Haha yes I've got an Espeto Sul as well, it's a fun little bit of kit.

I've toyed with the idea of getting a dedicated smoker and just using the kettle for grilling, but I think I don't do low and slow often enough (or have the time at the moment) to warrant one. I've been watching the prices for the Bronco's for a few years and they have crept up a couple hundred dollars. Yeah not a huge fan of bullet style smokers either, but I've noticed some of the other brands can get pretty big discounts once in while.

I'm just waiting until I win lotto or something and I'll just get a Summit Kamado.

Ahaha, yeah a Bronco seems expensive until you start looking into Kamado style. Hell even the giant hooded Gas grills are ludicrous, but then they are the Ford Ranger of BBQ so I guess it comes with the territory.

I only do low & slow once in a while, but the hope is with something as sturdy as the Bronco it'll last me a couple of decades or more.
