Just got back from Costco EH yesterday to see what they had. They didn't have the Silverton 620, but will have it later in the week, unsure of when. That seems to be the one to go for if you want a mid-sized Smoker with all the updated internals etc. The other one they had was the Century 855 which was for $1,399. Larger size (~30%), warming drawer underneath. I realized that the larger size was definitely a nice thing if you are doing meal preps. They had two other models as well, but their max temperature was 450 and no-wifi, and I wanted something that would do 500+ for good char/searing and a replacement for a gas grill. The common consensus is that the Silverton 920 for ~$980 is the best buy of the bunch.

Have heard some mixed things about the Costco models quality wise, and the price is still significant. The features that I wanted were the App Control and higher temperatures, but I am considering ditching the app control to save some money.... especially since this is my first smoker. Last year they had a Princess Auto Pellet Smoker for $350 which would have been awesome in getting my fix in... probably would rust out within a couple years though.

I have a silverton 610 which is the model without wifi and it is awesome… it is one of the most efficient models they make.

It is double walled like the high end models. I use it year around without issue.

The Wi-Fi is nice but not worth the upgrade.

Most of the issues with Traeger are user related and if you keep them clean they will be problem free.

There was some early issues with the coating on the silverton but that was years ago.

“Why do you need such a big smoker”

That’s just 2 racks of ribs!

Really liking the results on the New grill. Much better smoke and honestly way more stable temperatures.

Look at you go!! Nice looking ribs man.

Beauty, congrats on the new grill.

[killramos]

Thanks. Trying to find better things to do with my free time than play video games or watch TV.

BBQ seems to be a good balance / speed for me.

The phantom. Good choice.

I was going to get a Weber S-335 NG BBQ, but then the infrared side burner got my attention. Looks to be an awesome feature that has the same features as a side burner, but also the ability to sear stuff.

I don't see a Weber model that has it, so I was thinking of a Napoleon. I am sure eventually I'll buy a new BBQ ...

Weber adds an extra (high temp) burner for searing and Napoleon uses the infrared side. Both options have advantages but I don't think you can use that Napoleon burner for anything else. Killy will know.
Basically, you need to buy a Broil King because neither me or Killy will be able to handle the rejection if you choose the other's brand.

It's too bad the prices have gone so crazy because the Weber Summit is an amazing step up. I think when I bought mine it was under $2k and it looks like it's over $3k now. Bananas!
