    I am pretty content with the cookers I have. Every now and then I see or hear about a cooker I would like to experience cooking on, but I wouldn’t call it my dream cooker.

      I am really happy with my current setup.

        If 20 years younger, had more room I might consider a pellet smoker. But the Kettle with Vortex and SnS, the Spirit along with full griddle insert, the PBJ with hooks and hangers and the handy Smokey Joe, I'm all set. And then not in the category but sous vide.

          That is really how I am feeling too.

        Lots of good stuff here. Would love to have an offset in the 24x48-50 size. The LSG adjustable would be super fun too. Of course M&M or Ole Hickory Rotisserie would be cool too. That said would love to add an offset to the arsenal, however, I have a nice smattering of cookers as it is.

          I might want to do an offset like others have mentioned, but that comes with learning how to use it. I just overcame a bit of brisket anxiety so I imagine it would take some time to develop confidence in one of these cookers.

          I’ve been waffling on getting a Weber genesis to replace my current gasser or the Searwood since I don’t currently have a pellet pooper.

            For me, Offsets are like playing golf. Everything else falls away except the moment.

            I do like my Napoleon gasser quite a bit and have had a two Webers. Think the Napoleon might have edged them out. That said, I use my Primo more than anything right now except for really long cooks that I'm paranoid about (cooking for others) then I use the ol' Pellet Pooper.

            I’ve had great luck with two Genesis grills over the years. It’s a solid choice for a gas grill. And I’ve found myself using it more this calendar year, just out of convenience.

          I believe I have all I need in these older years. But one piece of equipment I always wanted was a Hasty Bake. Ever since a guy back in the 90's said it was the best cooker he ever used. Swore by it.

            With the cookers you have, you don’t really need a Hasty Bake. But do you want the greatest do it all machine out there? Heck yeah, you do

          #22
          LSG pellet cooker, that’s what I would add to my current setup.

            This is not a fair question.

            Did you ever have to make up your mind?
            You pick up one Grill and leave another grill behind
            To have MCS is easy but not often kind
            When MCS gets you can't make up your mind?​

            Really like my Yoder how versatile it is allowing me to smoke 365 days no matter what the weather or temps are. If it weren't for the winds and so many dry conditions i would add a Santa Maria Grill.

              I am sure it would just be a small forest fire.. No biggie.

            If I were to add a cooker today it would be a New Weber Gasser. I'm waiting to see what changes the Blackstone/Weber buyout does to their grill line for 2026. The Lonestar El Fuego is really a nice Grill/Smoker too!

              Maybe an LSG Adjustable Charcoal or a KBQ. I'm pretty well set with what I have now. I would only get a KBQ if I get unlimited time along with the money.

                Thinking more about it I have recently said that if i was younger I would build a smokehouse. That would be a great solution for our late afternoon wind issue.

                  I keep waiting for Huskee to call my name for the grand prize so that I can select the Weber gasser. I actually have more smokers/grills than I need. The lastest is the Weber Kamado that I installed onto a stainless steel table, a GMG Jim Bowie that now gets used just for short hot cooks, Blackstone 36 that I never use and actually dislike, OKJ Bronco & Bronco Pro, an abandoned Louisiana Vertical (same as the Pitmaster 7 series) that gets used as a warming box, a Char-griller Akorn, 2 Weber 26in kettles that have the Smoke EZ tube making them into WSM XL that get taken out for the infrequent comp cooks, and a terrible 2 burner gasser that never gets used and, again, Huskee really needs to help me replace. Money isn't the issue, my addiction to having more toys than I need is the issue.

                  Picture for showing off...

                    I can see me and my spouse sitting on the porch, a cold brew in hand watching the view as bbq smoke waffles through the air.

                    tstalafuse my 36 is a shear delight for stirfry, smashburgers, snausages, pancakes n eggs all preceded by a pound of crispy bacon. That thing is amazing at bacon!

                    Alan Brice It just wasn't my jam. I can do the same things on my gas range in the house on a cast iron griddle. For those who love them, good deal and cook on. It just brought back memories for me of working fast food as a teenager, just outside.

                    How can you trust a skinny cook?
                    I mean that's okay, but really?

                  Komodo Kamado. The only reason I don’t have one is that when I had the money available for it, I just couldn’t justify it. I always thought that if I get a windfall, that’s what I would get. But then I got a windfall, and I decided that I would rather have the money, because the food was going to taste the same whether I cooked it in the KK or the BGE. I guess it wasn’t a big enough windfall? Probably that’s it.

                    Probably autumn nebula, and pebble. But a nice dark green pebble finish would be nice, too.

                    Those flat tiles and the metallics, you just know you’re going to pick up reflections. You’ll get that mirrored sun in your eyes.
