Wood Pellet Grill...thoughts?

[whitewalrus]

I went with pit boss for my smoker. Their pellets are ok, lumberjack and others are better. If I am doing a longer smoke I use the lumberjack, if something is being cooked on higher temp or is wrapped in foil, the pit boss pellets are half the price, so I use them.

Green Mountain Davey Crockett, thicker metal and better construction. Got mine at Rocky Mountain stove in Lakewood.

for pellets, you can't beat the prices at sportsmans. Or, believe it or not, wally world.

I agree. I use the Camp Chef pellets that are sold at Sportsman?s in my Daniel Boone. Temps are steady within a few degrees and they burn well.

My grill fluctuates a lot on the Traegar brand pellets. I think they?re a little harder to burn, so my grill falls behind on the temperature curve. Then it dumps too many pellets trying to catch up. When they get burning, the temp might swing 50 degrees the other way.

Traeger pellets are the bottom of the quality scale. The rest mentioned above are all good. I prefer lumberjack for slow smoking and flavor. Pit boss for plain ol grilling. Regarding the smokers, I’ve had a green mountain and a Traeger. Now I have had a recteq for a few years. The tecteq is hands down the superior product. Built much stronger and their controller is far superior.

This has been discussed here before, I believe - and my take is that Traeger stuff is low quality, over-hyped, and poor support for customers and dealers alike. Haven't heard much good. Green Mountain is the name I hear the most thumbs-ups for.

Camp Chef Woodwind WiFi with the Sidekick. It's nice having that propane side burner. I have the griddle that came with it and a deluxe BBQ box to use it like a propane grill. The BBQ box gets incredibly hot, so I haven't missed having the sear side attachment. I think the BBQ box is more flexible.

How so?

Take a trip over to Proud Souls Provisions (two locations, Federal Blvd and S. Rio Grande St). Yoder, Green Mountain, Traeger...

I've had a GMG DB for 6-7 years and been satisfied. Next smoker will be a Yoder.

I know many who are happy with their traeger. I had a bad experience with one not working out of box and dealing with support really sucked. So back it went and I bought the pit boss and a bunch of pellets for still much less than I spent on the traeger.
