Well, I won't be buying anything before this snow / cold leaves (spring, summer, 2020???) So, I have time to look around. I don't need a large cooking area - we don't do a lot of food to save. But, if I pull the trigger (and that is an if as my fires are working well) I want something that will last in the extreme temps / weather we experience and is reliable. Those are the two critical factors for me. I regularly read the posts of the pellet heads and appreciate your comments, thoughts and experiences. Please keep them coming.
