What are you using now? I have a pellet grill and it's been pretty easy to use, especially with wifi probes and app control of the grill.

My turkey this Xmas was a big hit and I love smoking stuff so I wanna get something that's easier to manage and which lets me do bigger cooks.
The Camp Chef XXL looks really promising: https://www.campchef.com/cc-vertical...6axrvCwoQNLXvA
It's $1199 at Bass Pro (more than I prefer to spend) and takes up less space than a grill (I already got 3 other BBQs).

I'd wait for the Costco Traeger roadshow in the spring. Wait NVM you said vertical. I'm not sure about verticals but look for ones that have probe inputs and wifi/app control for max easy lol

Are you able to download and then transfer it onto USB? You can use the official Media Creation Tool to download the files onto USB. Would that work? If so, you can get it for $39.99 (I think USD?) from StackSocial.

I'd prefer a vertical smoker since they take up less space, I don't need the grilling function, and they have better performance but for the right price I'll sign up for a horizontal one.

I'll check it out,thanks.
edit: just checked it out. you have to be running Windows 10 to upgrade to 11. this won't work for me.

Thought you guys would get a laugh outta this one, my dad sent me this pic over the holidays.
We've been doing this car obsession for a long time now 
He totaled this 240SX racing the damn thing on the highway heading to Tofino.
RIP to that beauty.

Dawwww that smile warms my heart. You can totally tell you’re in love with the car
I wish my parents had money growing up. I was in love with a Nissan Sentra XE, Hoping it was an SE and dreaming it would turn into a 240sx

What are your NYE's plans? What is available in 'Fun Vancouver'? A train ride in Stanley Park? Free ride on transit ? ....
Any family friendly events?

We should revive Operation Revnose.
Now that I have a dashcam, I can so prove to you guys that cute blonde chicks in tight shiny blue skirts prancing across streets exist. Man, I still see it in my mind like it happened yesterday. Smiled and waved at me, she did.
El Bastardo can be dispatcher, again.
Then breakfast at IKEA after it’s all done.

yo check the case. it looks a bit tight.
Is that a mini ATX? if you have a big beefy GPU like a 4080 it'll have air flow problems in a tight case.
The top looks like a radiator for watercooling. Thats nice! (looks like cosairs?)
