Pellets aside, no self-respecting cook would own a pit with wheels that small.  It's a direct assault on your manhood.

[Anastasis 23460]

It looks like a very cute smoker.

I’ve started following that dude’s videos a little bit.  He’s kinda hard not to like, in that “nerdy friend who you can’t help but kinda like” sort of way.  Gotta hand it to him a little.  He appears to have, at least somewhat, built a decent little business just talking about grilling and smoking and a bunch of shit relating to it.  He seems like a bunch of surly poster, only he’s been able to actually sort of monetize his hobby.  He’s like the older, generic, nerdy, white guy version of a kardashian and instead of fashion, he does grilling.  Kinda fascinating.

Kamado Joe also released a pellet smoker recently. Everyone's trying to get a piece of the home consumer market who wants pellet convenience.

Do folks really not have the time anymore to sit in front of their grill for hours and drink beer?

I thought that was the whole point of grilling?

Those uncoated kitchen grade ranch kettles at the end of the video are pretty sweet.

Hold onto your butt, sir. I don't currently, but I aspire to get there some day. That being said, you might find yourself a few chunks of time in the near future where this might be how you can spend a whole weekend.

Hold onto your butt, sir.

Butt.
Pork butts.
Weber

I haven’t smoked a pork butt in years
May be as good a weekend as any to fire up the WSM and get after it.

Bigger all-terrain wheels available as an accessory (according to above video).

BTW...apparently this thing is getting horrible reviews.  Even that Baby Back Maniac guy from the video up thread, who Weber brought in for a special VIP demo day and he loved it, has ripped it in a few different videos since he got his production model at home.  And there are sever others like it.  Glad I didn't rush out and get one.

I was actually thinking of getting a shit box pellet smnoker as a throw away from a summer rental house

Apparently Pitts & Spitts makes a good pellet smoker if that’s your thing.
