Hi All
I've been checking out the website here for a week or so now as I've slowly made up my mind to get a bullet smoker rather than a grill bbq. A gas grill is still on the books though!
I'm not going to need the area of the larger sized pro q exel or 57cm WSM and the smaller ones look a tad too small so I'm in the middle ground and torn between the two.
There don't seem to be many reviews of the newer elite series Pro Q's which I'm kinda leaning towards. I see that they have improved them with stainless steel parts and thicker metal (1mm). I'd like to know:
- 1) how much thicker than the original is it?
- 2) how does the thickness compare to the WSM?
- 3) is it entirely Porcelain enamel coated now like the WSM (i.e. including the stackers)?
- 4) Is the excel really still thicker as most reviews of past models state this was better built than the frontier. Does this apply with the elites?
- 5) Are their extra stackers available in the new elite style (i.e. stainless steel, thicker metal, PE coating, silicone grips and grommets, etc)
- 6) Has anyone got an elite and compared it to the previous Pro Q's and/or WSM.
I'm wanting to purchase one sooner rather than later so need to make my mind up but am really struggling.
Thanks for any replies and nice to meet you all!
