I looked at both last year. Sherpa has a price lock guarantee which is nice, but Freedom's customer service was way more responsive. I ended up going with Freedom and they delivered a day early. No complaints.

Disagree on it being a gimmick. The whole process changes the texture and deepens the flavor in a way a grill just can't match. It's a different experience, not just a different taste.

So you're telling me I built my nesting boxes at the perfect height for basketball playing chickens? That explains a lot. My roof leak fix was way less smart, I just slathered a whole tube of exterior caulk along the seams. It looks terrible but it's dry.
