Hello everyone! I think I have read this forum for a few years, not sure why I never registered. I am a Chef at a small, farm-to-table restaurant in Bangor, ME. I started smoking food about 3 or 4 years ago using my cheap can cooker. Can't even remember the name, but its a $50 WSM knockoff. There were tons of posts about mods and I was able to get it to work well enough. Last year it suffered a tragic bulldozer death and I just picked up a Pit Boss Austin XL. I found one at the local walmart with the box almost falling off of it. After making a couple jokes about how no one wants that one I offered to take it off their hands if they gave me a discount. So, I got it for a little over $400. I look forward to learning from the experience on this forum, and hopefully I can get what I need out of this pellet smoker. So far, I have just grilled some burgers but will be cooking a 5 course menu later this month that will feature BBQ styles from all over the world.
Thanks again for all the great info!
