This is my third wsm, they last about 6-7 years each. These are great smokers vs an egg or komodo cooker. Seems like some great options out lately

LOVE my pellet grill. easy peasy. Although you will likely want to get one of these for more smoke (if that's your pleasure)

https://www.amazon.com/MAZE-N-Pellet.../dp/B007ROPJ1M. I find w/o the AMPS I don't get enough smoke flavor for my taste. With it it's perfect.

Plus you can do very low temp smokes for burgers and such. Even cold smokes (which I haven't messed with yet)

I'll smoke fresh ground burgers at 160-180 degrees for a few hours (until they get to 125) then sear for smokey juicy perfection.

Burning piles of brush. Cutting trees. Clearing a new field. Worked on the diesel tractor. Working on the brush mower, lawn tractor, lawn mower. It never ends. I haven't even started on the 6 chain saws.

Fortunately I have a 1/2 cord of dry wood in the big garage so I light the stove, put on sports radio and work indoors, sometimes all day.

No boat, back in the suds.

I use this in my electric smoker, it’s what allows me to smoke overnight.

So you put this thing, with pellets in it, inside the cooking chamber? And that gives a more smoky flavor than just using pellets in the firebox?

I've heard that pellet grills fall a but short on smokiness, but Weber is saying (of course) that their pellet grill solves this.

Yup exactly. The pellets in the firebox burn pretty cleanly since it's forced air induction. You light the tray, let it burn for 20-30 min, then blow it out and it smokes for a good 10-12 hours when fully loaded.

Spent today going thru every miscellaneous cubby, draw, box, can, shelf and organized tools, nuts, bolts, screws, I’m running out of “fun” haha stuff to do on these rainy days. I don’t think I’ve ever been this far ahead on inside and outside work before April rolls around.
