I have been enjoying my Coleman Cookout I purchased a few months ago, on sale at Canadian Tire for $600, regularly $800. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/c...-0853189p.html

I badly wanted a Green Mountain Grill Daniel Boone but it is out of my price range ($1,300CDN). I have smoked a brisket on my brother's GMG Davey Crockett, and it is what got me into pellet smokers.

The Coleman has been awesome so far. Lots of room (three racks, but I have yet to use the very top rack). It is sturdily built, and the pellet hopper holds a full 20lbs bag of pellets. It has two probes, and the temp controller is ok (I have swings of 20 degrees either way, as it is not a PID controller, but it is not constant and holds close to it's temperature for most of the cook). To date I have smoked three briskets (18lbs before trim), three pork butts, some chicken thighs, and I am doing another pork butt this Wednesday.

I use Lumberjack pellets, and there is a company in town that sells Lumberjack options that Wickerland doesn't (I prefer Pecan pellets) and an Ontario brand that I cannot recall. And he is in Mckenzie Towne, so much closer to my location.

My goal is to eventually own a GMG grill, but they keep making them fancier and fancier (wifi, glass window on the hood, internal lights, that they keep getting more expensive. I need to keep an eye out for an older model I guess.

Some day. Happy BBQing!
