I got one of these things a while back and liked it so much I bought 20 of 'em on a larf. Been handing 'em out to friends and, really, anyone who sufficiently impresses me. Gave one to a waiter the other day after talking BBQ with him. Suffice it to say he was surprised.

It works impressively well and after over 100 days of hard use is still going strong. It holds a decent sized pork shoulder or enough ribs to feed 4 normal people. I've gotten into mesquite smoking lamb ribs after trying some at the legendary Jack Stack BBQ in KC (I think that was hickory, tho) and wolfing 'em down either straight up or adding to a green chile or adobo stew. I've never had meat so tender, flavorful, and succulent. I'm plenty fine with pork, but the lamb blows it clean out of the water.

Considering how much money it's saved me now that I almost never patronize others' BBQ, I'm still way ahead of the game even after giving away a bunch of 'em. The $10 big bags of pellets from Thugmart work great with it. Power use is almost nil after initial ignition, which can be done manually if power is an issue.

I love ribeyes, so I'll get that thing smoking real good at low heat, hammer the steaks for a half hour or so, and finish up in a near red-hot cast iron skillet. The result is so good it defies description.

Lock the buckles, grab the handle, and it transports with delightful ease. I drive an overland expedition vehicle that was once my favorite machine on Earth. This little smoker has booted it from the throne at about 1/225th of the cost. All hail the new king!

Considering that it's written and almost certainly silent, that's quite a feat.

Do you think that about all the product reviews on here (of which there are MANY), or just, for some reason, mine.

I'm retired since age 38 and day trade stock for about two hours a week for an especially good living. I'm in no way affiliated with anyone who sells anything.

I would bet the farm that if you and Myron Mixon competed, and you let him use whatever smoker, wood, meat...etc. he wanted...you would rate his final product as being significantly inferior to your pellet smoker grub. Heโ€™s just a hack.

Had to look that one up. LOL!

Nope, not a ghost, but that just ghost to show ya.

If'n ya likes restaurant-quality smoked meat for dirt cheap, it's worth looking into. If you're vegan or facing a septuple bypass, perhaps not so much. It's quite simple, really.

I thought rednecks liked BBQ.

But he could steal Myron's wife if he wanted to.

The behavior of certain groups when they get their hackles up is absolutely fascinating. Please, don't let up.

In your bet, you'd likely be down the sum of exactly one farm. It is my estimate that a more skilled BBQer with better hardware (there is only so much you can do with a little sub-$200 box, of course) would run circles around me, and I'd be the first to applaud.

That said, it's great to have a cheap, easily-dealt-with little box that does so well. Sorry if it, for some profoundly incomprehensible reason, upsets you, buttercup.

I love reading replies borne of threatened indignation. It's odd how trying to inspire people to truly live well often so rankles our rubes.

Know that a great life is within the grasp of most of us. Just gotta have imagination and ATTITUDE.

What if you and Myron had the exact same equip, wood, aprons and stuff... letโ€™s say it all comes down to skill and awesomeness.
You getting the โ€œWโ€œ?

Some are treating you like a Richard because thatโ€™s how you have come here and acted, Buttercup-


What has happed to you does not define who you are-

HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!
