    Rebel gravity charcoal smokers

    Hi...I was emailing with Robin and Jeff last night and today, and I see they have a new website up and running, as well as a new, larger size smoker (not at I thought you could go any bigger than the Assassin 28!!!).  They certainly are operational. Eric

    Soren-that's a fancy unit...with the wifi capability.  I wish I had that one, but I only have this one:   https://www.bbqguru.com/storenav?CategoryId=1&ProductId=22

    The guru is a better device overall.  I've been using one of the original ones for the past 13 years on my Primo Oval XL.  My primary one uses analog dials...one for setting the temp and one for setting the meat temp.  It has an LED scale in the middle that lights up next to temp markings...

    Hi Mike...thanks for the "welcome".   I gotta admit, the name does sort of grab you, but I did a lot of shopping last spring and after a few phone calls to the finalists (Stump and Jeff at C & C), I decided the price to value to size ratios, plus the inclusions, like the IQ120, the slam latch...
