I've never seen you post before. :heh:Fairly new, why?
Which leaves me with 2 categories :
High End (for me): picks would be a Mak 1 Star or a Blazin Grill Works Grand Slam or Grid Iron.
Mid Grade: 1st pick RecTec Stampede or Bull. -Better controller, stainless burn pot, shield, grease pan and grates. And their Customer Service Ranks High
2nd pick: Green Mountain Jim Bowie.
Thanks to you Farkers I’ve been eyeballing Poopers on InterWeb, YouTube and Pellet People Forums and have come to some Conclusions.......These are Smitty Conclusions - yours may vary.........
First what I consider Top Tier High End are Out - like Memphis n others are Out. Too High $.
Second - Lower End is Out. Seen too many people replacing controllers on PitBoss, Camp Chef and others due to Large temp swings ( up to 100*), temp overshoots and flame outs. They are replacing them with $200+ PID controllers
And these grills use little to No stainless.

There’re are a couple others that would fall into those two groups but I don’t like them for one reason or another - some I just don’t like how they Look.
So OverAll if I Bumped my Head and went Goofey - I would order a RecTec Stampede with optional top grate and exhaust Vents . $988 to my Door.

Now let’s get back to Gravity Fed and Insulated Cabinet talks.......:mrgreen:
Man that Rec Tec stampede is really tempting for a unit under 1k. I guess I will start saving because I could be smoking today (can’t because of the fire ban). Thanks for the research Smitty! Any others under 1k worth looking at?
I think a UDS Pooper would work but I don't want One for the Same reasons I got rid of my UDS.......I like Cabinet or Grill style better for Access.......
Yeah, I bet grilling on the UPS (ugly pellet smoker) probably wouldn’t work...but this is an option that is half the price of the others.
Don't knock the low end pellet cookers. I got a Pit Boss at closeout price from Wally World. Threw in a savahhana stoker PID and now I have a great little cooker for under $300.
I wasn't sure if I would like pellet cooking so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. It turned out to be a great weeknight cooker. I plan to upgrade to a Smoking Brothers 36.
