Getting a new cooker

fergolicious · Posted: Thu May 30 13 1:29 am Post subject: Getting a new cooker

Wanted to see what this group thought. I am in the market for a new cooker. Wanted to see what you all thought in your minds to be the best cooker out there for $3000 or less. I am a competition bbq cook and do some small cooking on the side for friends and family. I am looking at insulated cookers as well. I have zeroed in on the Rebel 23 or 28, but wanted to do some more research. Thanks!

I would go with a Diamond Plate Smoker, but my opinion is biased.... Love to talk to you. 214-471-4690.

I looked at your pits. Appears to be a good product for the price. The only thing is that they are not insulated cookers.

You are correct. If you decide to go with a traditional stick burner, give us a hollar..

Pitts by JJ or pitmaker. Either one in my opinion are fantastic cabinet cookers. I know as much about the rebel now as I did back on your last post about them. I guess you found some more info on them.

I like the Diamond Plate Pits and the Pits by JJ. Pitmaker is nice, but a little out of my price range. I appreciate the info guys. Travis, is the number you have posted your cell?

What is the cooking space in square inches in the Fat 40? Your website says that this model contains double the cooking space with upper shelves.

Grills Gone Wild, I do like the Assassin Smokers and I was looking at them, but the only problem is that I would have to pay approx $400-$500 to have the pit shipped to me as with the Rebel, I can drive about 3.5 hours and pick it up and save those hundreds of shipping dollars. Thanks for the tip though.

As a Gator man, I'm biased too, but look at Gatorpit's Rebel and Dual Stacker models.

Best of luck!

Andrew T, I have researched them as well. The only problem is distance and shipping costs.

If you aren't set on a gravity fed but want a cabinet style, check out the Backyard Bomber MJH. It is a clone of a backwoods.
