I'm so happy to be done with this video. I've had three smokers in my yard this whole time, and it's been maddening. They take up more space than you might think. Bree will be happy to come home to one less, since as soon as I uploaded this, I gave the Camp Chef to an ex coworker.
I recorded that coworker loading his new Camp Chef into his truck and put it in the video. That one is BY FAR the lightest, and he seriously hurt his back doing this. I'm glad his pain was at least immortalized here.
If I had to pick just one to keep it would be the Yoder, since it's the most feature-rich, balanced, and EXPENSIVE, but I gotta say the Pitts and Spitts is truly beautiful and a pleasure to use. If I had to purchase one with my own money, it would be the P&S.
I didn't talk about Traeger because they get enough damn air time. If I did, I'd say "This guy buys his brisket at Costco"

It's not so much that something tasted WAY better on it, but that it changed what/when/how I can cook. I guess that specific dish would be a big bag of frozen ore-ida french fries, because there's no way I'd turn on the oven just for those.

Was there a specific dish that sold you on pellet smokers? or some other eureka moment? I was 'meh' on SV until a friend made me the juiciest pork tenderloin i've had with it. I was sold from that point on.

I remember a SV setup at home used to cost $2,000 and now they basically give them away in cereal boxes. I hope pellet grills get a similar treatment.

Completely agree about the smoker being the thing that gets you to think differently about food. Got a Traeger in 2020 and it's a gamechanger.
And I do buy brisket at Costco...
