I want my smoker to look like a smoker

[pjtexas1]

Smitty and all these pellet threads have me wanting a pellet grill. Seems like some of the better options look more like a gas grill or a hybrid rather than a smoker. That has me leaning towards Blazn or Rec Tec. Stupid brain of mine...

Anybody else suffering with me? Am I'm just being too darn picky?

Mak would be the only one I'd consider for a pellet.

Function over form for a tool IMO.

So...3 out of 3... looks like I'm just crazy. :doh:

If I were to buy a pellet grill again (which I promised myself I wouldnt do) the Mak grills have always appealed to me most amongst the higher end grills. I'd like to try some food off an FEC-100 too...maybe I have when judging and didnt known it, but I want to knowingly try it.

If you're going on looks Gator makes a pellet burner that looks somewhat like a traditional pit.

I was thinking the Assassin version looks very similar to their regular smokers.

The heart wants what the heart wants.

And we all a little crazy...sometimes anyway.

I'm a "form follows function" kind of guy - but if you can get a pooper that looks enough like a smoker to make you happy, go for it.

If you want it to look like a smoker, glue a poster of the Rat Pack on it. All of those guys smoked, like chimneys.

 

[Stlsportster]

I say just put a split on top of the pellet hopper...then you can pretend its a real smoker.

Kinda like the playing cards in the spokes of your bike so you could pretend it was a motorcycle.

 

[pigville porkers]

Not sure but I think my Rec Tec looks like a smoker to me... or at least it is smoking lol :wacko:

I'd like to have one of these for the weekend trailer/lake.....just seems a little expensive for 15 cooks a year.:sad:

If it produces the same as the Cookshack PG500, they make the best hamburgers I've ever ate. Nothing better than a little flame love on grilling.

If you are at the American Royal this year, stop by Friday evening and visit. I might have a slice of brisket around 6-7PM.
