Rock News: 30 Seconds To Mars Blasting Off? Velvet Revolver Will Not Release The Corey Taylor CD and (Hopefully) The Last Of Gene And Shannon! [VIDEO]
Kind of a busy day today as far as rock news huh??
Kind of a busy day today as far as rock news huh??
Slash is helping to bring Perry Platypus a few cool points!
According to Variety.com, Haley Joel Osment will star in "Wake The Dead", the modern-day horror movie co-produced by Slash through the former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist's horror film production company Slasher Films.
Seriously. I have proof...
Yeah, I know it's a tad late. A day late and a dollar short has always been my motto! (Plus I was busy rafting all day yesterday!!)
Slash confirmed with The Charlotte Observer that the band is looking at Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stone Sour to front Velvet Revolver. No decisions have been made since Slash is touring right now for his solo album, though.
Slash's wife claims she never kicked that porn star Samantha Slopes in the stomach.
Check out some pictures from last night's Slash concert, taken by our very own Chad!

Hi: 10° Lo:3°
Wednesday 30 January 2013 Updated: 30/01 18:26
THE recently-formed Jackie Turpin ABC hosted its inaugural boxing show at The Assembly in Leamington on Saturday and it proved a resounding success.
The club, which is based in the old Castle Bar at Warwick Racecourse, was formed last year and is named after the youngest of the famous Turpin brothers who did much for amateur boxing in the area.
The crowd were treated to 11 bouts expertly put together by Nigel Howell who can be pleased with his first effort at match-making.
There were four boxers from the host club with 13-year-old Lucas Tonks providing the highlight by recording a smart points victory over Dale Sanderson (Kettering).
Tonks was expecting a skills bout but found himself in a proper contest and responded in fine style with a confident performance which augurs well for the future.
His efforts were further rewarded by being presented with the Jackie Turpin Memorial Cup, for the best local boxer of the night, from Peter Summerfield a lifelong friend of the Turpin family.
Tonks also shared the Betty Turpin Memorial Cup with Mark Edwards for their dedication and hard work at the gym throughout the year. The trophy was presented by John Turpin, grandson of the late Jackie and Betty Turpin.
Edwards narrowly lost his first fight on a majority verdict against Ben Wortley (Kettering) but did show plenty of promise.
Libby Durant suffered disappointment when a bleeding nose saw his bout against Romario McIntosh (Priory Park) stopped by the referee, while Bryan Deer, fighting at a heavier weight than usual, was stopped by Morgan McGhee (Exhall ABC).
Jackie Turpin ABC secretary/treasurer Lydia Turpin said: "We were proud of all our boxers who worked hard in preparation for our first show.
"They were all straight back in the gym preparing for their next fight with an increased sense of determination to win.
"We would like to thank everyone who attended the show to support us and we are thoroughly looking forward to our next show in May."
Three boxers from Cleary's ABC were also in action including Rheece Cleary in a skills contest against Callum Farden (Kettering).
Dan Quartermaine weathered an early storm from Jacob Alleyne (Capitol) before taking control but was unfortunate to be on the wrong end of a majority points decision.
Slow starting Sean Greenfield, who did very little in the opening two rounds, produced a devastating finish to take a unanimous verdict over Jon Roberts (Worcester City) who had two points deducted for holding.

Headlined by some of the biggest names in music as in-game artists and playable characters, Band Hero is the ultimate party game where players of all ages can create the band they have always dreamed of by using any combination of guitar or drum controllers and vocals, providing rockers and performers of all ages the chance to experience and interact with their favorite music.

