Title: Hello from WA state
Post by: pnwgrllr on November 02, 2018, 10:31:41 AM: Howdy,

My name is David. I have been a griller for many years. I am currently cookin' it up with a BGE that I have had for many years. I bought my first Kamado from a dealer in Atlanta who is now the distributor/owner of BGE.

I have decided to add a pellet pooper to my grillin' stable in Spring 2019 and was directed to this site by a fellow Reddit user. I am on the fence about which unit to buy, but am looking at Rec Tec Stampede, Grilla Silverbac, LG 800E and Blaz'n Grills Grand Slam. I am interested in a Yoder 480, but the cost is a bit out of my range.

My first dilemma is whether I want to buy Chinese made or US made. I realize the Chinese made ones are assembled in the US, but I'm just not sure yet if I really want to contribute to the Chinese economy any more than I am.

Anyway, glad to be here and TIA to all for the site and any contributions.

you feel the information may be sensitive or you want to keep things private.

We bought a Camp Chef and it's been a good "first" pellet grill.

I have my eye on an upgrade sometime next year... 8)

Where in Wa are you

As far as your dilemma
I would love to tell you that I always buy American when I can (thatâ€™s not the case)
I am looking enough to have an old American made Traeger 124

Recently Iâ€™ve kind of been thinking about getting a new pit
Iâ€™m kind of on the fence between a rec tech and an American made Blazinâ€™ (Nebraska)
