Pulled the trigger
Since the cook-off incident, I've been missing having a pit on the back porch. I decided on a pellet pooper so that I can experiment more than, due to ease and wife-pleasing (she loves the results, but hates the time it takes to use the offset).
Well, I found a deal on the one I've been eyeing. Field and Stream (Dicks Sporting Goods, I guess) had the Camp Chef DLX on sale for $100 off. Signed up for e-mails and got another 15% off.
Now, the waiting begins!

Re: Pulled the trigger
Thanks y'all. The bride can be a little, ah, persnickety when I cook. She likes to eat BBQ but not put up with everything that goes along with it.
This seemed like a workable middle ground. We'll have to see.
Didn't feel like using any of the discount I got on shipping, so I took the free shipping option. Should be here in 10 days or so. Thing I like about this particular model is that it has an ash cup so you don't have to take the guts out to clean it, and it has clean out for the unused pellets.
Time will tell how well it works.

Re: Pulled the trigger
After you use it, if you decide you need more smoke flavor and start thinking about one of these

Re: Pulled the trigger
Welcome to the club 1911.
Once ya get the hang of a pellet cooker your stick burners may just grow cob webs.
For more smoke I use the amazing 12" smoker tubes.They take up a lot less room on the grille. They'll run about 4 hours. I actually have 3 of them. When one runs out I'll just fire up another one.
I've also ran a couple at a time.
You can also run Mojo bricks on top of the deflector plate for added smoke flavor.
Good Luck
Bill

Re: Pulled the trigger
I appreciate the advice. One of the things for me about this grill was they have some options that others don't. They have a "High Smoke" option which cooks at 225 (allegedly) with increased smoke when compared to the actual temp settings on the dial. If that makes sense.
Time will tell!

Re: Pulled the trigger
You're gonna love it.
Been pellet cookin' for most of 20 years now and other pits have come and gone but I still have my original Traeger plus a couple others.
I don't really get the "not enough smoke" argument, Although I've tried supplemental smoke devices just for grins, they only get used for cold smoking sausage and cheese and such.

Re: Pulled the trigger
Papa Tom has always been my go to Guru ever since I got my Pit Boss Pellet Grill and, once I started doing things the correct way, I've also found there was NO SMOKE FLAVOR LACKING in my Cooks as long as I used the Smoke setting for what it was meant for "adding Smoke flavor" which is low and slow. I'm sure most of them are different but yet the same.
