A couple weeks ago the Oklahoma Joe's Bronco drum cooker caught my eye and after reading Max's review here and other reviews elsewhere (including all the manufacturing issues) I'm really liking it. I DO NOT need another cooker. My Weber / SNS, PBC, built in gasser and Green Mountain pellet cooker pretty much have me covered, right? What gets my attention with the Bronco is the capacity of the PBC, air control for low and slow, hinged lid with braided gasket, diffuser plate and two position charcoal basket for $299. To me this is a why not?! To my wife however this is a WT$*&% WHY?! And I do see her point.. lol So I'll let it ride for now and decide or not to use one battle card or save it for another time. Damn MCS.

After I read the new review that was bragging about what a good deal this was for 299 I checked online. I checked online and Walmart has them on clearance for 184$ Well at that price, MCS has really kicked in. what a score
