I bought ours from Amazon but for some reason they no longer sell the Traveler .... the best price I've seen lately is at Walmart ===> https://www.walmart.com/ip/Country-Smok ... ected=true .... the Walmart price is the same with free delivery as we paid Amazon Prime back in March .... we've used a wide range of smokers since the early '80's .... the Pit Boss Competition Blend Barbecue Pellets ====> https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pit-Boss-Com ... ected=true are the finest we have found .... compared to other brands we have found they burn clean, are very economical, and are designed to be used with smoking a wide range of different foods .... Dansons Inc produces Pit Boss, Louisiana and Country Smoker grills its a solid company

I bought mine direct from Country smokers and it was that price shipped to my door.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

earlier today we used our Traveler to grill some chicken breast fillets and baked some potatoes .... not only did they both really look good, they tasted even better 8-)

we continue to be very pleased with our Traveler .... I just ran across an independent video on Travelers ===> https://www.loveyourrv.com/country-smok ... let-grill/ .... I find it to be an accurate and to provide some really good info on electrical draw that I haven't seen elsewhere

UPDATE :

as an experiment, I decided to leave our Traveler, protected by only the cover shown in the last picture in the 7th Post on Page 1 of this thread, sitting outside during two days of heavy rain .... as noted at that time, the cover is advertised as water resistant, NOT water proof .... that appears to be accurate .... everything from the outer metal shell to the inner workings got wet .... not standing in water wet, but wet indeed .... even the pellets in the hopper got wet and were rendered useless .... once again our small shop vac proved to be the answer to cleaning up the inside of the Traveler .... filled with fresh pellets, she's fired up and with the dial set on 400 degrees she will dry out rather quickly .... I consider the need to use a large trash bag, as seen in the 1st Post on Page 5 of this thread, to be clearly demonstrated .... experiment successful, lesson learned .. ;)

I just got back from our local Walmart where, based on a recommendation from a fellow I trust, I purchased 2 40lb bags of their Pit Boss Competition Blend Pellets ===> https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pit-Boss-Com ... 5/40583459 <=== for $14.86 per bag ....
just found a good deal on the same 2 40lb bags from Walmart .... per their website we ordered 2 40 lb bags that Walmart will deliver to our house for $29.11 ===> https://www.walmart.com/ip/2-pack-Pit-B ... /882061273 ... to qualify for the free shipping an order has to be at least $35 and my wife was perfectly happy to order an additional $6 worth of dish towels ;)

MAJOR UPDATE :

new Pit Boss Table Top Pellet Grill!

Pit Boss and Country Smoker are both divisions of Dansons .... Pit Boss has introduced a portable grill patterned after the Country Smoker Traveler .... this video takes a good look at one ====> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsYlWe3tgGA .... it is sold by Walmart and Lowe's (among others) and is priced on par with the Traveler .... that said it comes with accessories not available with a Traveler .... we aren't in the market for a portable smoker/grill but if we were, my first choice would be the new Pit Boss Table Top Grill
