Nzoner's Game Room>Pellet Grills
Buehler445 10:13 AM 05-08-2019
My old LP grill is to the point where it needs parts or needs to go. The wife is thinking a pellet grill might be better for her to use.

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.

Checked that out. Seems like it's only for accessories.

I get the concern and I was skeptical about them, too. My wife brought them home and I had to use them basically (lazy to go get other stuff) and really was pleased with how they worked. Maybe my expectations were low? I don't know, but no complaints.

GMG fruit blend pellets were fucking awful on the otherhand.

I will say, unless you do 225 or lower, you won't get much smoke flavor/rings.

Great taste though, and with build in probes comes out perfect.

I have tried them all. Now have an "egg".
Can do low and slow (well below 200) or sear the s&^t out of it at 800 plus.
Briskets for 14 hours or tenderloin for 6 min.
Bake Pizza on it as well.

But...the rec tec heats up in 15 minutes and no cleanup really and replacement. Kind of best of both worlds

I am a bit of a masochist. I like waiting and waiting for the pay off while the impatience grows........
Plus I really really like buying large bags of charcoal for $25 each and hickory for 40 a bag. Like a normal night at Temptations........If that place is still open

I didn't buy them all and try them, but I did buy one.

Bought the RecTec Stampede.

I didn't get the searing grate, maybe I should have, but we'll see.

I did buy a small shelf, the cover, and some Heifer Rub (FMB should be getting commission from this outfit).

That is not true. I routinely smoke pork loins and whole chickens at 275-300 and have no issues creating a smoke ring or flavor.

Im rocking the Barrel House Cooker from Walmart. This thing is fucking awesome. It makes smoking meat so easy using charcoal and you can sear a steak as well. I got mine for like $125 and I think at one time this winter it was priced at >$100. The directions tell you exactly what to do and if you follow those directions you just stick the meat in and leave it alone until its done. I love it and can't wait to start smokin meatzzzz.

Basically a Pit Barrel Cooler. Those are good at hot and fast BBQ.

Will do. I can't wait. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to ship.