Score distribution:
Positive: 30 out of 45
Mixed: 15 out of 45
Negative: 0 out of 45
Neversoft and Activision have built on the successful design of Guitar Hero 5 and given it a fresh new look and replaced all that aggressive rock and pounding metal with fun and energetic pop music and the smooth sounds of classic rock from the past three decades that will certainly appeal to younger gamers and their parents.
Overall Band Hero is a good game, as it's essentially Guitar Hero 5 with a different skin and track list.
This game is aimed for those that enjoy music and video games but maybe not as into the metal scene.
It's hard to take Band Hero out of the context of its recent music game brethren. Band Hero is the least innovative of the bunch, but that certainly doesn't make it bad. For players who found previous releases too hard-edged for their tastes, Band Hero is exactly what they've been waiting for.
Although the game is quite easy and The Spice Girls are present in the game, Band Hero is still a fine game within the Guitar Hero series. The game looks stunning, the set list has some really nice highlights and practically all the little annoyances are gone. Kudos!
If you haven't played the latest Guitar Hero or are looking for something that all ages of players can get into, it's a respectable choice. However, its mostly flat song list and almost complete lack of anything significantly new may have you feeling a sense of deja vu that can't be shaken.
The game is sound on the technical side, and if you were still a big fan of the stuff, then I'd say Band Hero would be right up your alley once again. However, if you're feeling more than a little burned out at this point, and hoping for something particularly awesome from this release, prepare to be disappointed.

MikesNov 15, 2009A Huge suprise... almost all of the songs are REALLY fun to play, and the esthetic is welcoming. Just as good as the superior GUITAR HERO 5.
Jan 5, 2012The game is actually very fun to play. The setlist consists mainly of pop and pop rock and is pretty easy to play. If you're a hardcore player, you won't find any big challenge from this game. The game is still enjoyable to play and a different experience when you don't have to play very hard songs and can relax with some easy ones.… Collapse
Apr 26, 2013I understand that people say that this game had a terrible Top 40 soundtrack, and they are right to an extent. But there are also some great songs on here, such as "Rio" by Duran Duran, "Mr. Roboto" by Styx, "American Pie" by Don McLean, "Kung-Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas, "Let's Dance" by David Bowie, "Whip It" by Devo, "Happy Together" by The Turtles, etc. I personally enjoyed the older songs in this game, and some of the newer songs are pretty terrible, but I got through them. As for the presentation, I never thought Guitar Hero should be in the whole band business. They should have stuck to guitars and left that stuff for Rock Band. Therefore, the menus are pretty lacking in information and are generally robust. I definitely think the menus are a lot better in Rock Band. However, I think the good far outweighs the bad and I could spend long amounts of time enjoying these songs because some of them are pretty awesome.… Expand
BrianNNov 5, 2009As a Guitar Hero veteran, I was thoroughly unimpressed by Band Hero's setlist or difficulty. Once you've endured the strains of playing through the Halen or Metallica tracks of the predecessors on Expert the difficulty of the poppy tracks on BH feel insulting. I'm not saying it's a bad game, it's actually quite a fun break from the harder games in this series. Some of the set list feels like a 12 year old girls' slumber party playlist at times. I mean, Spice Girls? Jesse McCartney? Really Activision? That said, this is definitely a fun party game and a good gateway for new players, but if you're playing solo and have alot of GH experience then give this a rent just for the camp value.… Expand
Oct 21, 2010ive played alot of theese music games such as guitar hero 2 ,3 and world tour as well as rock band 1 and 2 and the AC/DC track pack. i was not very intrested in this game when it first came out and waited and got it off ebay with a guitar and mic for $23 with shipping . which feels like a real bargan . the track list pretty much makes or breaks it for me how much i will enjoy playing this and about half the music in this game is crap but this game was targeted for younger gamers and i am 32 so half theese songs i never heard of and wish i never did. its a better choice for some thing to play with your kids. the best music game is still rock band 2 in my book.… Expand

text: A completely cooking little live set from Aretha Franklin – and a crowning moment not just in her career, but for Atlantic Records soul in general! Aretha's working here before a very enthusiastic crossover crowd at the Fillmore West in San Francisco – getting tight backing from the combo of King Curtis (Memphis Horns, Billy Preston, and Pretty Purdie in tow!) – and hitting a groove that's often rawer, grittier, and more deep-soul tuned than some of her studio sides from the time! The recording quality is totally great – and goes out of its way to preserve the presence of the audience, and showcase Aretha's own interaction and strong sense of personality. Ray Charles makes a surprising guest appearance on one track, but the whole show is really Franklin's own – a majestic little live date that features the tunes "Spirit In The Dark", "Respect", "Make It With You", "Don't Play That Song", "Dr Feelgood", and "Love The One You're With".

