Time to get a smoker...

The green mountain is great. I smoked a pork shoulder through the snow last night with no problems. The controller is way better. It is all digital with 5 degree increments. I believe a thicker gauge steel is used on the green mountain. Only down side it is a PIA to clean. I got mine at rocky mountain stove in Lakewood. There is also a great bbq shop in lakewood where i get all my pellets. Its called routts or something.

You clean your smoker outside the grill grates, drip pan and pellet area, That's seasoning.

I like the 5 degree increment on the Green mountain vs. the 25 on the Traeger. The green mountain also comes with a remote and an option for wifi so it can be monitored and controlled while your not home. It also has a Blow down feature that sounds nice. I'm working in Fort Morgan for awhile so I'm gonna swing by a shop up here that sells them. Knowing me, I'll probably end up walking out with one then worry about selling the Traeger once I get home.

I have the GMG Davy Crockett. A bit small for most of you but it fits most of my needs and I like the fact I can take it camping or tailgating. The 5 degree increments and ability to run the auger/fan off 12V are really nice.

Cleaning, what's that?

Mainly to clean the left over soot that ends up in the fire box area and any left over pellet dust that doesn't burn which collects under the grates

Oh the stuff my wife does Luckily we have a pellet dump / ash catch. Nice rub BTW on that pork.

Well my pick many moons ago was Cookshack Smokette. Bass-pro, Cabelas , and Sportsmans all carried this thing, but now Masterbuilt has taken over this spot. I call it my "Lazy Man Smoker" as it is electric and wood chunks. This is an amazing smoker with much more inhalation, but they priced themselves out of the market with the mine costing almost $700 now.

This is the one that I'm currently looking at. http://greenmountaingrills.com/produ...lls/jim-bowie/. It's similar to my Traeger but with a few added features that I really like.

Our CC has the shut down feature. Outside some ash in the grill it does a nice job, cool down time is much quicker. Originally it was purchased for me, however the spouse liked it so much it has become "Her Grill".

Jim has pretty much sold me on the Camp Chef. Think I'll pick one up in a few weeks when I get back from vacation.
