Greetings everyone - got Meathead's book for Xmas and finally got around to joining the site. I live right smack dab in the middle of Chicago - surrounded by honking horns and skyscrapers and am lucky enough to have a decent enough sized back patio to do some real outdoor cooking.
Originally with a Weber Genesis Silver, but a few years ago, picked up a medium Big Green Egg. Original plan was to keep the Genesis for convenience, but after 2 years of not touching it again, decided to give it away to a friend.
Only problem with the BGE is the size and made it difficult to do larger cuts for long cooks (stuffed a few 12-13lb briskets on it, but tough to do...)
So now in the market for a pellet smoker and am going a little nutso trying to decide - Rectec v Yoder v Mak 1 v Blazn' Grill Works v GMG v Traeger. Every time I think I've set on one, I read another review that sways me a different direction.
Biggest problem I think is gonna be delivery and figuring out how to get whatever I decide on up a narrow staircase, through my place back to the patio.....
Looking forward to some good cookin' this summer!
