Offset Smoker - Advice Needed

[Jasoniller]

Hi all!! I own a Weber Kettle and a Traeger Pro Series 34. Now I am going to venture into cooking on an offset smoker. I am planning on buying one over the next few days and having never cooked on a stick burner before, I need some advice on both what to look for when I buy one and how best to learn/begin cooking on one?
Any advice, suggestions, feedback, etc., would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have a look at https://houseandbeyond.org/best-offset-smoker/, they have a few good option in their review. I purchased the Traeger TFB42LZBC Offset Smoker which I found to be great value I was only looking for an Barrel Smoker, and ones sold at places like BBQ's galore etc seemed to be cheap and nasty, and still come in at around $800.
