I’m in the market for a new smoker and cannot decide between the offset stick burner or an insulated cabinet smoker. I have been looking at the ones Lone Star Grillz sell and they seem to be top of the line. I would like to hear some feedback on the insulated smokers if anyone on the green screen has one. I have a Kamado Big Joe and love but I can’t cook the volume that I need to cook at times. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Really comes down to how much you enjoy babysitting the fire. I’ve had several of both... I’m at a point in life where I’m just too busy most of the time to sit and tend a fire.
But with a IVS, I can throw on a brisket and cut the grass, run a few errands, run the boy to practice or whatever. Never could do that with a stick burner. Yes, the product is ever so slightly better from the later, but imo it’s negligible at best.

Some use a smoke tube or similar and some place wood chunks directly on the deflector plate. I know of several people that use pellet smokers in competitions and do very well.
