Note on drbbq and Pellet Munchers.

Sure do wish they would make a home sized unit.

"Sure do wish they would make a home sized unit."

I use mine for my wife & 2 year old and it is great. It's so efficient and easy to use, it's the perfect home model. Gave up my offset a long time ago and never looked back....

I was just looking around at some older threads and I saw this one.
In my first ever FBA contest, using my homemade FEC100 inspired (ripped off) design, me and Ribdog won three out of four catagories, and we still have the highest individual catagory, and the highest overall scores in FBA history from that day. I'm not a favorite son so they choose not to list that on their website, but it's the truth.

I use mine only to cook for myself and I don't compete. I think the cost of the pellet delivery system is a good portion of the cost so I don't think they would make a small unit. I bought a small smokette when I bought this unit and I only used it once. I think my dad swiped it from me now.

I actually have used mine to capacity. I cook up large amounts and vacuum seal and freeze.

Another benefit for me is it get extremely cold here. I load the food in the heated garage and push it outside to cook and it doesn't skip a beat. I have cooked when it has been -38F outside.

I can vouch for drbbq and Ribdog.

We were there to see the still highest ever score.

Traeger makes a small unit that I have seen advertised for $499.00 using the same pellet
delivery system.

There's got to be an interesting story behind this. Are you going to keep us in the dark?

DocT, it'll have to be told in person over a series of beers.

I can't imagine you not being someone's favorite son! You are so nice!

I know, I can't understand it either.

Thanks Peggy.

To know him is to love him??

Tom,
Maybe I just haven't seen his bad side!

Does Ray have a Bad side? Well I know the first contest I cooked at. Ray was right next door to us laughing at me as I had half the forrest with me for my home built lang 60. I know that he took all the prize money in the morning and looked refreshed. Made me switch to Pellets. Now I have four of the dang things. Wife says I have a problem and might need to go talk to someone about it....LOL But I think she like it when I bring home some prize money also. Ray has helped me out alot and I thank him for it. I think alot of people are help ful in the the BBQ Family that is what it is all about no fun having the same person winning everytime. Then you have no one coming out to compete.
