Hey Folks!! I'm new around here. Just ordered my model #2 yesterday, and it should be here tomorrow!
For the last 4-5 years, I've been using my propane grill as a smoker by covering up vents and rotisserie holes with foil, and using stainless smoker boxes over the outside 2 burners and placing the meat over the center two burners that are off. While I've managed to make some good stuff like this, I was tired of having to foil up all of the holes in my grill and I know I'm not getting the best quality this way. Since we're moving into a new house, I figured this was a perfect time to upgrade to a proper smoker. I'm still hanging on to the propane grill for when my 3yo wants a hot dog, but considering that every time I fired up the grill, it was typically for a 6-8 hour smoking session, I should be saving quite a bit on my propane usage.
I look forward to talking with you folks here. For now, I'm going to spend the rest of my day at work reading through the forum.
