Title: What's your current cooker?

The performer keeps sucking me in against my will.  It's just been convenient for my cooks lately.

To be honest, its whatever color/size/vintage I'm in the mood for or have a need for. These days I am an equal opportunity cooker. Windy days automatically go to the Master Touch or OTG kettles in the bunch but most of the time its a daisy wheeler that gets the nod.

Red SS or Red pat pending the last couple of weeks.
Vortex wings coming up Thursday so the black SS gets the nod.
I can't bring myself to vortex on the reds.

my modded 18.5" budlight kettle(aka buddy) is my current go to. i need to do some resto on my black gen2 performer and finish assembly on my gen3 copper performer(guy i bought it from never hooked up the gas assist). once done, the copper will be my go to for grilling and the blackie will be a dedicated pizza rig.

My performer gets almost all my cooks.  Once in a while I use my other 2, but the performer gas starter is so easy.

For grilling, either (or both, on rare occasions) of two 22-inch kettles (black OTS or green OTG). For smoking, 18-inch WSM. Like mrbill I may make the black OTS a dedicated pizza oven, if I finally get off my *** and put the PizzaQue together.

Blue OTP is my go to. Love having the table. Red OTS gets the overflow. Not uncommon to get two going. Target copper with an added ash bucket is for the rotisserie. Black econogrill for the kettlepizza. 14" 1880 for small smokes. 18" WSM for bigger smokes. Smokey Joe for lighting chimneys, while using the mountains. Q2000 for hot dogs. That's pretty much all of them. They all serve a purpose. About to replace the OTP with a blue SSP, thanks to @zavod44.

Wow, fantastic looking cooker!

it was quite a fiasco getting this one here, to say the least.  damage, customs duty mistakes, in the end it was almost free and earned the spot of the regular cooker. 

although the old 'cado makes a nice pair with this modern kettle, for the versatility summer requires.   :)

Picked this 18.5 OTG up a couple months ago. Been using it recently. Nice little cooker. Made bacon this a.m.

Bacon on the grill is the best!

I usually go with "Old Reliable."

Dammit! How the...sorry, no, that's not it, not even mine. How did that get in there?

Here:

(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2017/03/11/IMG_3071.jpg)



Usually one of these, with the 26 being the most frequent. The others all get rotated in. Right now, the Ivory MT is filling the far left position.



And it is "Fun Time" when this one gets the call.

would be hard to pick a favorite,

I do prefer kettles over the ones with tables, I have several tables I have made to use when grilling though, if it were not for that a performer would be nice. But Basically I just wheel out the one I want to use out of the lineup and go for it. I really think my 18 inch and My 14 inch Smokey Joe get the most workouts. After that the 22 inch Masters touch is my main BBQer. Anything classic just gets used to show it off.
