Thanks for the info NMeyer. I've very seriously considering one. So serious that I just went out back and looked at my line up to see which one/s are going out. Looking forward to the cook.
I was doing the same. Thinking Blackstone is in the way of where I can put the pellet. Weird thing is I've never had 1 single interest in a pellet cooker. You guys are the worst and best at the same time.
They had several & a display unit at my local Costco when I was there today (San Marcos, CA). Very impressive cooker.
So yesterday when i was doing the initial burn in at 450, i noticed that temps right at the grate were spot on, and up on the middle shelf it was about 25 deg hotter. The chamber to the right showed about 50 deg less and i saw 150 deg less in the upper chamber.
Now, that was with everything wide open. I will document the temp swings tomorrow when i do the first fatty 's. I will do one in the main and one in the right lower chamber.
Hey neighbor I'm in Jurupa Valley. Anyway, is it at the Rancho Costco?My wife gave me the pass to get this smoker. Problem is, it weighs 472 lbs. No idea how I'm going to get it home much less off the truck.
here are a few pics with different size hotel pans.
you could get 2 shallow pans on the bottom rack in the main chamber, with use of 1 or 2 shelves on top of them. depending on the size pan, you could get a few of them in the vertical cabinet.
Available between about 10-20 miles in any direction from work of home. :clap2:
Off tomorrow so I'm going to check it out and if I like I will pick one up.
