I do t know how that happened. Text body didn’t make it.

If bad leads to worse you could always go back to charcoal. Lol!

$350.00 seems highuntell you look at the price of the professional competition grill smokers... Wow!

And that's for a stick-fed smoker. It is custom built, though. Yoder makes some nice stuff. Here's their top-of-the-line pellet grill.

I bought a pellet grill from this company:

https://memphisgrills.com/

Designed, built and shipped from their factory in Minnesota. When I ordered mine I called to check on it, and they rang me through to the production supervisor. He'd just come out of a meeting, and confirmed they'd be running my model later that week.

Holy Smokers! Unless I'm reading wrong, their cheapest pellet grill is over $1200!

That's out of my price range. I'm sure the thing does a great job. I'd bet if you had a problem
they'd just fly one of their techs to your back yard to fix it!