If your computer crashes or if you don't have access to the e-mail server for some reason, wouldn't it be nice to have backup copies of your important messages somewhere else (like on a CD)? You can do this by copying a PST file. You can then move the copied file (and the messages it contains) to another computer or to a CD.
Making a copy also makes it easy to share e-mail messages with, say, a newly hired co-worker or the person who takes over a project for you.
Here's one way to create a backup copy of a PST: You start in Windows Explorer and make a copy of the file there. You'll need to close Outlook before you do this.
Tips We've included links to more information about the following tips in the Quick Reference Card at the end of this course.

President Goodluck Jonathan may not extend the three-month timeline given to the Justice Idris Kutigi-led National Conference to complete its assignment, SUNDAY PUNCH learnt on Friday.
A Presidency source, who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent on Thursday that the idea of extending the duration was currently not in the President's plan.
The source said any attempt to extend the duration would end up confirming the position of the opposition that the conference was coming too close to the 2015 general election.
He said that was why the President called on the leadership of the conference in his inauguration speech to work hard to meet the deadline ahead of the elections.
"I urge all officials and participants in the National Conference to work extra hard to ensure that their deliberations are completed on schedule, well ahead of the schedule of events for the next general election already announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission," the President had said.
Efforts to get the reaction of the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, on the matter did not yield any result on Thursday as he was on Jonathan's entourage to Yamoussoukro, Cote D'Ivoire for the 44th Ordinary Session of the Conference of Economic Community of West African States Heads of State and Government.

Osho continues:
"If there is no space, you cannot move. You need space to move outside.
"Inside movement is not in space but in time. If there is no time, you cannot move inside. Time is inner space. So from one second you move to another second, from this day to another day, from here to somewhere else, in time, from now to then. Time is inner space. Analyze your mind, and you will always be moving from past to future, from future to past. Either you are moving in the memories, past memories, or you are moving into future desires. Memory or desire, past or future…
"When you move from the past to the future or from the future to the past, only then do you use the present moment, just as a passage. For the mind, the present is nothing but the dividing line between past and future. For the mind, the present is not really existential. It is just a dividing line from where you can move to the past or to the future. Mind is never in the present, because in the present you cannot move.
"So understand this: in the present you cannot move – then there is no time. The present is always a single moment. You are never given two moments together; only one moment is given to you. You cannot move from A to B, because only A exists; there is no B.
"Understand this quality of time in the present: you are given always a single moment. Whether you are a beggar on the street or an emperor, it makes no difference. Your time wealth is the same: one moment at a time. You cannot move in it. There is no place to move, and mind exists only in movement. So mind never uses the present, it cannot use it; it goes back to the past. Then it has many points to move to. A long memory, your whole past is there.
"Or it goes to the future. Again you can imagine. The future is also, basically, the projected past. You have lived, you have experienced many things. You desire them again, or you desire to avoid them."
In this title, Osho talks on the following topics:
past… play… present… stillness… missed… habit… mechanical… shankara… emerson… tanka

