Title: New Member from Texas
Post by: GooseHawk on April 07, 2019, 08:07:40 PM

Hello everyone, In a past life I was a BBQ machine. I grew up working a 7 inch grinder cleaning up welds for my dad and being his child labor while we constructed some beautiful offset smokers. So obviously most of my experience was related to using a stick burner. Fast forward sometime and I have a family now and time is not as abundant as it was before, so most of my current experience consists of a Weber Genesis. However, I am currently in the market for a wood pellet smoker and have been scouring the internet to try and make a decision. That is how I found this forum and I hope to tap into some lost skills from the past. Maybe even learn some new ones from each of you. Thanks for having me!

Welcome from Southeast Texas (Crosby, to be precise)!  I did the bulk of my research on pellet grills here as well; if you have any questions about Blaz'n models I'll offer whatever info I can.  Good luck with the search!
