    Pellet Smoker Bland Compared to old WSM

    I have always used a WSM for smoking food until I purchased a Reqteq 590 in November.

    So Many Brands...Which one to purchase?

    Thank you for your time posting. I have to agree....I do not like the legs and wish they had casters on the hopper side. I will definitely need to look at the side attachments.

    So Many Brands...Which one to purchase?

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this. This really helps a great deal when looking at all of these options. I cannot agree more with the over smoked meats LOL. I like smoked food, but I want to taste the food, not the lumber.

    So Many Brands...Which one to purchase?

    Thank you....I would like to stay around $800 - 1000, but am a little flexible. Want it more for smoking than searing, but searing would be nice, just not needed.
