I personally really like the new gravity feed cabinets. I'd also settle on a good conventional insulated cabinet. I don't really have the need for something as big as that, but if I did it would be that over a large offset. That one looks to be in pretty good shape. Biggest thing to watch in those is the grease management system, as well as refilling of the water pan. Both those items can make life miserable if not done well.

I just picked up a Stump's Classic, older and in much worse condition than the one you're considering. What I learned through the restoration process is that the MOST important thing to look for on them is the condition of the gaskets on the doors. Unless you're very mechanically inclined, you can't just replace the gasket on you own, and you may even have to replace the whole door. I had to order a new charcoal shoot door for mine for $185, and that's the smallest, cheapest door.

SavageSmoke here's my original post regarding the gasket/door issue. It looks like the one you're considering is in pretty good shape, but in case you find it helpful:

I’m a very satisfied owner of a Stumps XL Baby. It is the flagship of my collection and produces the best BBQ that I can cook. As far as the gaskets are concerned, I’ve never heard of having to replace a door because of a bad gasket. They must’ve been very far gone. I’d be happy to answer any Stumps questions that you may have.
