The Memphis sold to a nice young couple from Minnesota last weekend. I think they are going to love it having been doing most of their outdoor cooking on a gasser.
I feel a little lacking with no pellet grill after many years of having one. I've done quite a few cooks on the Summit Charcoal now and really like it and haven't really found anything that it doesn't do fairly well. However, I'm really excited to see this Weber SmokeFire. I'm waiting for it to come out to make my final decisions on my next pellet grill. There are just times when it's too convenient to pour in a bag of pellets, turn a dial and wait for dinner. Plus there's a couple things that I've found I do prefer or pellets vs charcoal.
Amazon keeps tempting me with the Cookshack PG500 dropping in price, but I don't desire direct flame grilled foods off of the pellet grill, so I'm pinching my wallet hard trying to make sure I resist. If I don't get the Weber, I'm probably going to get a Traeger Ironwood. I'm still researching a bit on the Rec Tecs though and still want to see some more on the new Louisiana grills founders series. The Pitts and Spitts looks beautiful, but seems a bit pricey and by time you add $300 for the WiFi, it seems a bit high for what I want to spend this go round. I've seen and really like the Broil Kings too, there's just not enough information about them out there to get a feel for how well they really perform.
If I could design my own, what I think I really want though is a Traeger Bronson 20, with those bigger angled legs that also fold like the tailgater, along with all the new WiFi D2 controller, auger, etc. Something just big enough to cook a packer or couple butts easily, but moderately portable.
