Any good places in the area to purchase a good quality charcoal barrel-type grill (not a smoker) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Academy has Oklahoma Joes that are pretty good. I think they have a non smoker setup. Just bought a gas/smoker combo and so far it's awesome.

Edit: nvm, I just read that again

Why a "barrel type" grill and not something simple like a Weber kettle?

Believe it or not the grills they have at HEB and sometimes Kroger are decent quality and usually at a very good price. You can also look down at Buc-Ees on 290, they have some damn nice grills outside and pretty good prices.

I'm talking something with 1/4 inch steel or so that will last for decades. The other answer is because that's what I want.

Not sure what you consider an "arm and a leg", but 1/4" isn't gonna be cheap anywhere. If you're looking local, Farm Patch usually have several...

The $300 one at Farm Patch is too small for our needs. I'd like to stay in the $500-750 range. Something like this, but I'd like to check it out in person before buying. I heard they possibly carry these at Bucee's, so will be taking a trip down that way..

I was hoping that somebody here knew of someone locally that made them for sale at their house or something.

I'll be stopping at bucees on the way home today on 290. I'll take a look and see.

Appreciate it!

Farm patch in Bryan has a quality Bbq pit or smoker if you change your mind. I Think mine is 20"x26"I paid 350 about 9 years ago but it holding up great.

Looks to be 1/4" for $699

Thanks for the pics. I'll be stopping by there soon.

Do yourself a favor and go get that pellet grill from sams. That thing is amazing. Cost $440 and well worth it.

I treat my Weber like **** and use it a hundred times a year. It's almost 10 years old and, besides replacing the charcoal grate and bottom vent a few times, it's pretty close to perfect. So I could buy 8 of them for what you're wanting you pay. That's a lifetime.

1/4" steel will cost you an arm and both legs.

Thanks, but no thanks on the crappy Weber.

Lol. It's a bowl that holds food over fire.

It's a ****ty smoker, but about as good a grill as any other.
