I think the Uuni 3 Pellet Pizza Oven was a great experiment in the members funding the purchase of a product for evaluation and testing.  Is there any interest in doing more of these?  If so, what do you all want to see funded and evaluated?

If I get enough of a list, I can get pricing info and do a poll.

I guess there are many things -- meat grinder, those marinade tumblers, sous vide machine, griddles -- what do you all want to see?

I will run the paypal, but stay out of the drawings. All those sound good. Would you be willing to do a lower end pit? Like the vertical pit boss.

everything you listed Kristin and I like the thought of testing one of those vertical smokers too and one of those fancy more expensive injectors

I’d be interested in a knife sharpener, souls vide and the vertical pit as well. Probably much more than that but I’m sure others will come up with some great ideas

I don't think the vertical smoker is a problem, folks just have to understand most cost for both the smoker and the shipping.  I just quickly looked at the Pit Boss vertical pellet smoker.  We can get for $500 from the Home Depot in Warrenton with no shipping (did not really shop -- maybe some of you folks could find a much better deal, even with shipping).

I see it is 108 lbs, so did a quick fed ex from Culpeper to Bremerton WA (about the farthest we could go -- I don't believe we could go overseas and I think Canada is also probably out, but I am open to what others find on shipping) and that comes to $152.

So, for that unit, probably looking at $653 max to be raised.  I don't know what folks would think about something that is 1/3 more expensive than the Uuni?  You all are the participants, so you need to tell me.

I cant do a better review then LowSlowJoe did on the Fireboard, or your Smoke Review!  The Tappecue is "coming back"  I just cant say when yet.

As far as the Aux smoke devices...Meh, so subjective, I realize a Review is somewhat subjective, but not sure how to quantify it?  Not trying to kibash your input...

Video of unit lighting it, closing door of grill, and video of smoke generation for 5-10 minutes or how ever long until it takes for it to quit billowing and temp inside grill while device is smoking - curious to see how much it increases temps

then do the same with the grill set at 200° and 250°

Just saw it today at Menards for 399. Not sure if you have those stores or if it's the exact same model.

I think there are 2 sizes, one is 2.2 cu.ft and the other is 3 something. Louisiana also has one I think?

That offer was made about 3 months ago, on anything they chose to send.

Blazing has a new barrel smoker.  You can see a picture of it on their Facebook page.  Maybe get Tim to let you test it?
