NotIThatLives Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 So what I found out about pellet smokers, they all work about the same. Pit boss actually has thicker steal than traeger. Traeger is just more expensive and was out front in marketing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 We went to Sullivan's Garden 2 Saturday's ago for their annual Big Egg Grill Fest. $40 for all you can eat and drink....70 Big Egg's going at the same time. Great food but no way are they worth the coin. For those ever looking to get smokers on the cheap. Garage or Estate Sales are always a good place too. You'd be amazed what you can find on the cheap in Estate Sales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably some sales at lowes, HD, or menards. Could always get a lowes or HD gift card at kroger/jcay to Jack up your fuel points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in Clarksville with a stuck auger. $100 Happens all the time. Just have to remove everything and suck it out with shop vac, reassemble. But yeah, menards has a very similar to Amazon pit boss. Lowes and HD are selling this with great reviews. 350.

As kind of a hobby slash whatever I always comb facebook market sales or estate sales. So many heirs don't actually know what they have and they just want cash. Easy to use for yourself or flip it for beer $ for the week. I did a quick Facebook marketplace search for Charlestown and this popped up. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/107947562567063/smokers/ Especially in our neck of the woods the deals on patio furniture and grills/smokers is peak this time of year. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try and talk him down to $70-75. My thing.. I have an electric smoker, blackstone, and a regular $60 charcoal grill from Walmart... just don't want to spend much on one of these. Now.. the $350 is a very solid deal, and I for sure might still go for it, especially once I speak to my wife.... That would be the most I want to spend right now, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disassemble the hopper and pull out the auger. Put it back together. 30 mins or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 As we head into tailgate season thought I would share a very simple but honestly really good easy recipe. https://thatlowcarblife.com/keto-jalapeno-poppers/ I make these ahead of time. Set in fridge. Air fryer for 8 minutes at 400. No carbs and very tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