"Super quick delivery (days earlier than expected!). Quick and easy design template. I used the pearl paper and am so glad I did. It added a little extra shine to the gold style design. The weight of the paper was perfect for my son's birth announcement!"
"I wished I would have known the the cost for sending it would be more than sending a regular 4 x 6. The quality is great and I love the option for adding text or pictures on the back too!"
"This is the most unique card with beautiful colors! We used the card for our second son's birth announcement and received so many compliments! This is my second time ordering from tiny prints and I will continue to do so. The cards are such great quality!"
"I am impressed with the quality of the card. I got it with the pearl finish. The subtleness of the finish makes the card look luxurious."
"...that I didn't buy more! These cards surpassed my expectations! I had previously ordered birth announcements from another company and had to return them because they were hideous. After I got my money back I bought these. I wish I had ordered these first, it would have saved me a lot of time. I liked how simple the design was; once I put my information in it really looked like the card was designed just for him! I ordered two separate prints, one in English and one in Spanish, both look wonderful. The thick cardstock looks professional so I recommend using a high quality picture to match. Oh, and save yourself time and money by ordering more than what you think you'll need. Once I saw the cards I wanted to show off my baby by giving one to EVERYONE!"

I said,—for Love was laggard, O, Love was slow to come,—
"I'll hear his step and know his step when I am warm in
But I'll never leave my pillow, though there be some
As would let him in—and take him in with tears!" I said.
I lay,—for Love was laggard, O, he came not until dawn,—
I lay and listened for his step and could not get to sleep;
And he found me at my window with my big cloak on,
All sorry with the tears some folks might weep!

CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say they've arrested a man who's accused of breaking into Selena Gomez's guesthouse while the 21-year-old actress and singer was home.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says 20-year-old transient Cruz Che is being held Monday on $50,000 bail. Deputies didn't know if he'd retained an attorney.
Sgt. Fray Lupian says Gomez arrived at Gomez's Calabasas home at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday when she heard a noise and called security.
He says the suspect knocked on the door and a friend answered but slammed it closed when he asked for Gomez.
Security found the suspect in the guesthouse and held him for deputies.
Gomez, the former "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress turned pop star, was named favorite female singer Saturday night at the Kids' Choice Awards.

PLAYERS: Blake Koch, Benny Gordon
MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Blake Koch and the No. 24 SR2 Motorsports squad are heading west for the Royal Purple 300 at Auto Club Speedway. Koch is coming off his third straight top-25 finish of the season and looks to carry the momentum into this weekend. Koch has two Nationwide Series starts at the two-mile oval. His best finish, 25th place, came last season. SR2 Motorsports has one start at Auto Club Speedway. Benny Gordon, current general manager and lead crew chief of SR2 Motorsports, drove the No. 24 car to a 22nd-place finish in 2012. Koch comments on racing at Auto Club Speedway: "Auto Club Speedway is place that really tests your car. At SR2 Motorsports, we've done nothing but upgrade our equipment. It's a very fast race track. Car bodies are very important. Horsepower is very important. We've got both of those things taken care of. Hopefully we'll have luck on our side and we'll get a good run in. "You tend to have longer runs at Auto Club Speedway. There aren't a lot of interruptions in the event, so that puts a huge emphasis on practice. Without very many pit stops to adjust on the car, you have to get it handling pretty good before the race. If you don't, it will be tough to get it dialed in. With long runs, you've got to manage your tires. It's OK for us to give up some initial speed if we keep up the same pace. I don't think about fuel mileage or saving gas until my crew chief tells me it's time to do so. "We're going to go there with a good piece.

