Check out Blue Smoke Smokers. $1700 for a 24X48 offset, 3/8” think. Best bang for you buck out there. https://bluesmokesmokers.com

If you want multi-purpose, recommend a ceramic like a big green egg or a Kamado Joe. Great for grilling as well and hold a very steady temp. But the large sized ones limit what you can cook at one time. And the XL’s are huge.

I have a ceramic and also a Backwoods G2 cabinet smoker that is awesome, but I finally
Caved in last year and got a RecTec
RT-700 pellet smoker and love it. So easy. Now, my brisket has a better smoke flavor with the other two traditionals, but I can’t tell the difference with pork butts or ribs or chicken, although I smoke pork with apple wood so it already has a mild smoke
Flavor profile. While the brisket using post oak pellets only has like 85% of the smoke flavor vs traditional, no one but me seems to notice. And the convenience, ease makes it worth it. Just turn it on and set your phone and you are good until you wrap (butcher paper for brisket/foil for swine) other than spritzing after a few hours of smoke. It could probably hold 4 briskets but I never smoke mOre than 1 at a time and one-two butts and 3-4 racks of ribs max. Love it and it is sturdy as hell and holds temps perfectly and has a great app.

I spent years as a purist and enjoyed tooling around with the smoker during the cook but in middle age I just want ease and consistency and a good meal

I have the smaller Recteq RT-590. Still plenty big to cook a turkey, or two large pork shoulder roasts, or a few racks of ribs. Wi-fi, two temp probes, large pellet hopper, easy to operate, especially for overnight smokes. I watch a lot of Meat Church and Aaron Franklin videos and seeing Franklin stay up overnight to feed wood into the offset he sells, just seems the pellet grill is a lot easier.
