Great job on the steaks and welcome to THE TEAM! 

What was your buying process that led you to the Elite?

Wife wanted a cooker that could heat up fast for weekday cooks (sold my Komodo Kamado) and I didn’t want a gasser. Almost bought the Mak but she wanted a builtin island outside so here comes the project!!! Was between the Elite or Mak 3, ended up going Elite for the grilling features...gonna smoke some whole chickens tonight, more pictures coming.

It is truly a year-round cooking machine. Grill, oven & smoker all in one. It will hold temps tighter than your oven in your kitchen. If your wife likes to bake it does an awesome job with that.

Memphis is selling outdoor island stainless cabinets now to go with built-in Pros & Elites.
Check with your dealer.

Are those the au gratin potatoes from Sam's?  I love those things made on the smoker.

Yes, from Costco...it was a great way to break in the cooker.

Got home early to throw on a couple Berkshire racks. Smoking at 225* for 3 hours unwrapped, then wrapping for 2 hours, and then back on to tighten up a bit.

Patio pics included too, project is complete.

Very nice set up.

I think the pellet cover can be reversed if it makes adding pellets any easier.

trying smoking those ribs at 275 for 3-3.5 hours next time.  i think you will get same tenderness and flavor and save you some time.
