Hello group! This is my very first post here. I currently own a little cook shack electric smoker but I've always wanted a PG 1000. It's always been out of my price range. I am considering ordering the PG 1000i but, naturally, I have concerns. I have talked to the factory and been told that the basic cabinet, material type, and fitness is all the same between the 1000 and the 1000i. One of my concerns is parts in the future. One thing I failed to ask the factory is if the pellet burner was the same or not. Also, I have concerns the third party Wi-Fi control. I wonder if these things will be available in the future? I am not sure how well this grill is being accepted by the community and if it will be around in the future. Any thoughts anyone may have about this would help me with my decision. I would love to hear from someone who's actually bought the 1000i. Just for reference, the reason I'm interested in this product is I want to smoke and grill. Doing this with one appliance seems like a nice thing but I wonder if I'm sacrificing on one side or the other.

Hello Dean and welcome to the forum.   I would like a PG 1000 as well but never ever going to happen with my budget.  Now that you have remembered what you forgot to ask (I do that all the time), you might want to contact CS  and get further info.  Send an email in bullet format so that each item of concern can be answered.  I suppose you already know that the 1000i is made n India.  And for now there is a price drop per their site.  If all the innards are identical, and you have a limited budget, the I model would make sense. The lid appears to have a paint coating or maybe enamel so ask about that.  And I prefer Made in USA. and would be willing to spend extra.  But I am confident that CS knows what they are doing and you do have the warranty.
