Thanks -
I guess I should pull the plug - but just can't decide whether to ..
1. try and use my existing 4-burner grill and either add the AMNS or wedge (

2. get the model mentioned above and save some serious $$
3. bite a little bit more and get the Daniel Boone model with WiFi from GMG
I'll think about it more and try to make a decision.
Probably the most that I've learned from this site, and others in relation to 'smoking' is maintaining the temp at the correct 'temp' for the duration it takes (correct meat temp) for what your cooking. Whatever best product you can afford or make, that does this - is the perfect unit for you. You'll always have to 'mod' something as time goes by - so don't stress about that .. just start the journey and enjoy the ride.
thanks again to all ..
