Local Academy has several of the new Wrangler II smokers in. Noticed some changes.

Main grate, previous: 17.75 x 26 / new model: 17 x 25
Upper grate, previous: 8.75 x 25.5 / new model: no upper (not on the one I looked in)

Firebox still has the grill grate...didn't measure but appears to be same size: 13.75 x 17. Top of firebox no longer has the hot plate like previous model.

I saw no price, three employees were unable to tell me and they are not listed on the website. Based on what I saw, I imagine it would be less than the Pecos now.

They also had the new models of the Cantina charcoal grill, the Cantina XXL. If anyone is in the market for a beast of a patio charcoal grill, this is the one. Also no price, no help and not on website.

Main grate: 17.5 x 44
Upper grate: 8 x 44
Total cook space: 1100+

Wrangler II IS $299 and the Cantina XXL is $399. I was able to find the last "old model" Wrangler in North Alabama and picked it up for $385. Sooooo happy with it. The pecos is longer but the heavie gauge steel sold me. The wrangler II is along the same lines as the ok Joe. Also the cantina is a great grill so I'm sure the fontina XXL is worth the money if you are looking for a grill to feed lots of folks.
