Looked at one of them before I decided on the WSM. 16 inches on a
side is not a lot of space. Can't imagine fittin a packer cut brisket
or a good sized slab of ribs in one.

Don't know much about it, but have seen them in the store. They look
nice, but looks don't cook. I thought the quality was lacking some.
They say it is made of Heavy Gauge Steel, but the WSM is made of a
Heavier Gauge.

Stay with your recommendation on the WSM.

My Dad was thinking of getting this cooker and I did some research on
it. Yahoo groups has a group just for this cooker and is quite
active. The only real complaint I have read about this one is that
the legs have become loose on a couple over time. The group has tons
of pics in action too. I have no experience with this cooker or the
WSM. Just letting you know about the Yahoo group I found while doing
the same thing for my Dad.

I've had one for over a year. It does everything that I've wanted it to.
I've done pork butts for pulled pork, beef briskets, ribs, chickens, pork
loins, bratwurst, and prime rib. Never had a problem. I put a better
thermometer into the door. It holds the temp perfect, without any messing
with it. I put the butts on and go to bed. Anyboby having trouble with the
legs just didn't put it together right!!
To sum it up, I love it!!! :-)

This one caught my eye quite a while ago. But $700 including shipping it
is a bit rich for me.

Are Great Outdoors Grills being made anymore? Their site has been down for
a while http://www.gogrills.com/ at least for me. The parent company CFM
doesn't show them anymore. I may just not be finding them tho... This
Summer in an Agway, I saw what I thought was a GO 6000 series grill. Nope
it was a Vermont Castings labeled one. VC are also owned by CFM.

I have one that I have been using for over a year now. Works great. I am
happy with it, with just a couple of modifications:

1. Put a better thermometer on the door.
2. Change the woodchip box that comes with it, to a small cast iron dutch
oven. Work tremendously better. The wood chips flame up rapidly with that
box. I took mine out and bought a samll dutch oven. Put in chips or
chucks, put lid on it and place it in the same rack that held the chip box.
Smokes for hours.

3. Get an extra LP tank. Nothing worse than running out of gas in the
middle of a project.


I use this smoker as well as a Big Green Egg. Got tired of running out of
gas.
