Yeah, they are pretty cool machines. I have the PG500 and it is great. I cook EVERYTHING on it. Almost to the point of not needing the oven in the kitchen...
Looking back, I wish I would have spent a little more for the PG1000. The one thing I struggle with is temp control and I wonder if the insulated PG1000 would be the difference maker.
Keep us posted... Would love to hear about your experiences! I would be happy to throw some ideas back and forth with you!
