Have you gotten rid of smokers?
« Reply #-1 on: March 07, 2016, 01:50:00 PM »
Since owning the versatile PBC have you sold or got rid of your other smokers? What have you or have you not gotten rid of?

I have a MES with the mailbox mod I thought about getting rid of. If I decide to throw a butt in the smoker before leaving for work it can cook it slow enough to have it done when I walk through the door. Sadly I can't do that with the PBC unless I get a temp controller to make the PBC a low and slow cooker. I just may do that and only own my PBC.

 "get rid of ". Something I don't do well.... 
 I have a grill parts wrecking yard in my barn...  I used one of the old regulators Saturday when a brand new one failed on the Gasser. 

In answer to your original question... If you use the MES and have the space for it then keep it.  There are times when that butt being ready when you arrive home is a very good thing. My son's finally died a few weeks back and he was just saying how he missed it just because he could set it out on the driveway(for fire safety) all day and have dinner ready when he got home.

Most definitely rotating cookers here! I can't force myself to get rid of any of mine. Each has it's purpose in my
arsenal.  BUT, there is always room for more!  8) ;)

Uh-oh, time for an intervention.  Cody is having thoughts about getting rid of a smoker.

Ummmmm, no. Not happening over here.  In fact one of my co-workers gave me a virtually brand new Myron Mixon pellet smoker the other day.  They bought a house and it had a uber nice outdoor kitchen with a professional grade stainless 6 burner built in so they did not need to move the pellet smoker.  So, I gave it to the daughter and her fiance, as they don't have a grill or smoker (yet). But if they don't use it soon, I'm going to rescue it from the land of neglect (Hell, I even bought them a few bags of pellets and they still have not used it).  Thought I raised her better than that, sigh......

We need some good solid data here. I hope the boys deliver. And yes, giving a smoker to a relative is a rotation.
