After reading reviews here and research for over a year, I finally purchased a Blaz'n Gridiron from a local dealer here in Central La last Thursday.
I've been looking to get into the higher end of the spectrum of pellet smokers and move on from my small GMG DC grill. My DC worked well but it was limited in what it could do due to size.
The thing is built like a tank. So far the two cooks I've done on it have gone well. One of the things I will be using it for is bringing it to the two or 3 cooking comps I participate in a year with my team from work. Monday night, I did a test cook for ribs using my competition method and the ribs came out perfect (even better if that is possible! :mrgreen:)
One thing I was really impressed with was how quiet the auger is. Coming from the DC where you could hear it from 3 houses down the lane, I couldn't even hear it when doing the initial prime procedure. If I had not been looking at it turning while priming it, I would not have believed it was actually on.
Here is a picture of it during the burn in procedure.

Overall, I am really pleased with the purchase. I've got an order in with Tim for the additional shelves and will be testing them out when they come in. I'll be trying out pork belly this weekend and making PB Burnt ends.
