Has anyone had any experience with the Louisiana Grills Vertical Pellet Smoker, or any vertical pellet smokers. The Louisiana Grill is on sale at local Costco for $500. I've Google searched it, and this model appears to be new since I can't find too many reviews. Thanks.

Can the probe location be moved?
The size is what attracts me. I think a full size hotel pan will fit in it.
It is also supposed to be fully insulated which is a big plus for a long smoke. Like all pellet smokers I'm assuming the smoke would have to be supplemented. Over the years I've been through several MES and what they are pushing now is junk. The first one was great but then they put in smaller elements, smaller smoke chambers and crappy electronics. I'm tempted to refurbish my original case with off the shelf stuff and make my own.

Here is a vertical pellet smoker from a more respected name (Camp Chef):
That one has room for up to 8 14" x 21.5" racks. The racks themselves may be a little smaller than on the Costco unit, but sometimes it pays to go with a company that you can deal direct with, versus someone making stuff to be sold only through a box box store like Costco.

I have the Pitboss 4 series from Lowe’s (similar but smaller size). I love it. Temps do swing without a PID mod but it cooks good food which is what matters. Long smoke pulled pork this weekend. I’ve done tri-tip on it and chicken. Both came out nice.
Does it need a PID? Probably. But it is a well built unit and while not a Camp Chef, Pitboss customer service is good. My first unit was damaged from Lowe’s and they offered to fix it by sending me a new unit or take it back to Lowe’s. I took it back since that was faster and got a new one.
Easy to to set up and use. I find it my go to smoker now instead of my gasser.
YMMV but that is my experience.
