buying a bbq?

[Mistadobalina]

So I've got a grill, and I'm now looking to step it up and buy a bbq but I'm not sure where/what I should be getting. It'll be my first time buying/using a bbq, so I'm not sure exactly what I should be looking for, what really matters.

Caveat - I live in NY (got a big backyard in brooklyn), so delivery is a must, unless ya'll know of a place in the tri-state area that I can get it from.

Any input on where to buy (online), and what factors I should consider? I figured this was a more appropriate board than the depot...moderators, please feel free to move if I'm wrong.

Do you mean a smoker? If so, what's your price range?

 

[Mistadobalina]

Yeah, a smoker...just doing some preliminary research on stuff likeThe Link

Price range - Not sure, haven't bought one before...what's reasonable 500-1000$?

This should be interesting. Good luck.

Do you have a brisket supplier lined up? do they have whole briskets?

Is there a Wal-Mart supercenter anywhere near? That is if you want to go the inexpensive route i.e. < $250. Wal-mart supercenters here in Florida (in Orlando and SoFla) carry cryovac whole briskets and smokers and other necessities.

not sure if they will deliver all the way to brooklyn, but it is a very high quality pit.

I got a basic sidebox at the home depot in brooklyn. required assembly. which requred lots of concentration.

We are very happy with our Big Green Egg as a smoker. Alms Plumbing and Heating in Brooklyn is listed as a dealer on the Egg website, you could look it up. They are a bit pricey.
