I donâ€™t know how to add photo of one we are wanting but it is larger than the LG900. Are youâ€™ll seeing the Champion Pro or Champion Back yard LG900?(http://)

Not that one. It is the 900 with the cold smoker.

The side boxes look to be primarily for keeping food warm or for very low smoking for jerky or cheese. Not sure why most would need two cabinets for warming or very low smoking temps.

Post by: Jakester on April 27, 2018, 11:47:48 AM: how much are these smokers going for at costco warehouses?
Title: Re: Louisiana Champion grill
Post by: Ross77 on April 27, 2018, 01:14:04 PM: Saw it today at Costco in Maple Grove MN.

$999

They have 4 different smokers/grills from Dansons.

Post by: Jakester on April 27, 2018, 01:48:27 PM: You guys are lucky. Our local Costco sucks, the only smoker i've seem so far was the Traeger.

Post by: Ross77 on April 27, 2018, 04:48:45 PM: To be honest it seemed a little flimsy compared with the LG900 they had next to it.

The doors and drip tray drawers were a little thin and didnâ€™t operate very smoothly.

On the plus side it has a proper sized hopper. 27 pounds. Should be standard on all their models.
