I've priced a few different models and it looks like you are in for a $2K investment if you get the set up that maximizes the cooker's capabilities. I'm sure you could run one stock, but tuning plates, charcoal baskets, ash pans (for the square firebox designs), charcoal grill grates for the main cooking chamber, 2nd tier cooking grate, and shipping all add up and push the price from what is usually a base price of $1,000 to $1,500 to $2,000+. My research has been on 20"x40"ish offsets made by Lang, Johnson, Pits by JJ, Lonestar Grillz, Horizon, Meadow Creek (SQ36) and Yoder.
Is 2K the minimum investment for a good quality EOS, or am I missing something. The market seems polarized between the crap you find at Home Depot and custom cookers made by professional metal fabricators.
