Settling on a Rec Tec Trailblazer vs Stampede.
I already have a big stick burner that I use all the time, a 18" WSM with minimal use, and I kind of want a set it and forget it for the times I don't want to poke a fire for 14 straight hours and smell like a firepit.
It's just my wife, me, and my 2yo to feed off of this grill. Bigger cooks I can use my others. Still though, the trailblazer I'm eyeing because its small in size(something I want in a pellet grill). I've seen a vid of a guy that smoked a 15lb brisket in one so that's the max I would cook in it, or couple of racks, a chicken, a butt, etc. I STILL need room for a smoke tube, so this is a concern.
Anyone with either of these smokers can elaborate on their pros/cons on these? I'd rather get the Trailblazer due to its compact size and it fitting a 15lb brisket but I couldn't tell if there was enough room for a tube smoker for added smoke flavor(I'm used to the stick burner flavor, I know it wont be as much in a pellet but Id like to get as much smoke flavor as possible still).
