I thought there was a thread on here about them, but the one I could dig up is over a decade old.
What are you guys running these days? Pros/Cons?
I don't know much about anything except Traegers and people I know have had trouble with them.
I'd PROBABLY be leaving it outside so I'd need a cover for it.
go buy a couple and let me know which one you like best. I'm thinking of going this route too [Reply]
If anyone has any experience with PitBoss grills, feel free to chime in. The one with the 60 lb pellet hopper has had my attention for a minute. [Reply]

FIL has a GMG Daniel Boone with the wifi and really seems to still like it years later.
Love my GMG Daniel Boone. I have made some really good stuff in that bad boy. Consistent and easy to use if you don't have the time or want to tend to a stick burner. [Reply]
So us out in here in California have to worry about something called Prop 65 which is a list of things that have been known to cause cancer. Wood dust is on this list...and the bags of Wood Pellets have this warning on them. Having never used a pellet grill before, is this an actual concern I should have? Is there a ton of wood dust floating around? I would think it would all burn off. [Reply]
I would highly suggest looking at a Rec Tec. They can get up to 500 degrees which most pg cant. Wife and I got the bull last year and it is very well built. We love the thing

I don't think it'd be any more or less risky than being around Wifi signals and what not. [Reply]

They think everything causes cancer out there. No I'd have no concern with wood pellets [Reply]
I got the rec tec stampede a few weeks ago. Loving it.
One of my concerns was if it could replace my gas grill for searing. I ordered the grill grates with it and get better sear than my gas grill ever has. My temp generally stays +/- 2 degrees of where it is set. The wifi for the probes is awesome, I can check on the temps from wherever I am in the house. I have mine covered so being able to turn it on remotely isn't that big of a deal.
I was sold on the construction and quality of the components. [Reply]

This. GMG is far superior to Traeger. I can get mine up to 500, no problem, and their customer service is second to none. I messed up and let mine get soaked in a rainstorm, allowing the auger to get filled with wet pellets, which expanded and turn to cement (basically). I called them and they sent me a whole new auger unit with easy to install instructions.
Having used/owned both, I would recommend GMG over Traeger [Reply]
