Title: New Elite Purchase
Post by: dozer996 on June 15, 2018, 12:08:53 PM: I just purchased a Memphis Elite Builtin!!!! Took someone's advice from a previous thread about a grill shop in the Houston area and they "took" care of me versus my local Michigan dealer.

Now I need to sell my Komodo Kamado and get me a builtin BBQ island to slap this into!!!!

Cancelled my deposit on a Shirley Fabrication cabinet smoker for this pellet grill, think I made the right decision. I wanted that authentic stick burner but realized I don't have the time or patience to maintain splits every hour of a low and slow cook.

I have a SRF "Gold" Waygu Brisket going on this cooker once I'm up and running. From what I read, do you think it is wise to place the meat on the middle shelf of a Elite for low and slow around 250Â°?

I think Memphis has started selling stainless outdoor cabinets to go with the built-ins.
