Ok, this is going on my list of things to try!

Those look awesome! I've always wanted to try those but I've never been able to find them here until this past weekend. I was in Restaurant Depot and they have them. They're pricey though... I almost pulled the trigger but I went with St Louis ribs instead. After seeing these I'm gonna have to...

From that list I'd have to say Kentucky first but if you really want to get rid of winter life Louisiana. I grew up in Kentucky and now live just across the river from Louisville, KY so I am a bit biased. If I could go anywhere though I'd move to Texas. I lived there for ten years and I'd say...

I’ve had my Maverick 2000 for a little over a month now, and after just two cooks, I knew I had to ditch the stock controller. It was way too basic for a smoker this well-built—definitely the "weak link" in the setup. I swapped in the FireBoard Pellet Drive, and the installation was surprisingly...

Congratulations, Looks awesome!

Sometimes the best thing about BBQ is the leftovers! I always look forward to Brisket Chili almost as much as the Brisket itself. This past weekend I smoked a Pork Belly and last night we had the best BLT's I have ever had. What are some of your leftover favorites?

That looks awesome, I'm sure it was as good as it looks. You can never go wrong with literally anything from Weber.

The first cook was an absolute success. I also got the smoke cage with it and I've never saw this kind of smoke ring from a pellet smoker.

It's the 2000. When I saw how much room it had my decision was made.

I decided to go with the Pitts & Spitts. I think I'm going to be happy with it. Plenty of room for large cooks.

A warming oven is a must. Not just for holding Brisket but sides as well. It makes timing of everything much less stressful or even possible. When I lived in Houston there was a place to rent them. When I moved I bought one of my own.

I agree. I am hoping some folks that own some of these will chime in. I have a favorite that I'm leaning toward but for this kind of money I want to be sure.

I want more capacity mainly and the issue I had with the Masterbuilt was having to add chips. The high end models have a bigger fire box and use chunks so you can just load it and walk away. I'm all about simplicity.

I currently use a Pellet Smoker and I have been shopping for a High End model to replace my Pit Boss. The high end (Lone Star, Pitts & Spitts, Yoder) is pricy so I've researched it to death before pulling the trigger. My wife made a comment the other day though that caused me to rethink the...
