Thanks for sharing. Answered a lot of my questions.

I am not much of a ‘handy fellow’. Was it hard to attach?

I’m thinking you miss the point. A pellet ‘smoker’ (or a stick burner for that matter) should produce smoke. We know a Chevy is not a Mercedes but a smoker should smoke. I bought a BFG and while I love the convenience it is a bit of a pisser to have to modify an expensive piece of equipment so...

I’ve had my BFG for a couple of years and have been severely disappointed with the lack of smoke. This looks like a good solution. Don’t you find it sad to invest significant cash in the unit then have to modify it? Wish I had never purchased it.

Absolutely NOT! Smoke generation is a real problem with the BFG. You will find many posts on this forum about techniques to generate enough smoke. So basically, the BFG is just an expensive outdoor oven.

I have dealt with this for the last 2 years. It is a solid built piece of equipment but the ‘smoke’ is weak. My solution is to fill 2 smoke tubes with pellets and place them on the heat defuser. That will generate about 1.5 to 2 hrs of smoke. Cant refill tho...

I prefer bone-in. The only difference I’ve found is in the ‘ease of preparation’. I’ve had to tie up the boneless to hold it together. I have not noticed any difference in finished product.

Unfortunately I use the BFG and require 2 tubes to get adequate smoke.

This is an ongoing problem with the BFG. There are work arounds but it is very frustrating to drop this amount of money on a smoker that does’t really smoke.

The hex rod is for hanging meat, i.e. sausages and such. Be curious what you think of the smoke generation with you BFG.

I have owned my 2500 for a year now. Here are some honest observations. 1. It is a quality built product top to bottom. That being said I was shocked at the relative lack of smoke. I was an old stick burner used to a fair amt of smoke. You wont get that with this unit. Most every one adds...

I was cooking last weekend in the rain on my BFG. Living in Florida it happens on occasion. Just keep your hopper dry. A popup awning will help keep you dry, the smoker will be fine.

I have had my Bullseye for 2 weeks and I can tell you that its versatility far outstrips any gas grill. Plus there is NO comparison when comparing the quality of construction of a Bullseye vs any Weber.

Just what is on the shelf.

I have read this thread with interest. I am a former stick burner (Lang 84) and am used to a fair amount of smoke. When I did my 1st cook on my BFG I was so shocked with the lack of smoke that I was on the phone with customer service while I was cooking thinking that it wasn’t working correctly...
