Ok, I've been smoking meat for a few years now with a traditional offset. I'm looking at getting a pellet grill because I'm wanting to do pulled pork for my wedding rehearsal dinner but I know I wont have enough time to watch the offset all day. I e been looking a z grills and noticed...

Let us know how your first cook goes @HotRoutePod

Nice work @PrezidentRedz !

@PrezidentRedz sounds easy enough! Thanks! I'll post some pics hopefully when I get time to work on it.

Looking good @PrezidentRedz ! Could you do me a favor and walk me through your chimney process when you get time? I'm thinking mine might need it.

@PrezidentRedz looks good. Did you used the taller piece at all?

@PrezidentRedz or anyone else quick question. Do you have a baffle installed on yours, I just came across a reddit thread and a guy had the same problem as me. It came down to his baffle. I installed on yesterday before seasoning so I'm wondering if that may be my problem. I just uses the...

I installed a baffle plate out of some sheet metal. Do yall think its smart to have a water pan as well?

Nice setup, would love to hear the result! I'm hoping this is just because it's a rainy day, although its covered.
