In an attempt to resist the temptations to buy a RecTec, Traeger Ironwood, Grilla, etc. before the Weber comes out and we get to see all the details, I picked up a Camp Chef SmokePro STX from eBay for $259. That's crazy for a pellet grill. Hopefully, I can resist the desire to buy a bunch of accessories for it since the plan will likely be to resell it next Spring.

22" Weber Kettle w/SNS, 18" WSM, Bronco, Grilla Chimp, Traeger Tailgater, UDS, Camp Chef Tahoe Stove.
Resistance is futile. But good pick up. I really want a Grilla Chimp so I can have something portable, but life keeps getting in the way. Plus I have a Traeger Scout that won't die (but it is only a little over a year old).

That’s what I thought. With the ash clean out I might really like it even though it’s kinda ugly looking. Who knows, maybe a searbox and a blanket and keep it a while, we’ll see. I was thinking about a PitBoss vertical for something different but didn’t find any deals and stumbled across this looking for those.

glitchy, the ash clean out claims for the Camp Chef is nothing more than advertising hype. I bought the Woodwind SG last February and absolutely love it, but the smoker body still fills up with ash after every cook and needs to be vacuumed out at least every 2 or 3 cooks. The ash collection cup has NEVER had more than a half a cup of ash in it after a cook. The other 99% of the ash is in the bottom of the body. Just thought you should know.

Got it yesterday, assembly was pretty easy, roll it over ad assemble legs, attach stack and handle, put removable parts in place. 30-45 mins. It was packaged very well, better protection than Weber uses in their packaging. Relatively cheaply made, but was very cheap to buy, seems decent enough quality for price. Did a burn in last night. About 45 mins at 350, 20-30 at 400, then a while at 225. Doing inaugural cook today of 2 Duroc butts.

I pulled the first one (finished picture) at 202 as it was getting really late for dinner. It was OK/pretty good. Even after 30-45 minutes to rest, it didn't pull the easiest in a couple parts of it, so I might have had the probe slightly off where it needed to be. I normally check a few spots with my ThermoPop, but we were starving. Didn't take more pics...because we were starving.
The second one I took off after dinner at around 205. It looked a ton better and pulled much easier. My wife said it tasted better too. That one was all vacuumed sealed up and given to a friend at church and her husband because she had surgery on Monday and I wanted them to have some quick easy meals in their freezer during the recovery.
This is the only cook I've had time to do on Foster so far. I cooked a rack of beef ribs on Sunday, but did those on the WSCG. Sorry, no pics of those either since I got called by work right at dinner time, so I sliced it up and let the girls start eating while I took care of work. They were quite delicious though, when I got to eat about the time the girls were finished.
