Hello,
Intro,
My wife and I recently retired from active duty military and are looking forward to starting a new chapter where we can spend more time in the states with family.
To the contributors of this site,
I've been following the site for some time, but this is my first post. I want to thank all the folks contributing to this site, as your efforts have greatly improved my understanding and skills of outdoor grilling selection, techniques, and recipes. Because of the lessons/techniques, I learned here, my family and I have enjoyed many outdoor BBQ/Cooking events.
Question to the community
I have a Backwoods G2 Chubby Smoker, XL Big Green Egg, and a Masterbuilt electric smoker. I'm looking for a new addition that allows for high temp grilling with controlled temps and a simpler/smaller smoking option. My thought is a Primo Oval Ceramic Grill. So something versatile. Thoughts?
-The Backwoods G2 is excellent, and I use it for meats 15 pounds or more (i.e., 2x 20lb+ briskets, six whole chickens, two turkeys). I use it for those extended, low temp smokes for lots of meat...and it has never failed. I've had the smoker for nine years, and it performs without fail. My only Con would be it's set for lots of meats for big groups...not really a con as that was in the product description.
-Big Green Egg XL is excellent, and I use it for 2" steaks to chicken. I've had the Egg for eight years, and it also performs without fail. I must admit I mainly use it for steaks or foods that require a sear. My only Con is that it's challenging to set up for indirect grilling when cooking multiple items and just grilling for two.
-Masterbuilt electric smoker is also excellent, and I use it solely for smoking my homemade sausages and deer hot links. Its tall capacity allows me to hang my sausages, allowing for full heat/smoke vs. placing them on a grill. No complaints, as the family has been happy with everything I've pulled out of this smoker.
I fully appreciate and respect the breadth of opinions and expertise on this site.
Thank you
Joe W
