Wood Pellet Grill...thoughts?

And lastly, keep the Weber propane grill. It?s much quicker and easier than the pellet grills.

I kept mine and use it for grilling burgers, sausage, steaks, etc.

I never had one, but that's another reason why I went with a sidekick. Going to be getting a dual fuel generator so I'll be investing more in propane anyway.

I did keep my Weber Master Touch kettle grill for when that will be the right answer for something I'm cooking.

Thanks to all for your contributions. Picker up a Recteq and really like it so far. I don't have the "smoking" expertise yet but, they make it a pretty simple operation.

In my small group of friends in the Springs there are at least 10 Recteqs. We use ours as ovens during the summer, plus normal grilling and smoking. You'll love it when you get going. Though you may have some frustration getting it connected to wifi. The app has gone through some changes recently. There are some complaints online, I'venot had a single issue since the update. I dont use the grill's probes very often, no good reason other than I have another system I like. I've had excellent luck with Recteq customer service the three times I've needed to contact them.

It was actually a piece-of-cake to setup, except for having to switch the phone app to 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi for the superior wall penetration capability. I found that the probes are close enough on temperature but, I'm still seeking better probes as I hate to disturb the temperature by constantly opening it to use a digital probe. Great recommendation and thanks!

Use Lumberjack pellets. Always highly rated.

I wasn't impressed with my Green Mountain until the lady at The Grillin' Shop on Arapahoe and Peoria told to use Lumberjack 100% oak and it was a huge improvement.

For probes, you can look into wired or wireless. The wireless are much more expensive but they are very cool. They tell ambient temp and meat temp from the same unit.

Meatstick or Meater are two brands- I am sure there are a lot more.

I've used the Knottywood Plum pellets and they are very fruity and add great flavor.

I hear that Costco has a Kirkland premium pellet that is just unbeatable on price. I haven't tried them yet.

wally world had LJ pellets $9. per #20

If you desire a heavier smoke flavor buy one of these, or similar brand Your local ace carries them, or amz. Nice thing about the smoke tubes, is....They're great for cold smoking cheese.

One of the reasons I bought a Green Mountain is it's lowest setting is 150 degrees. I was able to smoke cheese over a pan of ice, but a smoke tube is much easier.

I use one all the time, in fact, more often than the smoker.
