After being on the pro BBQ cook-off's I have used many different cookers. Quit the cook-off's sold all equiptment, and bought a  Pit Boss. Used it 2 times, then had to cook for a going away party for our Pastor, who wanted brisket.I borrowed a friends Traeger, to cook with. After cooking in it, I went a bought the Pro Series. I use it every week, just love cooking on it. From meat, fish, to veggies, excellent job!
