I am fighting my MCS right now and losing, so I have it narrowed down to these two LSG 20 x 36 offset or the M1 grill. Need input from those experienced with using wood and offset etc. My other cookers remain Weber perfomer , BGE and a gasser. thanks

Two completely different class of cookers. My only issues with rigs like the M1 or say the Open Range is they are relatively thin painted gage metal. Look and work great until they begin to get older and rust sets in. With an LSG you're buying a tank. It's made out of 1/4" steel plate. Yea it will rust as well but it takes a long time to rust through 1/4" plate.
I guess I've owned way too many thin metal cookers, seen them come and seen them go. Invest in something you could potentially pass along to your children. I'd go LSG.
But that's one man's opinion, I hope you choose wisely padawan !!!

You need the LSG. Without a doubt.
If you like the idea and don’t mind tending your pit it is an incredible rig. Have had mine for 3 years now and absolutely love it. They are sooo versatile depending on what options you choose.
As Troutman said it will rust, but I leave mine uncovered from April until December and the only rust so far is around the top of the fire box. And very minimal at that. I will be buried long before this puppy rusts out. 😁

I love to smoke.. Good One Open Range, PBC, Char-broil Tru Infrared, looking for more grills..
How big you want to go? Normal size of crowd or family you cook for? How much space ya got?? All important questions to help narrow down or open up even more possibilities...

good point. I want something larger than the BGE or Weber . Hate being cramped for space or using contraptions to fit another slab.But I also don't expect to be going into the catering biz anytime soon . Typically cook for 6-12

Hmm.. Are you close to neighbors? I bought 2 stick burners and didn't take in to consideration my neighbors.. Yea.. Talking about inconvenience starting mid-day.. Not that they complain but I'm mindful of the smoke put out to get it going.. So my cooks start very early or late at night with them. Like the LSG for space, griddle, etc. but I think the M1 is more versatile but since you have grills already then LSG will cover all smoking desires but I'd go a little bigger..
