Beef Supreme dropping truth bombs like they are HOT! :-)

Seriously though, im not anti those types of grills I want a real smoker that takes effort to get just right...otherwise what excuse do i have to get some quiet time outside with the smoker/grill?

I am sure it would go something like this.....


Wife: Hey hon, can you help me with these dishes?

Me: Cant, gotta keep an eye on the grill

Wife: isnt that why we got a pellet grill?

Me: Runs outside and hides while "almost" twisting my knee


If i do not have a pellet grill....I can simply nod at her, then the grill/smoker outside and shrug while im cracking open a fresh beer and say "sorry, cant let the food burn or dry out"

#WINNING!!!!!

Not grills. Smokers/convection ovens. At low temps, they produce significant smoke.

Ehhh, to be honest I was just quoting a friend who bought one. He is a great cook and grills a killer steak. He was having buyers remorse, and ready to go back to his old Weber egg.

It's good to have multiple types of grills/smokers/convection ovens.

My only problem with the pellet grills is they lack the charcoal flavor. I definitely like the ease of use though.

I have owned a pellet (trager), a smoker, a 2 natural gas grills over the past 10 years. I bought a Green Egg 18 months ago. I got rid of everything else after 4 months. For me there is nothing that has even come close. I am still amazed at how easy it is to keep the temp at 225 for 16 hours or cranking it up to 700 plus for the best damn seared tenderloin I have ever been able to make. I even wood fire Pizza on the damn thing.
It is not as "convenient" as the gasser but grilling has now returned to being a hobby and the passion has returned.

I'm actually the opposite. If I'm going low and slow than I'd rather not have charcoal flavor and would rather have the wood blend.

I am in the same boat and once my house is built ill be getting either a BGE or a Kamado Joe (or however its spelled). I wasnt kidding about my previous post.... For me, pellet "grills" are the equivalent of putting out deer corn...sure it works but is it REALLY a victory? IF your wanting it to be that easy, just pay someone else to do it.

On second thought, are there any threads on BGE/Kamado and such?

I've seen charcoal pellets.

Where at?

To each his own, I don't agree.

This looks pretty interesting to me. Charcoal with the ease of a pellet.

FWIW, I've used Traeger, Camp Chef and Rec Tec Pellets. The Rec Tec ones make far less dust than the other 2. That's what I'm using hence forth.

I have a Kamado Joe with the iKamand (PID controller) that’s allows me to get the high smoke flavor I want with the ease of a pellet grill. I couple that with a ThermoWorks “Signals” Wifi temp monitor for a backup. It really feels like cheating.
