New Smoker Help

[sgtgeo]

Hello,

Been away for a while.

Currently using a MES electric with the Amazn pellet system. It has the remote to monitor temps etc. it was a big step up from the electric bullet I had before.

It works great but even with the amazn pellet tray I’ve had flare ups all the pellet rows burning etc. also clean up/grease management not so great.

Thinking about a pellet grill. The pellet system just makes sense to me.

So many options out there. Please help me.

Budget $750 max. $500 range better.

I think the grill type seems easier to clean than the vertical type. But I’m open. I have a Weber Genesis LX 2 for direct heat grilling so this is just for smoking Boston butts, chicken, turkey, brisket etc.

Must fit a reasonable (15-18 lb) Turkey. Can be on the turkey cannon type holder. The Traegers and pit boss models don’t seem to have the internal height. GMG? Others?

Thanks
Geoff

I am also looking at pellet cookers and have been doing lots of research on them. This Camp Chef is about your cheapest option, that has enough internal height for a turkey. https://www.campchef.com/smokers-gr...lls-and-smokers/smokepro-se-pellet-grill.html You can up your budget and have more options available.

The Camp Chef SmokePro SG24 does look like a good fit.

Anyone using this model? Compare to the GMG Daniel Boone?

The WSM is sorta, kind of a pellet smoker when using it for cold smoking. :rolleyes:
