If you want to stay in the kamado style cooker family, then consider a Big Green Egg XL or perhaps the Primo Oval XL. Both run on lump and give you a bit more room than the Akorn for cooking larger cuts of meat. Stickburners are a whole 'nother game. Lots of options available if you are simply looking for a better smoker/grill that runs on charcoal. One no one has mentioned is Meadow Creek. Look at their pig roaster series. PR36, 42, or 42COMBI.

Hi all,
For the past year I've been using a Traeger century. Wow - I am so dissapointed in the traeger! Happy to expand and discuss if anyone wants to - but never again!
I am close to pulling the trigger on a LSG Pellet grill, are there any of you that have one that I can talk to? I would like to chat with a real owner first!
thanks!

Hi GEON, you may get a better response to this question by creating a new post in the Pellet Cookers > LSG channel here: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...tar-grillz-lsg and asking this question. This topic here is in the Kamados > Akorn topic so your question, specific to the LSG pellet cooker, could easily be overlooked.

Educational Cookbooks (to develop excellent cooking skills)
1. Better Crocker's New Cookbook Newbies (or those who have never had any training) should start here & read cover to cover. You will learn the basics and lay a solid foundation.
2. Joy of Cooking The current 2019 edition is best; Kindle version is very convenient to cook from, but the hardback is bet for reading; the JOC is huge, but time well spent to gain understanding. It will take your cooking skills to the next level. You can refer to it often to compare recipes from other cookbooks and gain insight.
3. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking After the above two books, this will teach you two important skills: (1) how to truly taste foods and (2) how to cook without recipes.
Favorite Specialty Cookbooks
On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen (A great resource and just plain interesting!)
Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling (Meathead's book is second to none. More than a cookbook - it is an education to the art of grilling.)
Japanese Home Cooking: Simple Meals, Authentic Flavors (This is another excellent educational cookbook.)
