Pellet grill reviews?

(1/16) > >>

Rob:
My propane BBQ is finally on its last leg.  I have been debating replacing it with a pellet grill/ smoker.

I was originally thinking Traeger but it seems like there are some quality issues associated with their move to China manufacturing.

I did some searching on this site and it seems as though there are many good options.

What do folks have and like/dislike and why?

I am leaning towards the green mountain grills based on what I have read.

With Black Friday deals coming up I am hoping to see a deal pop up!

Rob:
I should mention that I am looking for one of the more compact models (not a travel version) as I seldom cook for more that 2 to 3 people.  I would like to do a brisket though!

I have a Z-Grill that I purchased at a Sears outlet. The price was right, (under $300) and I wanted to try a Pellet grill. I went cheap to see if I liked using one, this one is still going strong. The customer service has been great, had a controller go bad and a critter chewed the temp sensor in half both replaced at no charge. I use it a lot in a normal year 8 - 12 bags of pellets (20 pounders).  :twocents:

I have the Pit Boss Lexington. Can't complain, cooks well smokes great and it has a lot of features for one of the lower end (pricewise) grills. I use it for everything from pizzas to rib roasts. Can't complain one little bit.

My Z-Grill is a 550B the smallest. https://www.zgrills.com/
