How Many Pellet Pits/Smokers do You Own?

Now for a poll just dedicated to the number of pellet pits/smokers you own.  Again, if you have multiples, why?

The GMG DC gets most of the attention because I'm mostly cooking for 2. Thought the GMG JB would get more use but for the most part it sits.

The main reason I have 3 is they were just too good of a deal on Craigslist.

Had 2 at one point. Figured I'd use both more, and just didn't. Thats why the pg500 went to my brother in law.

I use the DC for every day small cooks and the Traeger Select for larger requirements.

One just seemed to lead to another for me. Got the Pellet Pro, liked the unit and pellet cooking so much I decided that I was ready to get something a little sturdier and higher up the food chain, which lead me to the Blazn Gridiron. Enjoyed both units, but seemed I needed a bigger unit to cover for my functions I was hosting, which lead me to the CS Super Hog. Well the GMG Davy Crockett just seemed like too good of a deal to pass up and filled the portable unit that I didn't own.

I have two smokers.  The Traeger Junior has the tailgate kit on it.  It stays in the motorhome and I use it on trips.  The GMG Daniel Boone is for my home base.

Just the Memphis Elite. But what else would I need? Plus the garage can't fit anything else  :)

One pellet muncher...my MAK 2 Star.   We get along quite well... it may not be that way if I were to start cheating on her ;-)

Tailgater was a gift from a friend.  Love/hate relationship with it, but we're on better terms since the Ortech and mounting it on the cart.  I guess now I could call it a Junior since the legs are off.  I only use it when I am cooking two things at different temps and cook times.
GMG DB was a Craigslist find and too cheap to pass up.  Had to put in a new controller and hopper fan and now it's my go to for everything.

Competitions.
If you are asking me (not sure?) sadly I have not. In all honesty I am rarely overwhelmed with what I cook. I love doing it, spent lots of money, tried lots of things, pleased many, learned lots, still play, all while "doing it". I have had a few opportunities to help-participate, just never have. Having said that, my Son in law who happens to be a "tell it like it us" guy tells me often that I am too hard on myself. He did buy a GMG as a result, I can say that I am a touch better but like him I just like to eat, so I do.

I was saying we have 3 for competitions. 

But after hearing what you had to say, you definitely need to come cook with us in Kansas City for the 2018 American Royal!
