    SOLD: Fireboard Snap-on Blower 20CFM - New

    I don't think so but it should be pretty easy to fashion your own. The spring-clip is pretty strong so a bit of aluminum sheet metal cut to size and a 1" hole-saw will set you up for a lot of stuff. There's also four holes as you can see, so you can attach to a plate with machine screws or...

    Who Makes the Best Pellet?

    The problem with asking which pellet is "best" is that everyone has a different idea of what "best" means.   Good info above.  A couple added notes.  LG (Louisiana Grills) and Pit Boss are both owned by a company named Dansons.    I've had good success with both the LG Competition Blend and Pit...

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    Correct.  Although it's true that the GMG (as with *all* pellet grills) plugs into and requires electric power, it is used only to ignite the pellets and then run the controller/auger/fans.  The actual cooking heat comes from the burning wood pellets.

    Pellets in New Mexico?

    Sure thing: Pit Boss Comp Blend Sears (as I mentioned above) at $21.66 per 40lb bag with free ship to store.  54 cents a pound plus tax (which Amazon charges here).  I'm guessing there are Sears stores in Chicago, yes?  Link...

    Pellets in New Mexico?

    CookinPellets are good, but respectfully 83 cents per pound is hardly what I'd call a "deal".   Additional note for my post above: Anyone with a Discover credit card can go through the Discover Deals online portal via discover.com and get 10% cash back for Sears orders, which should net out the...

    Any particular reason you DON'T homebrew?

    As true for most hobbies, it isn't as much about the financials as the sense of enjoyment one feels. It's been a LONG time since I brewed as noted above, but out of curiousity I glanced at Northern Brewer website: http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/recipe-kits Looks to be $35-$45 for...

    Any particular reason you DON'T homebrew?

    I don't homebrew.  Takes too much time and trouble in contrast to the cost and availability of excellent locally produced craft brews at reasonable prices. That said, I used to homebrew twenty years ago.  I had a lot more spare time, I drank a lot more beer, there were far fewer craft brewers...
