Believe Smith Wesson is a Traeger.

That is correct they just have the S&W logo. I ran into a very nice couple at the Windsor VT contest last year that cooked on them and was trying for a sponsorship. Nice looking smokers. Compare with the Traeger you may save a dollar or two.

The S&W is a Traeger. Sam's Club sells them online.

I have two Louisiana's - I have a greenwood "Louisiana Grill" model. (If you search on that you will find specs, pics, etc.)

I am also cooking one of Louisiana's "Country Smoker" line, which competes with the Traegers. I have a "Whole Hog" model that I am using in competitions for my ribs and chicken. I love it. If you do a search on Country smoker, or CS-450, I have a good comparison of the two out here.

PM me or email me @ [email protected] - and I would be happy to send you the entire commentary:-D

I love my cs570, super easy to use and everybody loves the q that comes off of it! I can get over 6+ hours between refills also.

They make a hopper extension for the pellets that will hold 35lbs for 50.00 is what the gal told me when I was talking to her. Have you ever loaded it up with butts and how many did you get in it out of curiosity.

Never realy loaded it up, but I have done 2 butts 3 racks of baby backs and 3 fatties at the same time with plenty of space to spare. I bet if I were to try I could get 10 or so on there pretty easily.

I think you could make one or have one made for cheaper. If that is an option, get the grill first and then consider doing your own extension.

Seems to me that someone won 1st place chicken at the Great American BBQ contest out of about 230 teams the first time they cooked on it. :wink: :eusa_clap

Oh, yea... forgot to mention that. If stuff like that matters to you, when making a cooker decision, 1st place ribs in marysville, and several top 10's since then using it also. Most recently a 5th in chicken and 6th in Ribs at Cameron. I think it cooks GREAT.

Of course, some folks might think it was the rub that played a large part in the chicken scores/wins... <yardbird rub plug mod>