Charcoal Smoker Recommendations
Yeah, the barbecue bug has once again bitten us. We used to barbecue with an inexpensive, upright electric smoker when we lived in the Northeast, but once we officially became Texans, we didn't see any need to work at it ourselves, especially when there are so many barbecue places nearby. It just didn't seem like it was worth the trouble. It has been many years since we last tried smoking anything ourselves.
So, while at the big box homestore today, we noticed someone walking out with a fully assembled, miniature offset barrel smoker -- complete with separate firebox, stand with shelf, and smokestack. It might have been one of the cutest things we have ever seen! We ran into the store to discover that the last floor model had been sold, and started looking up alternatives online when we returned home. The bug has definitely bitten again.
We are a small family, and we never grill or barbecue for more than a few guests. It doesn't rain much here, so we could go back to electric and have many more opportunities to use it without fear of GFI circuits popping, but we think we want to go with charcoal/wood this time. Biggest question: Upright versus offset. Also, is the Big Green Egg really worth it?
Any recommendations would be welcome as we complete our reseach over the next weeks.
re: Kelli2006
The 22" is nice but it is really big. The 18.5" has two racks and fits 2 whole pork shoulders or like 6 racks of ribs.
I've used a Brinkmann's upright smoker for years with great results
I've cooked everything from dog's and burgers to leg o' venison to cherry smoked salmon with it.
re: HeBrew
Cook's Illustrated did a review a couple of years ago and didn't like the Brinkmann's at all because there wasn't a grate for the burnt ash to fall into causing it to smother itself in a couple of hours. The Weber Smokey Mountain our performed the Big Green Egg and was 1/5th the price.
re: Kooper
A neighbor gave me his brinkman smoker about 20 years ago, they were moving and didn't want to move it, it was barely used. After using it a few times, I knew why it was barely used. I couldn't keep the temperature constant for any length of time and was constantly adding coals to keep it going. It lacked proper air flow to maintain coals at a constant temperature. In just a few uses I pronounced it beyond hope and gave up. After about a 15 year hiatus from smoking, I bought the Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5". It's way more expensive than the Brinkman, and it works way way better. I can use the inside out method of starting coals in the center and letting them burn to the outside and I can smoke two pork shoulders overnight without having to worry about loosing temperature. I just start it up before I retire for the night and check it again in the morning when I get up. A few more hours and I've got fresh, hot, smoked pulled pork, just in time for lunch.
I'll admit I've never used a BGE or equivelent, but why pay that much extra, when the Weber Smokey Mountain does such a great job at such a reasonable price?
re: BiscuitBoy
This is a cooking method I found on the Weber virtual bullet web site, so I can't take credit, and I'm sure this it not the name they refer to, but it's how it works. Use a large can, coffie can or #10 can, about a gallon, that's open on both ends. Place this in the middle of the coal grate and fill around it with unlit coals. Then pour about a chimeny starter of lit coals into the can in the center of the grate and remove the can with chanel locks or similar long handeled plyers. That chimeny full of lit coals will get the smoker up to that 250° range and then continue to light coals next to it, working it's way out to the outer edge with time. On the 18.5 this will go for about 10 to 12 hours, depending naturally on how often you open to take a look at progress and the weather concitions.
I personally have not tried this with 100% hardwood charcoal. I have used it with a briquette hardwood charcoal combination and it worked just fine. You may want to check the virtual bullet web site to see what they have to say about hardwood charcoal and this method. I haven't used hardwood enough to have a good feel for how quickly it burns in comparison to briquetts.
Good luck,
re: BiscuitBoy
You can use this or a Minion with lump charcoal. The trick is to pack your charcoal ring *really* tightly. Otherwise too much surface area of coal will be exposed to oxygen, and you'll burn hot and fast.
re: bagofwater
The WSM is designed for briquettes. I have found Lump doesn't work as well while the briquettes give off fairly a constant heat during the entire time the lump is really erratic.
re: Kooper
I have to disagree I cook 2 to 4 8lb butts at a time in a 18" WSM with lump . Lump works fine. Just pack it correctly.
re: Trazom
hey traz, what is the actual outside diameter of the bottom section (charcoal bowl) of your wsm? I'm looking to cobble something together for a similar smoker I have

re: BiscuitBoy
Sorry I just saw this. Im at work right now so cant measure it. But according to this site its 18.5"

