You freak

That's not a bad little arrangement. I'd really like to try jerky soon.

Ive had some pheasant chukar in my freezer for 1.5 years now, you guys think it's too old to eat?

Should be fine. Might be a little dry if it wasn't sealed good but I doubt it. I buy in bulk so I always end up eating stuff from years ago and every once in a while I'll get something a little dryer then normal

I've cooked well wrapped or vacuum sealed meat well into it's third year in the freezer. Last year we cleaned out the freezer and I used 40# of forgotten moose burger at the bottom to make summer sausage and it tasted fine.

I'm going back and forth between getting a Traeger, a Pit Boss (which looks to be just like the Traeger but a bit less expensive) or the Weber Smokey Mountain smoker. I've seen a few videos about the Weber and it seems to be very easy to setup and start smoking. This has been going on about 2-3 years now. I just need to pull the trigger on one.

What do you want to cook with it? Any experience in BBQ?

I'm a Big Green Egg guy. I have the XL and use it at least 4 nights per week, usually more.

I also have a 36" Blackstone griddle on the patio and an offset Oklahoma Joe that also pulls duty as a smoker depending on how many people we have over.

I will never be without an Egg after finally owning one. My wife bought it for me as a house warming gift 2 years ago - best money she's ever spent.

No experience smoking meat. Regular grilling of course. Although I basically grew up working in restaurants and can definitely cook. So not worried about learning the ropes just trying to decide which way to go for now.
