I enjoy having a large, older model grill. It has two hoppers and predates hot rods. As a result, starting it up requires manually lighting the pellets. The controller only has three settings, so cooking temps are an inexact science! I normally try to cook a lot at one time to maximize my efforts. The results have normally been quite good and for some irrational reason I get to feel like I have taken the moral high ground!
However, as much as I like my grill, I must admit every once in a while there have been nagging questions that keep popping up in the back of my mind. I have wondered what it would be like to simply push a button and have the pellets magically light; to have a wide range of temperatures to choose from; to be able to sear and smoke meat on the same grill; and not having to roll out a tank each time I want to cook.
Looks like I will soon be able to find some answers to my questions. I found a one year old Pit Boss 700 classic for sale online in my area. The price was quite reasonable, so in a moment of weakness I caved and picked it up. I am hoping what I loose in moral high ground will result in being able to grill more often with less hassle. I think the two grills will complement each other quite well.
