I’ve had an MES and now use a WSM 18.5” with a FireBoard and put viper fan.
I don’t like the cleanup and setup time associated with the WSM, but I love that it’s set and forget with the FireBoard.
I also have a Weber propane grill, but I’m looking towards something that can do it all.
I don’t do pork at all (allergic, it’s a shame I know!) so the only long cook would be an occasionally brisket once a year. I’d mainly buy this for chicken, and the ability to get it up to temps high enough to crisp the skin would be great. I also want something with relatively easy cleanup and quick setup/shutdown times. If I could cook my burgers and steaks on it, ultimately replacing my Weber propane, even better!
I’m looking at the recteq bullseye and the master built gravity feed 560…also possibly the grilla chimp, so keeping it under $500 would be great.
bullseye seems to check the boxes but I don’t think it has wifi. However if I use my FireBoard then I don’t need wifi on the grill. The grease problems scare me off a bit but Riot mode seems to take care of that-not sure how it would do on the longer cooks though. I also do wings with a marinade on them that can get sticky so I dunno how it would handle that.
the master built seems great, but I dunno how long it takes everything to cool down or the cleanup associate with it.
the grilla seems like a pellet grill, so I dunno if it would get hot enough and I’d probably keep the Weber for most hot cooks.
