It's not in my possession yet but I ordered a vertical pellet smoker from Louisiana Grills. I also have a Weber Spirit for my quick cooks and my workhorse is the 26 inch Kettle. I'm looking forward to learning a new style of cooking with pellets. I've learned a great deal from this site as a guest. Honest information from real users not influencers.

Welcome!    I’ve been eyeing up a vertical pellet smoker myself.   I just gave one as a gift last weekend so I’m waiting to get some feedback on that before I decide.    Lots of good info and technical knowledge here if you ever have questions.

Welcome, you will like the vertical.

I have one of the Pit Boss CH7 models. I like it a lot, only down side was my controller would go all wonky at times so there was not a level of trust when it came to using it with out me being close by. I have since swapped a different brand controller in and it is great. The space is awesome for when doing jerky or hanging sausages. and if you want to feed a lot of people hold massive amounts of chicken and pork chops.

  A most warm welcome to our humble group !

 One thing you must be aware of is, addiction. Wood pellet cooking can lead you down that road.

Thanks for the welcome everybody. 

My new addition won't be hear until July 1st so I've got a few days to grab some pellets. I live in the Austin, Texas area so luckily I've got an Academy store five minutes from my house and several HEB grocery stores which have a small but nice selection of smoking and grilling supplies. Pecan has become my favorite smoking wood because the aroma is so darn savory.

Greetings, and welcome to the forum!
Congrats on the new smoker (when you get it  )!!!

Howdy from south of San Antonio.  I think you have a Cookinpellets dealer there and I'm jealous.  But I do like the B&B that I can get at H-E-B.

Welcome to the group. I have been using B&B that Academy Sports carry for about a year now. My advice is grab a few brands and see what you like.
