be able to heat the cabinet? I know the SB would for sure. Any input is welcome. Ive been cooking on a cinder block but local fire department told me i cant anymore, after someone reported the smoke. Please share thoughts and experiences..thanks

As you already mentioned, you probably can't go wrong with a Stick Burner. NOW, what does GF stand for :?: :dont: :laughing7: :laughing7:

LOL - Gravity Fed & Beer Bong = similar concept.

So, that’s when you knew she was wife material? :)

Dont worry guys, i love a good cut up just ask my coworkers. Still undecided though. On the girlfriend gravity feed i could prob make it set in forget. Is there anyway to reduce stick burner fire tending?
