Hey all, My name is Pete and I am currently researching the purchase of a pellet smoker/grill. I would like input from everyone on which brands/models would be a good choice for a first time pellet user. I am a chef so I am experienced with all types of grills, stick burners, charcoal grills. I'd like to keep my price point under $1k for my first pellet grill. I've been looking at Pit boss, Camp Chef, Rec Tec. Traeger is out of the running though.Thanks in advance for your help/
