Hi all, glad to meet ya.
Been grilling/smoking meat now for about 6-7 years since my wife and I decided to settle down and buy a house. Own a 22" Weber Kettle Mastertouch, an Akorn Auto Kamado (that's currently dead since the electronics failed, customer service sucks, and they've been out of stock on replacement ash pans to turn it into a regular Akorn), and a Recteq Flagship 1100 pellet grill.
My kettle is my workhorse since I love charcoal and wood chunks with the new pellet grill for bigger meals and for family/friends that don't quite like smoked food or charcoal.
Mostly came here because I have a ton of interest in my weber kettle and what people are up to with them. I have dreams of a Smokey Mountain but that's a fight with funds/space/wife about another charcoal thing. My Akorn will probably be trashed sooner than later though.
