I've had 4 different offset firebox pits in my adult life and two ceramic egg/kamado cookers. Sold the last ceramic for fear of breaking it during our move. As much as I liked the way they do poultry, I missed my stick burner for brisket.
Was planning to try a pellet grill for the new house but one of my pecan trees dropped a nice sized limb and that got me to thinking. Every neighbor has two old-growth pecans in their back yard and we back up to a greenbelt with about two dozen pecans in it. I might have an endless supply of pecan wood for smoking and the nursery in town sells Texas Longhorn pits which I love.
Up side: Cracking my first beer at 5am to start the fire. Smelling that sweet smoke all day!
Down side: Wondering if my pit is holding temp while I'm golfing or fishing.
Truly torn here.
