Last year, my grill went belly up. \u00a0Admittedly, I use it pretty hard, cooking on it multiple times a week, probably more than the average person. \u00a0When one of the propane hoses split and had fire coming out of it, I looked into what I would need to spend to bring the whole grill back up to good condition, and it wasn't worth it. \u00a0I decided to get rid of it and get another one.<\/p>\n

The only thing was my previous grill<\/a> was a combo model. \u00a0It had a propane side, a charcoal side, and attached to the charcoal side was a side firebox, used for smoking. \u00a0And I did that a lot. \u00a0The charcoal side wasn't really designed well to get the charcoal in and out, so I didn't use it so much. \u00a0I figured there were better solutions out there.<\/p>\n

After I got rid of my grill combo, I looked around, and asked you what propane grill I should get and what charcoal grill I should get. \u00a0In the end, I decided to go with Weber products. \u00a0They are high quality, everyone raves about them and should last awhile.<\/p>\n

\"WeberIn the end, I'm planning on getting a Weber Propane Grill, a Weber Charcoal Grill, and a Weber smoker. \u00a0I started with the smoker.<\/p>\n

Why was that? \u00a0Pretty simply, I found the Weber Smoky Mountain Cooker for $100 off the normal price. \u00a0I think Walmart was getting rid of stock that had been there awhile, so they had a nice sale on them. \u00a0A friend at work alerted me to it, and I finally went and purchased one.<\/p>\n

I waited until last weekend, then put that smoker together, dug an opening in the snow, added the charcoal, and proceeded to smoke chicken breasts, a rack of baby backs, and a nice tri-tip. \u00a0The results were fabulous.<\/p>\n

With my old charcoal grill chamber and side firebox, I was constantly adding charcoal, and it seemed really difficult to hold the heat. \u00a0With the Weber Smokey Mountain, one helping of charcoal, and the cook lasted all day (was still going strong 9 hours after I started). \u00a0Even with the cold temperatures and snow all around, the smoker kept its heat and I was very pleased with the results. \u00a0 It was pretty much set and forget, except monitoring temperatures. \u00a0And I hear there are some gasket kits to make things even tighter and better.<\/p>\n

I LOVED THE RESULTS!<\/p>\n

So, that's the beginning of my new journey with Weber. \u00a0And we are off to a good start!<\/p>\n
