Just finished them this morning

Nice work Ramball!

Those look great Ramball. Are you building your own feeder box and setting up you own logic control?

When I was talking about cleaning its due to the grease in the bottom. Not the cabinet itself.

I stopped smoking years ago

Anyone have a Z grill, thoughts on this brand?

If you go Pellet RecTec is the way to go, best pellet smoker for the price by far.

I just saw in person the new Masterbuilt Gravity Feed smoker and it's legit. It's in your price range, easy to use and gives a better smoke flavor than a pellet grill will.

My brother has had one for about a year, loves it so far.

They have a coupon code that makes them as cheap as I've seen

ZG35OFF

this one has my interest peaked. best of both worlds.

I love this thing. Fill it up and walk away.

Pit Boss 820 $500 but you can catch them on sale for $400. I wrap foil over the drip dome under the grates and just wrap/toss it after the cook. No messy cleanups. They also make foil inserts for the drip bucket so you can just toss with no messy cleanup as well. Cooks like a champ. Drip dome slides over in the center to allow you to sear meat where needed. Holds temps great, no babysitting. Just load the hopper with pellets and fire it up. I use the Pit Boss competition blend pellets for red meats and their Fruit Blend Mix for pork and poultry.
