Honestly, I want to buy once cry once and I'm coming from the worst experience having a Masterbuilt gravity 560 and I've narrowed my choice down to either the BYB1200 or FS1600.
I am going to preface I literally do not need this size of either pellet smoker/grill but I still want one of the two as my choice 😂
Only reason I am considering the FS1600 is because I like the bigger hopper capacity and I love the smoke stack vs rear vents on the BYB1200, additionally, the FS1600 is on sale and I can get it for only ~$150 more than the BYB1200.
Should I just pull the trigger on the FS1600 or save only $150 and go with the BYB1200?

Or maybe someone can sway me into just spending all the money and getting the x-fire pro 825? 😂

Thanks for any help or insight!

Hello all,

I would absolutely LOVE to learn to weld through self learning and practice at home but need and would greatly appreciate the guidance of the professionals here.

• what welder should I buy to learn welding? Won't be doing this for a living, but I want to be able to do things that will be beneficial for home DIY/repair, I.E. gate repair, custom fab for projects.

• best learning steps? Any particular welding YouTubers, books, is ChatGPT practical to ask/learn from?

• tips and tricks you wish someone could've given you learning from the start?

Honestly any and all guidance would be greatly appreciated. I really hope to get started on learning whether it be knowledge or skill based!

Thank you to all who can help and contribute 🙏🏼🫱🏻‍🫲🏼
