I am looking at the Backwoods G2 Chubby, but for the money the Shotgun seems to have more capacity and features. Would be interested in everyone’s thoughts.
I bought the BBQ Guru Shotgun smoker in late 2017 and have enjoyed using it. It's VERY efficient using either lump or briquette and I have run it for as much as 24 hours on one load of coals. Yes, you need to use the BBQ Guru controller and fan, but I was already using one on my (now donated to my son) cheap offset smoker and on my Weber Smokey Mountain.
The one modification I made has to do with cooking things like turkey at higher temperatures. If you remove the water pan, you're basically just cooking above the coals. So I had a local metal shop cut a piece of 1/4 inch steel to slide into the cook chamber in place of the water pan and I put a metal pan of lava rock on top of that. Works like a champ, and getting to 350 degrees wasn't a problem.
