This is one of the main reasons I went with a Camp Chef

I own a Camp Chef SmokePro DLX

I have the camp chef smoke pro DLX and really enjoy it. I plan on buying the sear box--->https://www.campchef.com/smokepro-bbq-sear-box.html very soon to solve the searing dilemma, also if you want more of smoke flavor try a smoke tube--->http://www.amazenproducts.com/category_s/12.htm I have been using one of these for about a year with great results.

Unfortunately none of my local Home Depot stores stock Kamado Joe's

I've been kicking around buying a KJ and I found the Classic for $899, is there a better deal out there or should I spend the extra $300 for the Classic II? Here's the link to the deal I have found so far---->https://www.bbqguys.com/bbq-grills-smokers/freestanding-kamado-grills

Sorry for the confusion, I also thought IR stood for instant read being that's what I use. Anyway I just ordered the Thermapen MK4 green in color and while I was at it I ordered a Thermopop (pink) for my Mom since she has mention before that she needs a new one. Thanks for your help!

Here is one I have been eyeballing.....https://www.lavatools.co/products/javelin-pro-d Also looking at the Thermapen and Thermopop.

I meant instant read, infared is no use to me.

Well my IR died after years of use so it's time for a upgrade, all suggestions is greatly appreciated. TIA!

Figured I would give an update after cooking on my pellet smoker for a few months. The Camp Chef Smoke Pro DLX is a great addition to my smoker family, I like the simplicity of it and the fact I can have it up to temp in 20 minutes or less with the flip of a switch. As far as smoke flavor you won't get a whole lot with the smoker alone so I figured out the perfect method is to use whatever is cheap in the hopper for fuel and use the a-maze-n-tube with a-maze-n-pellets pittmasters choice blend to get the smoke flavor I want and man it works great. I also get a pack of the cheap rectangle foil pans from WalMart that are about 1or 2 inches deep and they fit perfectly under my grill rack right above mt fire pot and I fill it about half full of been for added moisture in the cooker, this is the perfect combination for me, links below to the products I'm using. Happy smoking! https://www.amazenproducts.com/product_p/amnts.htm http://www.amazenproducts.com/category_s/62.htm

I pulled the trigger last night and bought the Camp Chef Smokepro DLX, it's loaded with all of the extras I want and it fit my budget perfectly. This grill is a lot more stout than I expected, I plan on putting a review on here eventually.

I'm in the market for a pellet grill and have been taking a hard look at the Grilla Grills Silverbac. http://grillagrills.com/grills/silverbac-wood-pellet-grill/

Smoking pork and chicken and maybe grilling steaks, mainly need it for more cooking plus I just want to try one out. I will be keeping my Akorn for sure, a man can't have too many grills right lol.

I've been looking at the Pitt Boss 700FB at Walmart, it's $396.00. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pit-Boss-700FB-Wood-Fired-Pellet-Grill-w-Flame-Broiler/52162941
