What is Santa bringing you?
« on: November 20, 2017, 03:14:44 PM »
Santa’s bringing me $200 to put toward grilling gear.  What should I get?  One large purchase or multiple small items?

I know I need to step up my thermometer game.  Thinking about blowing it all on a tappeque or a Smoke with a Gateway.  But I could stay with the generic one I have and upgrade to a Thermopen and have leftover funds to use elsewhere.

I have an older Traeger Texas with a Pellet Pro controller.  I bought a Don Godke downdraft, but had to take it off.  It didn’t breathe well enough to get a clean burn.  I also have a smoke tube.  It would be nice to have the bottom and/or front shelf.  I need help prioritizing my wants.

What would you do?

A new SS heat shield for my Texas.   Every time I clean mine out more rust flakes, not to mention it's badly warped. 

The gift I'm most excited about is a hand crafted leather chefs apron.    Wife is getting it for me as evidently I've ruined a few too many shirts during gatherings we host.

My grill and smoking equipment is in good form so I am hoping for some homebrewing equipment.  I'd love a new fermenter to increase my beer output, and a wort chiller to shorten the time I stand around watching three gallons of liquid cool from boiling to under 100 F.

My grill and smoking equipment is in good form so . . .

I am sliding funds away for a possible drone purchase after the holidays.
The main consideration has been Mavic Pro vs Phantom 4 Pro.

Another Shun knife to add to my small arsenal would be fantastic . . . maybe a sujihiki. I hope Santa is registered on Pelletfan!
