Anyone else got theirs ordered?

I'm not ready quite yet to buy, but when I am ready I will look hard at the PG500. Therefore, I'm looking forward to hearing your reports as you break her in.

Ordered mine last week. Forgot to order pellets so will be adding in the morning.Congrats Cal. I look forward to learning along side and from you.

Way cool Tim, congrats yourself, and I too am looking forward to learning and sharing our knowledge.

When I talked to John about ordering it, I asked if any was coming off the line yet. Sorry to report that they hadn't gotten any yet, but they were in the process of manufacturing the units. He wouldn't give an estimated time, but when I asked if it could be the 1st of the year, he said that was a possibility, cause they have had a good response of orders.

Congrats Cal, looking forward to hearing about your experiences with the pellet grill.

Cal's patio is starting to look like Smokin's. Well, maybe a downsized version.

Smokin's deck with self park or valet parking.

LOL!...yeah guys, who is gonna help me get my toys on the deck???

I heard Smokin has an elevator on his, better man up.

Smokin's also got an escalator, much like a regional mall also has both.

Virtual food court for the neighborhood.

Ordered mine 10 days ago and found out today talkin to Karen that the origional ship date will be moved back closer to the end of the year. Gonna be staring out the dam window that week with the kids, they'll be waitin for santa and I'll be waitin for that big brown truck...

Ha ha...

... you guys know we took the escalator out to make way for the new deck because he had the escalator in because the yard was too slanted.

Sheesh, keep up....

Now I'm not gonna post photos of the deck after it was finished and stained...and before you ask, no we didn't stain it gold

HA are you kidding me. I have a picture of your deck taped to the coffee can I drop nickels in each week, saying some day, some day. You got to have goals,shame they are so big, just like that dang deck of yours.

Coffee can? Better trade up to a 55 gal drum

55 Gallon Drum? I'm thinking he better want to upgrade a little farther...500 gallon stock tank!

Started as a pelletgrill thread, hijacked into funning with the Moderator and his deck. Gotta love it. Doesn't get any better than that!

Yeah, once again you're right Pags!

Congrats, Charcoal Loungers, I just got my confirmation yesterday and Karen informed me that my date was 1/30/12...Dang it! Tim and you will have yours black time mine gets here, oh well!

Anyone else got one ordered?

Iam new to the forum but have had my smoker for several years. Iam going to order the new pellet smoker/grill next weekend. Never used a pellet grill before so will probably be asking for lots of help

We love ours, have the 1000. As long as you ask for help and don't tease the Moderator, we'll help you all we can

I was also at the class and used the pg500 to cook my ribs and chicken. The next thing IKnew IWas at the order table. Its going to be a long wait till the delivery date of mid january

Cal,
I called Karen today and the way I understood her was they shipped unit # 1 and #2 today. She said they are waiting on parts and mine should ship by the end of week or early next. I am # 7 and ordered it on November 14th.

I ordered mine 11/14 also. Not sure what # I am but I'm assuming I'm close to you Tim-In-Az. Hope it shows up soon, can't get that dam Carly Simon song outta my head!

Just received my bill of lading from fed ex...yeeha!

Just received mine as well. Looks like it is shipping Thursday and I should have it by 01/16

Cool. Mine ships tomorrow but supposed to arrive monday also. Guess mine is #2. Wonder who got #1??

Very nice!! I guess I misunderstood her then. I thought she said 1 and 2 shipped yesterday.

#1 to Smokin????

Lord knows there is enough room on that deck for it.

Nope I have my 1000.

I've got room on the deck, but I think I want my FEC 120 before I get a PG500.

Remember, I HAVE a 36" charbroiler

I want a charbroiler too

Truth be told?

I use my FEPG1000 a LOT for pizza and individual Que and rarely use it for the grill side since I have the Charbroiler.

Without the CB I used the direct side of the PG a lot. Wife loved the flavor.

You guys are in for a great experience. Before I got mine, I thought the egg would be my main smoker/grill/cooker. I got them both at the same time and the egg has been used twice. The FEPG500, more times than I can count and starting to cook chicken, vertical and split, thighs and pizza the other night on a baking stone on the top rack in zone 2. Next is to cook ribs on zone 4 with the eye toward competition.

Chicken @300 setpoint took 2 hours in zone 4 for both vertical as well as split.

Pizza @400 setpoint took 10 minutes on a stone in 10 minute preheat zone 2. Great crisp crust.

I think the limit of this grill is the imagination. I'm looking at doing flats and pork butts as well. I concerned that this will relegate my FE100 to a competion only grill as I have a SM070 for catering. Sigh

Cook One. Smokin has room on his deck for his 4 Cookshacks and this:

Holy crap! Party at Smokin's house, we'll have to get David(Butcher) to supply the meat for that critter. He's suppose to be coming into a little TOY money, and that looks like a toy...lol!

Yeah, if we could figure out the logistics, I COULD host a bunch of people on the deck. I'm just not sure I want to see you guys around the pool or hot tub...

Hot tub, pool, every product cookshack makes a deck with run way lights, man I'm glad I finally know what the good life looks like. Hey Smokin is it true bologna will not fall through the grates on the charbroiler?

You forgot the three separate sets of stereo speakers controllable from my iPhone.

I smoke full bologna chubs of course they don't fall through the grates. but yes, they are very narrow and very little does get through them.

Check with me next summer, I might actually offer up a "regional" BBQ at my house for Cookshackers... I have the deck, you bring the food...
