    sales on pellet grills?

    I pulled the trigger on a woodwind when Home Depot had them for $600-something with the sear box......so better or worse, I am taken care of (although thus far it has clearly been "better," this thing is great). At the time-abouts there were some really nice sales floating around. Now, I have...

    ok have yet to burn the sear box clean, and I am terrible at taking pictures, but smoked 4 pork chops and 2 NY strips last night. 2 chops rubbed in blackened seasoning and 2 in weber steak n chop, both strip steaks in blackened. They were just "grilled" at 400. Very nice, I overcooked the...

    Can you grill on the sear box? I would prefer to smoke day in and day out but I just wanted to cook a steak or a burger can you actually do that or are the reasons the box won't do a full cook?

    god that's tempting....I was actually hoping to avoid a sear box, and divorce myself from propane tanks, but liked the woodwind and its reviews already. Now they drop the price, too? More paralysis by analysis...

    so.....another question (the more I read up the more things I need to ask, it seems): Some augers feed directly into the firebox, some drop into it from a distance to avoid risk of fire in the auger assembly. 1. Is this a real threat? 2. Assuming it could be, who makes drop-in setups or...

    not interested in the kamado.BGE types.....I think they're pretty cool and have an uncle who swears by his, but it isn't what I'm looking for in terms of footprint, etc. I am afraid

    for the camp chef folks, does the direct-flame grilling feature make a difference, or is it a gimmick? Will it sear like a grill?

    Hi all, first post but I am looking to buy a pellet smoker to replace some old stuff--I have a propane grill and a home-made drum. I have read a fair bit on here and understand the pellet smoker has some limitations in both grilling and smoking, but they appeal all the same--controlling temps...
