I have 2 US Stove company pellet grills.
A small tailgater version which I use most of the time. I like the amount of smoke it throws and it is the right size for our family of 3. Another cool feature is it comes with a griddle for cooking... griddle things.
The bigger one is nice as well, but too big for most meals I make.
I love the pellet grill (aka lazy mans) method of BBQing. I have made some amazing food on these grills.

My pleasure. I've been looking at them on the internet; I'm pretty much home bound right now, but I'm going to take a look at one in the store in the near future.

I have a traeger and I have smoked 100s of pounds of meat on it. I love it. I use it our sunroom and I use a wireless remote thermometer seems like cheating : ) . I want an off-set smoker but can't really justify it. I also have a Blackstone griddle that I use more than my smoker now. Will probably use it to do hashbrowns on tomorrow.

The Blackstones work pretty good do they? I've been thinking about getting one . . . I also have a Traeger.

They work very well, anything that you would do in a frying pan on a stove you can do on a blackstone. I've even seen a guy fry fish on one, in an aluminum pan with oil in it. You can pick them up used on FB.
Great for Big breakfasts, I've lost count of how many pounds of fried rice I've done on it. Street corn, fried rice, pancakes, bacon, hash browns, smashburgers. Pretty much anything you can imagine. I have the 36" and my sister just bought the 28" she really likes it.

Only because I'm a tightwad ,I don't have a Blackstone. I use a griddle salvaged off a commercial range top and like it better than gas grill for steak. I think a Blackstone belongs in any serious outdoor cook's arsenal.

Interesting article. Nothing I've ever done, or really even thought much about before reading some threads here on TBN. Video did answer a lot of questions.Here's an article with a lot of info on frills and smokers:

At first I thought it was a typo (and maybe it was) with "frills", but man you can really go nuts with this stuff! I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that some can be controlled by a smartphone, but I guess everything is today...

Wow! Makes me want to walk down that aisle! I notice they are about out of Bad Byron's Butt Rubb; my go to rubb before I came up with my own, which I think is better, at least for me.

Yes, I looked into griddle's that you put on the cooktop gas stove but my wife hates me to cook anything greasy, stinky or smokey on her gas stove, which is about everything you cook on a griddle. lol So, we compromised and I cook in the sunroom with windows open. I cook more in the sunroom now than she cooks in the kitchen, no lie. I cooked steaks and fried rice last night on the blackstone.
You can get blackstones for cheap sometimes on FB people buy them and don't use them like they thought etc.

This is amazing on steaks, burgers, chicken, turkey.
I put this Blackened rub on baked potatoes, eggs of every kind, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and on some meat. It is considered a rub. Both of these are a little pricey but they last a long time.

That one sort of confused me as well. Seems a bit spammish.
One of the best places I have found to learn about new recipes and spices is on All Things BBQ website. atggq.com
They make the best smokers - and offset smokers made of plate steel with lifetime guarantee. But they have stopped making the Cheyenne smoker which was their smallest offset. And now their prices are VERY high.
I don't think I can count the number of Charbroil, Weber, or other sheet metal smokers and grills I have had to throw away after everything inside them rusted. After I bought the Yoder Cheyenne (used for $800), I have not bought another. It will be the last one I will ever need to buy.
They have videos showing how to smoke their recipes.