Thanks, Big T...the parts diagram is handy too!
re: BiscuitBoy
note to self: next time you talk to the nice lady at the parts place, tell her your neighbor's wsm serial number, or else they won't sell you parts!
re: Kooper
CI is not a place I'd rely on for smoker recommendations.
re: rasputina
As a dedicated smoker, I agree 100% with those findings.
re: HeBrew
Its been years since I cooked dog.
The BGE is definitely worth it, but it's an advanced piece of gear. Not in that it's difficult to use, but if you're a relative beginner, you may not fully appreciate the Egg. I'd recommend going with a cheaper grill/smoker for a couple of years; if you really get into it, then think about a BGE.
i have a big box store barrel with the offset smoke box. they aren't great for smoking slowly (infact they are somewhat bad), they are decent as grills. mine has no easy way to clean out the ashes. also some of the paint burnt off.
IMHO, the most important thing to consider when smoking is temperature control. The problem with cheap offset smokers is that they are not airtight and they dont produce consistent heat.
This is just one site, but it has a lot of information.
And the folks I know with the big green egg all love it-but they can be fragile. Since you are a small family, Id say just start with a gold weber kettle, smokenator and a kick ass thermometer until you get feel for working with coals, getting the temp right and mastering your rubs and sauces. Then you can decide if you want to buck up for something more.
As far as electric and propane smokers go, there are differing opinions. For me, if you want delicately smoked poultry and fish, go electric. But if you want BBQ, its gotta be charcoal or hardwood. For me, Id pass on the propane.
re: BiscuitBoy
Hog wash! The BGE suffers no ill effects from extreme cold. Go to the Egg forum and there are many people from cold weather states who leave it out all year.
re: BiscuitBoy
The question is. Do you want to risk pulling your back or your 700$ grill? I'll take 2 trips to physio given the choice and move it to the basement to be sure.
re: BiscuitBoy
That forum is much more loosely moderated then this one. The posts are not censored and people write what they want. The BGE has a lifetime warrentee and I have never heard of the cold having any affect on the cooker. In fact the manufacture specifically states that the BGE will suffer no ill affects from the cold.
If you read the forum there are many examples of how people deal with the snow and winter in the north. That is unless you think they are all lying, and then that would be your problem.
All I can say is I've had mine for 5 years and besides replacing the gasket once, I have done nothing else and It is as good as new. Best money I ever spent.
re: BiscuitBoy
I am not saying that the BGE have problems in a cold climate or not, but if you are concerned, you may consider a Big Steel Keg (Bubba Keg) if you like that style of pit.
re: AdamD
I just bought a 22.5 inch Weber one-touch gold and am new to BBQ. I will use it for grilling but would really like to get into smoking. What kind of thermometer would you recommend to monitor the kettle's temperature?
Also, do you have any book or website recs for a beginner?
Thank you!
re: Simon Patrice
If you're looking for a great grilling/BBQ resource, you won't find much better than this:
I'm a regular poster there and we enjoy helping those new to BBQ. You can most certainly use a Weber Kettle as a smoker. Using an indrect/mimion method you should be able to get 4-6 hours on one load of charcoal.
re: Simon Patrice
Simon, you can get a thermometer to mount in the lid, like the one in the Performer lid, or you can get a stem thermometer and drop it into the lid vent on your OTG. Either one will give you something to monitor, you can work from there. Neither one, however, will give you grate temp, which is of course where you are cooking. Best would be a remote probe-type thermometer, or actually two. Put one through a small potato and set the potato on the grate near the meat. That way you can monitor the grate temp, but the potato will keep the probe off of the grate so that you aren't reading the temp of the metal. The other one can be inserted into the meat so that you can see when your food is approaching the desired finished temp. Depending on the food you are cooking, you might soon (or later) develop a way to tell doneness by look or feel, but until then the thermometer is a great help. The wires from the probes can simply be run under the lid edge or, if you are worried about pinching them, through the lid vent. By the way, I've mentioned thermo's in the lid vent a couple of times because you should strive to always keep the lid vent open and regulate your temp using the bottom vent(s).
