Thank you

Looks better than my current solution. Where'd you get that?

That is a damn fine looking shelf!

Franklin's book is a good resource. I also like Steven Raichlen's Project Smoke, Michael Symon's Playing With Fire, and Smoke & Spice by Cheryl and Bill Jamison. Someone recently gave me a copy of Meathead's book and one by Myron Mixon. I have just glanced at both and haven't really given them...

Thank you everyone. After much deliberation I have decided to go with the Rec Tec. It will be a little weird seeing something other than a Weber on our patio, but everyone has that one weird cousin in their family so it is about time one joined mine.

Great feedback everyone. Thank you. MDiBar, I did consider Traeger when I first started looking. I ruled them out due to two old, old being the key word here, high school friends who had Traegers and had considerable issues with them. One ended up with a Rec Tec, the other with a Yoder and...

One other question.... It seems like pellet preference is all over the place. Is there a brand that folks here have been more impressed with than others? My friends seems to be equally divided between Lumberjack, CookIn and B&B pellets as their "go to."

I'm with you when it comes to being in the backyard while I cook. That is quality sunshine and beer drinking time.

Those pics are making me hungry and we just finished burgers.

Thank you for the replies. As to the care and maintenance of the EX6, that isn't really off putting to me. I have a bit of OCD when it comes to my grills, well everything really, so that doesn't bother me at all. The searing aspect of the EX6 would be nice, but I have a couple of 22" kettles...

Believe it or not my wife has been pushing me to buy a smoker. I know, shocking, but we moved cross country late last year and the WSM 22 I've had forever didn't make the trip. Don't worry though, it is in good hands with a friend. So now, with Spring approaching my wife is getting a hankering...

You should be making and selling those shelves. Nothing better than a beautiful, but functional, work of art.

That is beautiful!

I'm showing my wife this thread. She thinks "you've lost your damn mind" because I have 3 kettles, a 22 WSM, a Genesis gasser(5 years old I think), and now want a Smokefire. I keep telling her I need more, but she thinks I'm crazy. Maybe this thread will prove how low key I really am when it...

I'm in a similar boat. I've had a WSM 22 for a long time and have great luck with it. I've been looking at pellet poopers for a couple of years now and was 99% ready to get a Rec Tec RT-700, then the Smokefire announcement came. With that being the case I held off buying anything. When the SF...
