I purchased an offset smoker several years back but I was unable to gain the necessary skills or patience to use it effectively. I wound up selling it at a yard sale for $20.

I am leaning more towards an electric indoor model someday but am open to this model if it will work for me.
I do a lot of smoking with an electric smoker and when it gets windy or real cold I'll wrap the smoker with tinfoil to block the outside wind and cold. I was also thinking of building a small cinder block enclosure just to block wind and cold.
