Was googling for info on a decent pellet smoker. I'll never use any traditional smoker that requires very much attention so it seems like a decent option.

Anyway, reddit had some pretty good things to say about the Makers Mark from Sam's Club. Anyone ever use one?

I'm currently strongly leaving towards it as much for the smoke tray as anything although the induction burner might be nice for searing. Downside is it's makers mark, but the reviews make it sound really well built.

another option that you should consider is the relatively new gravity fed smokers from masterbuilt.  probably what I would do in that price range

I have one that I bought around six years ago.  I hardly ever use it because you will have to babysit this sucker as the pellets don't drop down into the feeder and make a center hole and you will lose the heat setting if you don't use a small stick and push the pellets into the feeder bottom.   Maybe they improved it since then.

Is your auger broken?

No, the pellets don't slide down to the bottom of the feeder and leave a hole around the auger.  Bad design of the feeder, but if you stay out by the grill and make sure the pellets are covering the auger it works fine.

Did you get the one in the link or a previous version?

Also, I see I said "makers mark" instead of members mark.
