Thanks Gus! I will Google info about KCBS events and I need to clarify. I am going to the BBQ competition in my area in November ... as a spectator LOL! I am hoping to see a Pellet smoker grill in action. Heck, I am just hoping I won't burn food in cooks on the pellet smoker I finally do get. I will be very happy if I can cook ribs, chicken wings, turkey, salmon, pulled pork or a brisket that tastes good. I am going to order my pellet grill choice after I attend the Local BBQ event in November, whether I see one in use or not. I definitely know I want one.
