A friend's new toy...(Anybody else have one of these yet?)
 

A friend of mine who is a recent convert to the passion, the glory
that is real barbecue, (and who has been pestering me for the last two
months for advice on all things barbecue) finally decided on the
barbecue he wanted to buy.

I had loaned him my old WSM (which is now relegated to use when I am
travelling somewhere and want to cook as my Kamados do most of the
work around the house)

At any rate, after much hand-wringing and research he finally decided
on the smoker he wanted to get.

He just ordered a ProQ Excel 20 with a bunch of accessories

Now, as I haven't been in the market for a new smoker, I haven't paid
all that much attention to any new stuff that's come along recently,
but this smoker seems to be the WSM equivalent to the Komodo-Kamado
line...in other words, someone came along, saw what one company was
doing, looked at the feedback and user requests for improvements and
then made their own version incorporating a lot of the things the
users wanted to see.

Anybody else seen or used one of these yet?

Impressions?

I don't have one yet but as soon as I find a dealer here in Toronto
I'll buy a stacker for my WSM.

"65lbs cooking capacity (do up to 8 whole chickens at a time)."

8lb chickens?

And still not big enough to do a 14lb packer cut

You be talking about the Mathew L. Martin. I believe he went on
to a WSM x2. Also he was renowned for his ability to pack
rediculous amounts of meat into his rig(s) at one time. Too bad
I lost my archive. I used to have pictures of all his rigs.
