Lonestar Grillz. Very high quality pits and an awesome local business in the Houston area. Chris stands behind his products and will take as much time out of his day as you’d like to walk you through the models and options so you make the best decisions for you. Buy once, cry once.

Offset is the best. BGE are okay for steaks, but they can't cook a brisket as well as a stick burner offset. In my opinion.
Like everything, you can pay a little or a lot for one. From $200 to many thousands.
Do you want it portable/trailered?
How much do you want to cook on it at one time (size)?
Regular flow, or reverse flow?
How easy is it to clean out, both inside and firebox?

I’ve got a Pitts and Spitts stick burner and a Weber Smoky Mountain. They both produce great bbq, but the Smoky Mountain is way easier. You don’t see the crazy temperature swings with the Weber, so you don’t have to babysit the fire so much. I can get the charcoal going with some chunks of wood and it will remain steady for 10+ hours. I might need to add some water one time. It also uses a whole lot less fuel, and it doesn’t take up much space in the garage. If you get the Weber, I would recommend the 22”, otherwise you will need to trim some of the larger briskets.
