    Stoker Or Guru For Wsm's

    I am going to purchase a stoker or guru in the next couple of days and wanted to get some opinions. I want to run my 2 wsm's. Both the models I am looking at can run 2 units (or more). Any help would be appreciated.

    Maverick Et-73

    Hi everyone! I have been using my WSM 22 alot with my maverick ET-73 and have been noticing a big difference in the temp. readings between the maverick and the weber hood mounted thermometer.

    Hickory & Apple Smoked Brisket on the Traeger

    Did you notice any loss of flavor when going to the traeger? I just bought one and really like it, but thought the WSM did a better job with the smoke. What kind of pellets are you using? Thanks! Dan

    Traeger vs. WSM

    I have now smoked baby backs on both my new grills, the Traeger Texas model and my 22 WSM. As much as I liked the simplicity of the traeger, I have to say that my entire family liked the ribs off the WSM better. I used the same recipe and about the same cooking times on both. We all thought that...

    First try with traeger

    Cooked baby backs for the first time on my new "used" Traeger Texas grill and any doubts about this grill were eliminated! A friend of mine who has a lang said he could not believe how well the grill worked, he is now considering on adding one to his collection. I hope to post some pictures in...

    Traeger Pellet Smoker

    I picked up the grill last night. I do have some reservation after looking at the grill. Is this thing really going to give me the smoke flavor that I am looking for? I sure I can always sell the Traeger this summer and get the lang if I don't like it. Do you sacrafice flavor for the ability to...

    Traeger Pellet Smoker

    I just purchased a 22 inch wsm. The next day I was asked by a neighbor if I wanted to buy a hardly used traeger (texas model) grill. Are pellet grills good for smoking? They want $500.00 for the grill, is this a good deal? I can still take the Weber back. The bottom line is should I keep the WSM...

    Change of plan

    I would like to thank everyone who gave me advice over the last couple of days, it was great! My plan was to get a lang or horizon for my first smoker, but I changed my mind and bought a 22 inch WSM yesterday. It was only $400.00. I bought some ribs and brisket and plan on cooking for the first...

    Electric Vs. Wood

    I am getting some great advice! Because I am new to the Hobby, some people think I should go electric. For some reason this does not appeal to me. (I'm not sure why). After all my research I think I have it narrowed down to a lang patio model, or a horizon. From what I can figure the Lang...

    Need Advice

    I am very interested in buying my first smoker, and would like to get a good one. I would like to keep it around $1000.00. I think I prefer wood for my fuel, but am open to suggestions. Thanks!
