Welcome from North Carolina. Seems we are getting more and more folks from above our northern border to join us. This is a good thing. If you decide to get a pellet pooper (I have one), you and others can coordinate larger pellet buys to make it more economical to cook with pellets. That is what I have done. Our last group order was 4,400 pounds of pellets, at a very good delivered cost. I believe pellets are the future of outdoor cooking.
