I never get rid of grills or smokers but I do wear them out  ;D

The PBC has some great strengths, but like every other cooker it isn't perfect for everything.  I'm glad I've got room for my "arsenal".  That way I can use the PBC for what it is best at.

GASP...get rid of a grill..never..I sell and upgrade tho..Use my Lodge sportsman CI grill for the 1st time last night..so did Smokin Don, and have to trash a generic gasser or rebuild the entire insides. It's all about options. Think I wll stick with the charcoal for a while. I still have the CharBroil tabletop that I tested for them and a G2G for propane. I'm good for a while yet. I still like cooking over the open fire. .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Yes, I have gotten rid of smokers that were on the left side of my deck by moving them to the right side and vice versa. Occasionally there may be front to back movement also.

At least swap them for different a different one. I was soooo close to selling my pellet pooper to a guy on Craigslist but I just had to back out. I hardly use it anymore but just can't quite let it go

I bet Old Smoke is the winner here on rotation count!

I don't know about that. I think Sparky may have by a nose

Those two guys have single-handedly kept California's GNP #'s up in favorable order!  ::)

That might be true.  I'm done rotating grills.  I'm very happy with my arsenal now.  I've known some of y'all for about ten years or so.  Some of you know me very well.  Ok, the list of grills I have gone thru that I can remember are....

One mak 2 star, three mak 1 stars, traeger Texas, traeger lil tex, Memphis pro, Daniel Boone pellet grill, hasty bake, a few 26" kettles, two 22" WSM's, two 18's, 14" WSM, pk grill, weber performer, two 22 weber kettles, one 18" kettle, two UDS's, PBC (son has my first one), kamado big Joe, kamado joe classic, Joe Jr, two large eggs.

I can't remember any more.  My boss took my Memphis advantage for the store and gave me a memphis elite for my extra work on the two shows I did last month.  Ya for me.  My true loves are charcoal and pellets.  My favorite smoker of all time is my 22 WSM.  Favorite grill is my weber performer.  Ok I'm done talking.  Giants are on now.  Gotta go.  Y'all don't laugh too hard.  We all have passions.  Mine bbqing in the backyard.

I have been through my share. I had to sell a bunch to help my parents out when they had financial probs. I am pretty set now with a Chargriller and PK for grilling. Got a pellet pooper and a electric smoker for cold weather. Got a big stack of live oak waiting for me to get a quality stick burner this spring.......then Wendy can stick a fork in me....cause I will be done  8)
Got Smoke?

Yesterday I put a butt in my MES smoker that I use an A-MAZE-N with pellets and a mailbox mod with. I let it smoke all day for about 10 hours. I let it rest and pulled it. After eating it for dinner I have decided to sell it. The flavor was non existent compared to the PBC. I told my wife the meat taste like a plain roast that I could have done in the oven. Granted that is pretty much what an electric smoker is but I had assumed the pellets did something and before owning my PBC they did. Now that I am more versed in the way a pork but should taste I no longer see a point in keeping my electric smoker.

My arsenal will soon be all charcoal to include:
Pit Barrel Cooker
Mini WSM
22.5" Webber OTG

Cody it's OK to get rid of the Masterbuilt before it dies.
Don't expect to get a lot for it however.
