What say you farkers?
I want one of these fancy new devices, but I want to be able to produce pronounced smoke too. I have a Weber gasser, and in an ideal world, the new purchase would replace that.
Here are some pros/cons I've gathered:
Woodwind Pro:
Pros - Can crank up smoke. Ease of use.
Cons - The wife won't like the price. If going to use as regular grill, would like a higher sear temp without having to spend more $ on the side sear station.
Masterbuilt 800:
Pros - Smoke. Flat top.
Cons - I saw a biscuit test which suggested lots of hotspots. Also claims of grease issues/flare ups. Small base cooking area (even on the larger model.)
Chargriller:
Pros - Seems to have more even heat and addresses many of the Masterbuilt problems.
Cons - I've seen videos claiming very poor quality. One video showed the thing wobbling whenever it was touched.
In the end this is about ease of use and taste. All thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.
