So last week I was battling some shoulder problems, and I realized that I am old now (I knew it, but I guess I didn't. When I went to the orthopedist he asked what I did to the shoulder, and I told him I turned 61). I had a brisket that I have been trying to get around to, but with the shoulder acting up, I just didn't have the energy to set the WSM or the kettle up. And I got to thinking - if I had a pelleteer, I could just put it on, set it and forget it. So I talked with the boss, and she agreed that if I got rid of one, I could get another. So I am THINKING about replacing my 18" wsm with either a Grilla Alpha or a Grilla Silverback Alpha. The price is something I can handle, and I have talked to the Grilla guys a couple of times about the Chimp (which I will have to forego - I wanted one for the RV, but I'll have to keep the Traeger Scout under this spousal agreement) and I really like them. As an added plus, they are in my home state of MI.
This is tough - I have owned a wsm for the last 15 years or so. I love the little guy. But I have a kettle/sns that I use more than I use the wsm now. I pretty much just use the wsm for brisket and turkey at this point.
I know some of you guys have these cookers; what do you think the pros and cons are? I have read through the threads, but I'd like to hear them again. Of course, I am so slow that it will be months before I pull the trigger, if I ever do lol.
Thanks in advance. And no, HawkerXP, the pbc pbc pbc is not in the running right now lol
