    Sounds like a good choice to get to a good price/value!

    Deposit down on the Grillworks. 16 week build time. See you in March. I really liked the AZ BBQ but it was an unknown entity. The Grillworks receives highest praise and has a very good reputation and lifetime warranty. Thank you for all the input.

    I ditched the Brasero so it was actually less than the AZ. ...shipping still sucked.

    If money is not an issue I’d go with your gut. Gotta live life with few (if any) regrets! Good problem to have 😄

    Yeah, I mean the design is pretty simple so I have to think the costs for installing the build in for both are similar, so it’s a question of what you are getting for the extra $$$$.

    The 1000 is a full covered grill not just a frame and moveable grill grate. The better question is what is the difference between that and the Grillworks.

    I agree with Spinaker totally. That has been my philosophy for a number of years now and had been happy with the results.

    What is the difference between this one and the 1000 drop in?

    Only three smokers lol. I love LSG stuff. Just had to narrow it down.

    I took a look at the Engelbrecht as well. Since you have 5 other smokers, I am still not seeing a huge value in the conversion ability. And while looks are in the eye of the beholder, they all look very similar style wise.

    The Braten 1000 series masonry insert wood fired grill, achive exceptional results grilling the way you want. A built in wood burning grill, built to last.


    Have you considered LSG?

    I think the answer is obvious. Buy them all, do videos comparing them on YouTube become famous.

    The Grillworks is nice but just a frame. Super fit and finish no way to use as a regular charcoal grill.

    This is the built in Tuscan. This one is painted I'd get stainless.

    I could add a lid to make it like this one and still have the Santa Maria cooking ability

    That front face drops down to access the fire. With the lid you can use it like a charcoal grill.

    Sound advice. My only other consideration is the ability to add a lid in the future. I do like the Grillworks stuff.

    Grillworks. More pricey and there are extra costs in the crate. But after 10 years when you might have an issue, I doubt you will be thinking about how much the crate and shipping was.

    If you can reasonably afford it, get what you want. At this point in my life, I would get what I want, not necessarily the best deal. To me, there is tremendous value in buying something that is quality, Heavy-duty and carries a warranty to match it. I also like their attention to detail and no nonsense approach.

    If your cons are all price, shipping and a crate.......that will fade with time and in the meantime you have a bad ass rig to cook on.

    I know many will disagree, but for a last grill you will ever buy........get what you want and what makes you happy.
