    Replace three with one?

    I'll be wearing long sleeve shirts for a long time to cover the bruises on my arms. :emoji_sunglasses:

    Replace three with one?

    The griddle would be a nice accessory to have but not a necessity I suppose some clever person (not me) could make one. Floated the trial balloon in front of my wife and she wasn't as enthused as I was (That's an understatement)

    I've been fascinated with the idea of the 800 since I saw that it came with a flat iron grate. But I like size, too and the 1050 has that. They do have the 850 in stock at the Walmart the next town over. Any of them are an expense I have to consider

    Thanks for that info, BBQBird

    Just saw that MB has a 800 series that includes a flat iron grate Can't seem to find any of them and MB has sold out on their site.

    Replace three with one?

    My gas grill is pretty much out of the way so keeping it wouldn't be a problem. The other two sit on my porch and need walked around

    Replace three with one?

    Closest one is 30 miles away Have to see if others in the area have one on the floor PPG1, the Char Griller is $150 less. Not sure about quality of either. I'm 71 and would hope one of these would last me as long as I need one

    Thanks for your thoughts. PPG1, I've seen the CharBroil 980 but the MB seems to have a lower temp setting for colder smoking. Was hoping to put my hands on these but my Home Depot doesn't floor model them and Lowes doesn't have any of gravity hoppers

    On mine, the lid fits poorly and should re-gasket it. Not sure mine is one of Weber's better quality pieces of workmanship

    Replace three with one?

    Thanks in advance for any insights. I am not a "pitmaster" by any one's definition. I grill multiple times a week from spring through fall and do a smoke several times a month. I have a smaller Char-Broil gas grill, A Weber kettle and a Dyna-Glo Vertical offset smoker. Smoking in the Dyna-Glo...

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

    Thanks for the feedback, mcokevin. I'm still in the impulse stage and deciding whether my wife will just freak out or outright kill me.

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

    Just stumbled on this thread after another struggle with my Dyna Glo offset. I'd started thinking about a pellet smoker But those Masterbuilt gravity smokers look pretty cool. Was wondering about how reliable and durable the electronics are Maybe Uncle Joe could send me another stimulus...

    Finally! First smoke of the year.

    Thanks. That makes a lot of sense

    Finally! First smoke of the year.

    Thanks for the explanation. However, in my Dyna-Glo I need to keep things almost wide open to get and keep temps.

    Finally! First smoke of the year.

    Thanks, gmc2003 and Gary. I put the pellets in the smoke chamber because I have a real small firebox. And, it just seemed like a thing to do. Gary, maybe my pellet problem was operator error. Probably didn't let them burn enough or get them started well enough

    Finally! First smoke of the year.

    That is correct. I wanted to slice it and I got tired of waiting for it to go higher. I had planned on about 6 hours based on what I read but it was starting to get late and the troops were hungry and restless

    I do it because the gurus do it

    It was pretty tasty. Would have liked to have had a crisper bark. How important is wrapping?

    Thanks, JC. Sounds smarter than my way

    Finally! First smoke of the year.

    Second year smoker who has been champing at the bit to smoke something but work has kept interfering with the important things in life to an alleged retiree. Yesterday the moon and stars aligned and I was able to fire up the Dyna-Glo and smoke a 3-4# chuck roast. I tried a different charcoal...
