Hey fellas, thanks for all the responses. Let me address some of your questions and concerns.
Budget? Roughly $600
How many you are likely to cook for? Typically I cook for 6-8 people. But several times a year I cook for 20 or 30.
Set and forget or tend often? It doesn't matter to me. I like the science behind things (I'm an engineer). Even if it's set and forget, you bet I'll be out there tending anyways.
What do you like to cook? My favorites are really, what I would consider, the norm. Pork Butts, chicken, wings, meatloaf. As fuzzydaddy mentioned, I just finished my first brisket cook last week. I'm a big hunter and almost always have wild game in the freezer. I host an annual wild game dinner at my house for friends and family and share in the bounty from the year. I'm looking for new menu items every year and would love some insight there. This is why I've joined the pit.
As far as my current vertical propane smoker goes, I don't really have any problems with it, until I try to shove a whole brisket in, or hang sausages/jerky. I'm kind of a trinket type person and am always looking at getting something new/different.
