So I'm gonna buy a new smoker and was thinking pellets..just not sure which one to go with. I will use it for backyard bbq and also a couple competitions. I'm leaning towards a ys640 or a GreenMountain Bowie. Any advice? Price range is 1300-2000

Gonna play devils advocate here (in full disclosure I own several Weber Kettles), and just mention a few things about pellet grills. Make sure you have a good supply of pellets, as you can't usually run to the corner store and pick some up if you run out in the middle of a cook. Make sure what you buy has a great warranty on the electronics, as it seems many makes have some "issues" with some components. Remember, great customer service means nothing if you are at a comp with 4 hours until turn in, and your firmware takes a dump. The more complex a machine, the more things that can go wrong.
Good Luck!Once you go Weber....you never call customer service....
