Pellet Smokers

[Bothun]

Looking at upgrading from my Masterbuilt electric to something bigger. Looking to spend around $1000. What's the best for the money?

I have a Traeger and am impressed with it. From smoking to grilling, it seems to do it all. That said, for steaks, I would rather do those on the Weber kettle, just for the charcoal flavor and high/searing heat. Traegers don't get hot enough to sear a steak.

Green Mountain Grills Jim Bowie Wifi model looks pretty sweet. Been drooling over that one, but I don't see it in my future

Had two Tragers and switched to a Memphis grill. Made in Minnesota, all stainless steel. It will get as High a temp as 650 and will sear a steak well. I used to have a gas grill for steaks only and now have gotten rid of it because the Memphis grill does better and you have wood smoke heat for that taste like no other. It is insulated all around as well so it works way better in the winter and uses less pellets no matter which time of year. I have smoked Briskets, pork butts, goose jerky etc... all the way up to searing steaks. The only issue is the cost is more than you want to spend but you get what you pay for. Good Luck!!

Just looked at the Memphis grills. They are beautiful. To spendy for me though.

I just got a Traeger Tex clone. I love it! I've smoked more meat in the last two months than I have with my weber or electric smoker combined EVER!

Ribs, whole turkey, a turduken, 4 fattys, made my own venison sausages, briskets, and a 4lb venison shank.

I love it!
