I've got the ProQ and can't say enough good things about it.

Does the same job but with the two stackers as opposed to the one big one it offers a bit more versatility. I use mine nearly every weekend and have had great after sales service.

Had a look at the Bunnings version, the description didn't list a water bowl which is a very handy and necessary component for long slow cooks. Might have to check one out in the shop to see how they look in real life.

I've been on the fence between the two as well. It probably doesn't help that there is a $250 deal for the frontier and BBQ Galore. Would any of you take up on that offer vs getting a WSM and hoping for a Boxing Day bargain?

I would, $250 buys a few extra toys to go with it.

They had sold out by the time I got there. I ended up with a ProQ Frontier Elite for $459. I have used it 5 or so times in the past three weeks. I'm an getting used to the temps and vents and stuff. But very happy with it so far.

The Elite is a nice unit - if my wife ever reads that the standard Pro Q was selling for $250 she will gut me like a fish we paid $499 about 9 weeks ago.!!!!
But enjoying the cooks we have done so far.
