I have the PitBoss Lexington now. I have enjoyed it but i have had some trouble with it. I have had to replace the control panel twice and a few other things. looking to upgrade to something a little bigger and would like to keep the price 1000 and down. TIA

If I had to do it again, I think I'd go with one of the new Camp Chef Woodwinds. It has a slide out for wood chunks so you can burn real wood to increase smoke flavor. If you want something to last forever, Yoder's are great, I've had mine for 8 years. No issues but they are a little over your budget of $1k. 99% on this board will tell you to get a RecTeq

Got one for Christmas and have had a great time using it. It’s my first non-stick burner/charcoal pit so I can’t really compare it to anything else.

I have the Woodwind36 and it's been everything I could want. Gives great flavor, easy to clean, easy to control, connects to wifi so you can control it from anywhere. It's held up well too.

Grilla Grillz mammoth under 1k or the Lone Star Grill if you have more to spend.

I have a Green Mountain pellet grill and honestly DO NOT recommend it.

Another vote for Recteq. I love mine.

im not a reqtec fanboy, I was given one & for what you pay for them, theyre not that great....
Nothing wrong with a Pitboss pro series, I have a 1100 series.
Yes it was 4 years go when I bought it, but was no more than $500, assembled & delivered included, purchased at Lowes
Zero problems so far,
I feel construction is better than Traeger, & youre not paying an arm & a leg for the Traeger brand name.....

Genuine curiosity here, but what did you not like about it?

I had a Green Mountain Grill for five years and rebuilt that thing every time I used it. It was a good grill until it wasn't but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
The wife bought me a Recteq Bullseye last week and I have used it once. The first cook had huge temp swings, SP 275 the temp ran to 380 then dropped to 120.
I am smoking some salmon today so I will report back if those temp swings were a one time thing.

That is wild swings.
I ended up grabbing the 590 during covid.
I use it a lot.
I have the app that tracks the temp and I have hooked up my Thermoworks probes to check for accuracy and it always stays consistent.
I wonder if the supplier for the temp control unit has changed.
They do have very good customer service.

Love my pitboss. Have had it 3 years and haven't had any issues.

I myself am considering a Zgrills pellet cooker with new WiFi controls or CAMPCHEF Woodfire.
If money was not an issue I would definitely go with Lonestar Grillz pellet grill or the Gator Pits hybrid Pellet Offset cabinet smoker.

I've had a Recteq Bullseye for 3 years and I use it multiple times a week. I love it. Mine holds temperature incredibly well.
