CB,
Are you wanting a grill or a smoker?
Hands down for a smoker, go with an FE.
For grilling, I love it, given is uses pellets, that's a big plus. Mrs. Smokin' notice the improved flavor over the gas grill.
I can go out, turn it on and it comes up to temp very fast.
My only concerns would be a couple of questions about "fit" and that some screws have already rust and mine has a little problem with the power coat.
Any specific questions?
