Ok, I am probably not the first, but I am going to give this a try. A number of reasons …
1. I rarely cook for more than the missus and me these days
2. seems a lot of days it’s just too damn hot or too wet to fire up the Weber or Rec-Teq, and I could run this in the garage
3. All the female relatives and friends do not like a strong smoke profile
4. I’m just getting either older or lazier, or both.
5. Buying direct I get 90 days money back and a 3-year warranty.
6. I’ve spent more in stupider ways/things
So just ordered the Pro Connect XL direct for $360 with a cover, meat hooks, pellets (like I need more
), and warranty.
We shall see … planning test cooks with ribs, wings, burgers, and butt.
If it’s all that and a bag of chips, I may even sell my Performer and RT-590
