Hello from sunny Arizona

[Kelvins13]

Previous long term user of a Weber Smoky Mountain cooker converting to pellet grill for ease of use. Primary uses to include chicken, fish and pork (bacon included) due to dietary concerns - it comes with age. I love the smell of bacon in the morning.

Convert but don’t leave entirely the WSM. Welcome, eat good and have fun!

[Kelvins13]

Haven’t left the smoker completely, just having fun learning the pellet grill. So far using it for bacon, jalapeño poppers and shotgun shells. The Weber will come back into play for pork ribs and pulled pork. Meanwhile, it’s hot out there! Thanks for the welcome.

I love the Tucson area in the winter. Doesn’t get any better than that. I can’t stand it when the high for the day is 15 to18 degrees. I would almost take 105 degrees any day. I can take my 5 mile walks in 100 degree weather but when it’s 20 degrees I can’t walk 2 miles.

Welcome to the Pit from the Florida Suncoast. Try to stay cool. Summer will end at some point…probably.

welcome from the Land of Enchantment!

Welcome to the Pit from Dallas, Texas! We are doing 107, but we hear you have that beat. In that heat your pellet smoker can keep you inside.

[Kelvins13]

Thanks for the welcome and staying inside is definitely a bonus with the pellet grill.

Welcome to The Pit.

Welcome from the northern Virginia burbs of the nation's capital! Hope you survive that brutal heat out there... that heat dome is set to expand back into AZ and SE CA in the coming days.

I started the smoking thing only two years ago, and my first cooker is a vertical pellet smoker (not a grill), and I love it. Also use a SnS kettle and Weber gasser, which covers the waterfront pretty well for me. You're in the right place to learn, this is a fantastic community!

[Kelvins13]

When I lived in Westridge/Lake Ridge VA I had a Weber gas, Weber Smokey Mtn and Weber kettle so smoking not new to me, just pellet grill is.

Welcome from north Texas. We’re having record highs, too. Have fun on the Pit.

[Kelvins13]

Thanks, you too!
