    Time for a new smoker, why should I switch to Pellet?

    This looks like a quality alternative. Any chance they will be offering a smaller size? 90% of the time, I grill and smoke just for myself and my fiancee, and this is obviously a larger grill.

    Time for a new smoker, why should I switch to Pellet?

    That Chargriller appears to be out, or about to appear for sale. It does look like it was better designed and should be more durable than the Masterbuilts. I'm awaiting the first reviews.

    1200$ budget

    Too many to name. And its out of warranty and would cost too much to fix, at this point. And thats assuming it was reliable, which it never has been for long. I may have gotten a lemon, don't want to be unnecessarily negative about the company. They were very responsive when it was under...

    1200$ budget

    I've read good things about Camp Chef, and I know they have some great features for cleaning, but are they built even close to as well as the Rec Tecs? Will they hold up for the long run? Just asking, I've not seen a Camp Chef in person.

    Thanks to everyone for the replies, so far. I have the official, heavy duty, Green Mountain cover (heavy fabric of some type, covered with vinyl) made especially for this model grill over it, at all times.

    Need Help With Green Mountain Daniel Boone Smoker Issue

    Hello, I bought the Green Mountain Daniel Boone Smoker last November, and it's worked very well for me until now. I was smoking a whole chicken the other day, and unknowingly ran out out of pellets 3/4 of the way through. Thats never happened to me before, but perhaps trying the recommended 1...

    Considering Purchasing A Green Mountain Grills Daniel Boone Smoker - Your Thoughts?

    Thanks WaterinHoleBrew and Mowin. A long discussion with a former GMG dealer (only former because he moved and there was no available franchise) and your comments, among others, elsewhere, convinced me to go with the GMG Daniel Boone. I drove about 30 minutes to the local dealer today and closed...

    Considering Purchasing A Green Mountain Grills Daniel Boone Smoker - Your Thoughts?

    As the title says, I am considering purchasing a Green Mountain Grills Daniel Boone Smoker as my first ever smoker. Originally I had been looking at a Yoder YS480 but my planned retirement, which was slated for the end of next year, was just escalated in a major way when the company notified me...
