I have the Big Green Egg and love it. I've smoked pulled pork a few times for 12+ hours. There are other similar ceramic grill/smokers (Primo, Komodo, etc), but the Egg has a big community and lots of "egg'cessories" ;) They're pretty big in the south (started in Atlanta), but people from other areas aren't too familiar with them. Maybe not as good as Chuck's $9k smoker though ;) Mmmm, meat On Sat, Jul 18, 2015 at 12:20 PM, Lewis Bergman <[email protected]> wrote: A friend of mine is pretty big into smoking and he likes that egg thing.

I've been into smoking for a while, been smoking ribs, sausage and chicken on a cheapo, thin, Home Depot smoker for a few years. They turn out pretty good, but it's an all day affair of babysitting and hoping the weather is OK. I've been looking at some higher end smokers for a while and I'm torn between something like http://www.yodersmokers.com/ys640-pellet-grill.html and http://www.ssomd.com/backwoods-smoker-chubby, the biggest differences between them being one uses pellets and one is charcoal. I've always used charcoal but the convenience of the pellet smoker is pretty appealing to me as well. I've been reading reviews online and I've had a hard time finding info that seems unbiased, there's a lot of people against pellets on principle and a lot of people for them purely for convenience. Most of the BBQ forums are pretty religious places (in terms of their preferences.) The other problem is that, even if I pick one, there's tons and tons of manufacturers out there, and if I'm even going to remotely consider spending $1K+ on a smoker, I want it to be the best. So, anyone out there with experience with any of these types of units?
