2 Timberline 850's Vs. 1 Timberline 1300

I would go with the 850 and a Masterbuilt Charcoal smoker https://www.masterbuilt.com/collect...ity-series™-560-digital-charcoal-grill-smoker. This bad boy would be great for searing or slow cooking with charcoal and they claim it will reach 750* in 15 minutes.

I think my only concern would be I like using different flavor woods for different cooks. With that you are kinda stuck with the same flavor?

@GrossPerfection - Did you have the EX4 or EX6?

I would go with the 1300 and if possible keep the 850. I have 2 1300s and love the capacity and the versatility

I used to have 2 Timberline 850's. I sold one to purchase the Weber Smokefire and that was a disaster. Long story short I returned the Weber and am looking at a new TImberline. I can't decide if i want to buy another 850 or just move to one 1300. I liked the flexibility of two 850s but am also thinking it may be easier to just have one larger smoker. What are everyones thoughts? I have a family of 4 but more than 5 times a year i will cook for a large group of people. My initial thoughts are since they are only $200 difference why wouldn't i get the big one. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

What was wrong with the Weber? Why did you return it?

I ok with the software issues cause I know it would get fixed but the design issues with pellets not feeding and the grease fires because of the mix of grease and ash can be fixed with software. If I were u I would wait. I returned my SmokeFire because of those issues. If I can’t set and forget and pellet grill it’s useless.

Good luck with Traeger ever fixing software issues. They are clueless. Had mine 6 weeks. NO solution to grill not connecting to my router.
