You worked for Andes- Roberts Brothers? Wilbur was a good friend. I stayed at his home (no snow) in Grand Cayman several times. I bought and rebuilt many of the homes he built/ constructed from National Homes.
I think I played golf with the guy who owned that bar about 15 years ago. He won lotto and gave it to daughter who crashed the place. |

Whoops they were the developer of many malls we engineered and construction staked. Andes&Roberts were out of the picture by the time we entered the picture. Lakewood Homes Development LLC had taken over after Original Developer went tit up. |

Charbroil grill is starting to break down so I am planning to replace it soon. I also have a cheap electric smoker. I was thinking of going with the Camp Chef Woodwind SG. The rec-tec is a bit out of my budget. Having the sear box on the side would be handy for doing a reverse sear or finishing SV meals. Any experience with this pellet smoker?

I'm using a electric smoker, so its not an apples to apples comparison. But, I'm no rookie. I've been smoking meat for 30+ years. Results were okay. So, I tried it again following some prep guidelines he posted online. Didn't really improve the taste. Matter of fact, the over the counter rub from Costco "Butt Rub" that I gave a shot was better than just salt and pepper. Still like my own rub though. |

My gripe with pellet smokers is I am not sold on the flavor of the smoke. I think it boils down to extruding sawdust in to pellets and pucks. I have tried many kinds but now just stick with Pit Boss competition blend. I like the convenience especially grilling chicken and pork chops. But long smokes I prefer upright box smokers, Offset fuel hogs and my WSM which is simple and works in my opinion hard to beat. |

I have a SmokePro and it eats through pellets like ****ing crazy compared to my other pellet grill. Actually thinking about cleaning it up and selling the dang thing. Some people are happy with them. Really just depends I guess, but there are other brands with more consistent quality. |

https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/ce8...ecc151587.jpeg I have no problem recommending the brand I own a lot of it. Smokevault 24 in gas upright smoker and 36 in flattop grill camp stoves and cookie gear. Its solid stuff seems to me. Like anything as you add bells and whistles up goes the price as should be. I dont own Traeger but my next door neighbor does and he is happy. A co worker friend has a Green Mountain Daniel Boone he swears by. I have looked over Rec Tec and wow heavy construction lots stainless steel in right place just feels like quality. When the Camp Chef poops out that is where id look. |

WM has a PitBoss vertical pellet smoker with a 60 lb hopper. I'd like to **** with that if I ever find it at half-price for low and slow overnight cooks.

About how many dollars' worth of pellets does it take to smoke a whole brisket? I have never used a pellet smoker. Got nothing against 'em.
I"m a confirmed Weber man. Worn out many a grill of theirs. The first smoker I ever bought was a cheapie end-of-season Home Depot special. Ruined a pasture full of brisket being unable to control the fire. Bought the 22" WSM. Did the gaskets and steel door/latch mods. And a Maverick wireless thermometer. I swear. It's like rolling a Yahtzee every time all the time. No desire to enter competitions, but I got a personal blue ribbon from Bob Dole. He said it was the best brisket he ever had. No fair harshing my mellow by telling me he says that to all the girls. If they come out with a smoker that will tell me EXACTLY how long the stall will be of the brisket once I place it on the cooking grate, I will have found the replacement of my WSM. But the parting, I can assure you, will be extremely emotional. I can't stand to see a grown Dinny cry. Dinny |
