Smitty’s Pellet Pooper Ponderings

I run a griddle topper on my gasser - anyone run a griddle on a pooper.?
 
I purchased a Blazn' Grill Grand Slam from the St. Louis BBQ store last fall. They even threw it a truck, drove it to my house and set it up for me. Love those guys! Put a pork butt on it Tuesday night and it was ready for the cooler the next morning. First time in years I was not falling asleep before the fireworks display on the fourth. Very happy to have pellet pooper on hand.
 
Smitty - Ever think about converting an existing grill or smoker by adding pellet hopper? I have been contemplating it lately. Would be fun project plus I never liked the idea of how close the deflector pan is on a lot of pelllet cookers, frying the bottom of meat from below with too much radiant heat.

Here are a few creative examples. Looks pretty straightforward with Smoke Daddy hopper once you cut the hole.

I don’t have one I’d want to convert.......

I’m digging the PitBoss Copperhead Vertical Cabinet Poopers except it’s PitBoss.
Be Nice to see a Better Brand put one out - except they are Smokers only not grills....

But Wait - I’d forgotten Assassin already Has......sorta - and you can grill on it......

But the pellet grills ain’t much different than a reverse flow offset in terms of the plate and radiant heat........somewhat different as fire is off to the side on offset and fire is under the plate on pooper.

You need that grease slid there, trust me...... fire, grease, and a fan blowing on it won't be pretty otherwise.

You’ve asked that twice now on 2 different threads .....No.
I always have Multiple Cookers/Smokers. Have had up to 10 at one time. I’m Down to 8 unless I count the 2 small portable grills then I’m still at 10. Don’t have to be Bored with One to get another one - Esp One of different Size or Type. Ideally I’d have a Small, Med. n Large of each type........:mrgreen:

Fair enough. You didn't reply in the other thread so I thought I would ask here.

I don't understand the motivation to have that many cookers but different strokes for different folks I guess

It’s a Hobby - trying n learning different cookers. I don’t play golf or video games or computer building - I don’t have motorcycles or Hotrods ( Wish I did ) n other things. Catfish for Bigguns in the Winter, Shoot Guns a lil bit and Cook n Play with Cookers/Smokers........ :mrgreen:

I’d be looking at Pitts and Spitts made right there in Texas, the 850 model is right in that same range

For clarification, is your hobby making BBQ, or collecting cookers?
 
Gotta have different sizes and styles

I have a new Yoder YS640 comp less than two weeks old and am using my El Cheapo stick burner today

They all make the rotation!
 
I had to throw some stars up on this thread. A man bares his smoking soul, he needs stars. Amen