re: Cheez62
I like using a (real) wine cork to keep the pit temp probe off the grate. Plus you get more than one use out of it (unlike a potato).
re: Cheez62
I bought Weber 9815 replacemntt thermometer for my One Touch Gold kettle. Drop it into the top vent, making sure not to touch the food. Probably not perfect measure of temp at grill grate level, but better than nothing. I bought a Thermapen to test food doneness, which is expensive but worthwhile investment for cooking in general.
re: pharmnerd
Do you leave it in the vent the whole time?
re: Simon Patrice
Yes, while cooking only.
If you want a BGE then that's one thing, if you just want to smoke a brisket, or pork shoulder, or some ribs, then all you need the the Weber Smokey Mtn. the 18.5 is big enough to smoke two very good sized pork shoulders, about 8 lbs each, or even a good sized turkey. Don't waste you're money on the cheep crap that's out there. It won't last.
Most will find that the offset barrel cooker will have hot spots and cool spots, usually depending on the distance from the firebox. you can do things like lower the smokestack on the inside and add some sort of tuning plates to better distribute the heat, but that can be some work. I think that "mini" offset would have been worse, though I could be wrong. I would highly recommend the WSM. Which size, 18" or 22", is up to you, though I know I'd choose the larger ;-)
I have a vertical offset smoker and, though I love it, it requires a lot of attention and a fair amount of fuel for a long cooking session. The WSM can pretty much allow you to dial-in your target temp and forget it for hours - it will hold that temp for a long time.
I don't have as much knowledge about the Big Green Egg. I think it seems like an awesome cooker, and it can do really high temps as well, for things like searing steak or making pizza. But it costs what I spent on my kids first couple cars, so it should be amazing.
If barbecue is your main focus (and your question suggests that it is), then I suggest the Weber Smokey Mountain. If you need a grill too, then maybe the BGE.... or you could just get a Weber Kettle to sit alongside the WSM. But that's another subject ;-)
re: Cheez62
Thanks for this additional recommendation. This is about where I am at -- too much money for the BGE, and I don't anticipate using it for anything else but smoking, so the lure of patio pizza is just not there for me. I can go larger than a little one if it makes sense, but I would only be smoking for four to six people on a really usual day. It looks like WSM has a lot of votes.
re: RGC1982
If you're planning on exclusively using it for smoking, and you're not feeding your whole neighborhood, go with the 18.5" WSM. I love mine. I have cooked upwards of 25 pounds of pulled pork in it. It takes a couple of cooks to get enough gunk in it to get the airflow right, but once that happens, temperature control is a snap. Plus, there's a great support group here: http://tvwbb.com
re: bagofwater
Another vote for the WSM. It's like the Set It and Forget It of smokers. Holds temps very well over a long period of time - like one load of charcoal for 6-12 hours .
re: bagofwater
I just got a WSM (18") last week and someone on the cookware board recommended tvwbb.com. What a great resource!
re: RGC1982
I bought a Brinkman vertical smoker years ago and hated it. I don't think I would like the Weber Smokey Mountain any better, although I'm sure it is easier to maintain the fire/smoke/heat than the Brinkman. Having to lift a rack of meat to get at another rack of meat underneath it is a PITA.
I personally could not spend the huge money it cost for a BGE.
We have a barrel offset smoker that works well for smoking briskets, several racks of pork ribs as well as whole turkeys and chickens. They are inexpensive to buy when compared to the WSM and BGE. That being said, if you are not going to smoke a lot of meat for big crowds and are also into charcoal grilling, I'd buy a 22-1/2" Weber regular grill and use it for both smoking and grilling. Put the charcoal on the sides for smoking/indirect heat, add the soaked chips via the flip up hinged rack and you can smoke a brisket, 3 or 4 racks of ribs on a rib rack or poultry. You also obviously use it for steaks, burgers, hotdogs, etc. for grilling.
I would be interested in an off set vertical smoker with the shelves and a door for our northern Minnesota cabin, but my brother keeps saying he's going to build one with a big steel box we have up there. I'm still waiting.
re: RGC1982
Consider this another vote for the 18.5" WSM.
re: RGC1982
