If you want to come take a look at mine and ask questions let me know.
BC.... I would recommend you take a peek if you can. There are some trade-offs depending on the overall set-up and possibly your expectations. One thing I liked about Sooner's unit was the working height due to the cart arrangement. Not all VCS's are so equipped. It's a generous offer.
It’s almost like you have some inside info on it

Re: Vertical Cabinet charcoal smoker
The Weber Smokey Mountain user is here.
I use the 22 1/2" Weber kettle (earlier version of second here, can't remember the year). Using the indirect method, and the vents, I've gotten great results, even with a 14lb. turkey. And they last. Mine is 11 years old, I grill 2-3 times a week. Replacement parts are also available.
Also, sometimes they show up on Craigslist for $25 or so. Plus, you can always fabricate a spacer, to go between the bottom and the lid, to make your own version of the WSM. Use a big stainless steel dog water bowl between the fire and the food. The water helps regulate the temp.
Also Meadowcreek makes a good cabinet smoker- charcoal with wood chunks. But those might be pricey.

WSM is a favorite of mine too. I prefer the largest size shown here though, since I only keep it at home... I have my trusty Smoke Hollow PS40B propane if I want something to bring with me when I go camping. What I like about WSM is the sturdy build, I've had mine for half a decade already ever since I first got it when I was just getting into BBQing. This thing never failed me

"Weber stainless gas grill when I want to cook a hotdog" Oh my. what a waste of a beautiful machine. and also please tell your bro that it's time for an upgrade. I used to get satisfied with Pitmaker too for months until I simply went ahead and tried a sexy looking Camp Chef Smoke Vault (the 24"). As a meticulous Instagram poster I made sure the thing fit in with my super luxe gazebo setup (currently don't have a photo! but it looks exactly like the first photo here it's indistinguishable) (totally not wanting to brag. yeah there you gooooo.) and it looks amazing oh and of course it works so wonderfully. I keep it clean by periodically oiling it. So that it stays shiny and pretty
