Thanks Hawker! I'm moving to DC but I'm a Virginia boy myself. VA will always be home.Comment

So, for the smaller cooks, I'd start with a Weber Kettle and a Slow-n-Sear. Maybe spring for the 26" and SnS XL to give expansion room. This is great for 2-zone cooking and not too expensive as you learn the ideas and try new meats. As you learn what you enjoy, then as you read the reviews on other ways to cook, you can make a more informed decision on spending big.
Don't forget to get good thermometers.Comment

Howdy from Lorton, VA...close, but not too close to DC. You've come to the right place for all things smokin'. Welcome to The Pit!
I've been a pellethead for the past ten years. I totally respect all the stick burners out there, but I'm definitely spoiled by the ease of use and low(er) maintenance needed to produce great que on a pellet smoker.
We're probably overdue for a DVM Meatup.Comment

T-bone - a pellet smoker is what helped me decide to take the plunge! I was cruisin Costco, because that's what the cool kids are doing these days, and there was a Traegar guy in there doing demos. I had never heard of a pellet smoker before and it pretty much blew my mind! I was about to pull the trigger until I calmed down, counted to ten, and considered that I might want to be a little more hands on. Did you use another type before you got yours? Anything you miss?Comment

I started on a cheap pellet grill. Made great BBQ, but it didn't last. I bought a GMG for this year. Love it and it will last. They may or may not have enough smoke flavor for you, depending on what you look for. My wife likes the smoke on my GMG (light) and doesn't like when I "enhance" the smoke. YMMV.Comment
