Some of you may remember that I had to sell my Stumps XL Baby and my Stumps Classic recently due to my divorce. That was certainly a sad day and just added to the misery of the entirety of it all.
The good news is I'm looking at new houses and will likely have a new home... on my own... in a few months. I wanted to take time to decide what, where, and how I want to live and I think I'm starting to get that settled slowly but surely. The one thing I do know is that I want to get back to grilling and smoking like I used to. I don't think I want to go back to the world of giant 600lb smokers anymore, however.
I was went to ACE hardware yesterday and the Weber guy was there talking to a couple employees going over the Smokefire EX6 Gen2. I think that's in my future. I remember dismissing it originally due to all the issue, but it seems the Gen 2 has resolved them mostly and I've read nothing but pretty good reviews. I'm gravitating towards liking the idea of simplifying things and this fits the bill. I'd like to get down to something like the Smokefire and a traditional pizza oven like the Fontana Mangiafuoco wood oven and perhaps even some sort of Santa and some sort of Santa Maria style grill. I know there's overlap... I'm sure the Smokefire will make fantastic pizza for instance, but I always wanted a pizza oven.
Step one is getting a new house... that's in the works... but close after is rebuilding the BBQ experience and I think the Smokefire Gen2 may be the way to go considering what/how I want to do things. Opinions and advice from the hive are always welcome.
