    As a previous Traeger+ user, I've recently switched to Asmoke and my grilling experience has completely changed. The precision temperature control and the wide range of wood pellet flavors have taken my grilling game to next level. The smart design, coupled with ASCA™ technology, ensures my food is cooked to perfection every time. I also love that it's portable and battery powered, making it my go-to grill for camping and tailgating. Not to mention, it's eco-friendly, using recycled wood materials. For me, Asmoke is a clear winner in terms of taste, convenience, and environmental impact. I can't wait to explore more recipes and flavors with my Asmoke grill. #Asmoke

      Mill scale makes a well built smoker I do agree. But for value and price Lone Star Grillz has the best value and you can get a 1/2" firebox. And that firebox will never burnout.but I love the looks of the Mill Scale smoker that's how a smoker should look.

    I’ve gone to metal suppliers and I’m told every time that no one will carry the size I’m looking for...which would
    Be 18-22” diameter, 1/4” thick, at least 4 foot cooking chamber and at least a 2 foot firebox..all round tube
