I purchased a custom made offset pit from a very well known pit builder. It was a beautiful, very well made pit that cooked very well. But to be honest with you it didn't cook BBQ any better than my WSM's. I'll put my BBQ cooked in my "toy" as you call the smaller cookers, up against your "Big Manly Stick Burner" anyday. Don't even try to get into a "is this real BBQ or not", because if you wanna start that debate nobody including myself and you are making "Real Traditional BBQ" here.
Well i don't know which offset you had,but if you couldn't make tastier BBQ than a charcoal only WSM then something was definitely wrong,were you burning wood? could you burn wood in the offset?Maybe the offset wasn't thick enough for some serious all wood cooking?
You're probably right, my pit was probably poorly constructed of low grade materials and wouldn't work well with the pressure treated pine wood I was using. What would you suggest I do next time?[/quote:ncovkgac]

I love using pressure treated pine it gives the meat a good turpentine flavor.
I dont think I would ever buy ceramic. To much money for too small of a cooking area. If I was going to spend that kind of money on a set it and forget it cooker I would get a stumps or something similar. But I love buring sticks so Ill stick with my gator.
I own a WSM for smaller cooks. I have not smoked any meat on it yet but Ill see in the next month or two if I like it as much as my gator.
