Aloha from Minnesota. I lived in Hawaii in the 70's and miss it terribly. But I know you'll enjoy this forum.

Well, I don't have a lot of options out here on the east coast. But I did my homework and talked to few knowledgeable people here before making a purchase. That's the beauty of this forum. Plenty of helpful people.
My MAK 1 star came from Oregon, if that means anything. ;)

First - WELCOME! We are glad you joined us!

Second - the good news is that 2 of the 3 brands you mentioned are Site Sponsors here on LTBBQ, and they will be happy to answer any of your questions about their products. And, you can't go wrong with either one.

I lived in Hawaii in the 70's...

Me, too. Oh yeah, I still live in Hawaii (where the cost and availability of pellet poopers (and pellets) make them almost unknown).  I guess there are some (but not many) good things about living on the mainland.