You can add me to the list of people who like the WSM. In the past I smoked meats on a Weber kettle and it worked well but I was constrained by size. It got to the point that I wanted to smoke a brisket and a pork shoulder. I bought the WSM 22.5 because I didn't want to have a day where I said "gee, I should have spent the extra $50". There are some very good deals out there. Sears online had a deal where the WSM 22 was $315. I took that deal to Lowes and they matched it. Good luck with which ever smoker you decide on. And by the way if you haven't already gone there, I strongly advise you go to WWW.TVWBB.com for more/all the info you'll ever need about the WSMs
re: jnk
Slamming the BGE for being 'fragile' is so off base. We have two that remain outside 12months per year. One in New Jersey and one in New Brunswick, Canada. Both have been rained on, snow covered, frozen, chilled and stirred and there is not a lick of damage or deterioration due to weather. Having gone through a handful of conventional grilles from Weber to Dukane and smokers from Brinkman, the BGE has proven itself to have a much wider 'range' of applications; low temp smoking when I've done briskets and pork shoulders for 18+ hours at 200 degrees monitored by a Maverick E84 wireless two probe thermometer to 650 degree pizza on a stone to 750 degree sears of primal cuts. NONE of my other grilles could sustain or maintain temps like the Egg. As for price, the ever cited Achille's heel, my first one was a Father's Day gift so I'm sure we paid full fare; but my second one we bought very slightly used at one of the regional EggFest events where a bunch of BGE's are used by cooking teams and then sold off after the 2 to 3 day event. The price drops by 33% and you can either carry them home (easily fit in our SUV) or negotiate for shipping. The EggFests are incredibly fun (we've been to two and planning for another visit this summer), entertaining, great BBQ, recipe swaps, cooking demos, etc. 'Fragile'? Nope.
re: rasputina
We have a ceramic grill, Kamado, and love, love, love everything that comes off, or out of it!! It is 10 years old and just as good as it was new. Stays outside all year round. We've cleaned snow off it and used it in the dead of winter. BGE is also an excellent product. Don't be afraid of the weather with the ceramics. It is worth every cent we paid for it and much more. The kids are fighting about who gets it when we're gone!!!
I recently saw a Charbroil offset barrel smoker at Target for $100. It wasn't the largest on they have, but looked adequate in size for what the OP described. I also saw a similar, but larger 40" model at The Home Depot for $158. The 18.5" WSM was $350 at The Home Depot. I'm sure it works well, but if money is tight, there are alternatives.
re: John E.
There are always alternatives. The OPs request was for recommendations on a charcoal smoker, I can recommend a Weber Smokey Mountian, I can't recommend a lot of the smokers out there. My son-in-law bought a $100 offset barrel smoker at Walmart, but I wouldn't recommend it. I could only recommend a quality product with which I've had positive experience. But yes, there are a number of lower cost smokers, I jsut haven't used one that performed anywhere close to the WSM.
re: mikie
The first smoker the OP mentioned was an offset barrel smoker but it was unavailable. I wrote a post that provided information where two models were available. I have used offset smokers and have found them to work fine. Why did you address this post to me, with a little attitude to boot? If you have 't used an offset smoker, I would not expect you to recommend using one.
re: John E.
My apology for any unintended attitude. I addressed you because I believe one can't recommend something they saw and haven't used or really have any information on. Surely the OPer can go shopping either on line or in person. If I'm going to make a recommendation, then it's going to be something I have either used or have first hand experience with. At difference in philosophy I suppose, or perhaps different interpertations of what the OP was looking for. I read recommendation not option. Again, I apologize for any misunderstanding or appearance for attitude.
Also, if you do opt for the WSM, buy it from AimToFind.com. The 18.5" model is going to $250 (shipped).

And we couldn't agree more: From divine acts like Deep Dish to Paul Van Dyk, Seb Fontaine to Carl Cox and DJ Irene to DJ Rap, the Church's elders consistently offer up the most blessed of electronic sacraments. Those passionate about the beat should flock to the Church to bow down before the most high -- or at least admire the angels in the architecture.
