Those two are beyond my budget!

I've got a couple Traegers that have been great! ( a really old one that I bought used and a newer one). No problems. I view them as basically an oven that also provides smoke.  I also have a propane BBQ and a Blackstone.  They all serve their individual purposes.  In my opinion a pellet smoker can't be used as a do all cooking appliance.

Thanks Dan - you are a real helper!

I have a griddle that I love.  I can see a use for a gas BBQ too.  I would need to rebuild my back deck a bit to accommodate but that might be in the future.  Right now I am leaning pellet grill.

Hey Rob,

I bought a RecTeq last summer after seeing Chris cook with it the last time we were in Moscow.  I bought a Patio Legend after discussing it with Chris and we love it.  Give me a call tomorrow and I’ll fill you in on it after a summer of cooking with it.  They are on sale sometimes (right now I believe).

Had a traeger I used heavily for 10 years. It was a great grill for the most part, had its quirks but worked. I bought a pit boss pro series last year and it blows that traeger out of the water. Highly recommend the grill and the price point is excellent.

Pit Boss is from Dansons.  They also make Louisiana Grills.  I purchased one from Costco after my third treager failed.  Use mine a couple times a week. Great unit with great factory support.

Yoder 640.
Heavy steel so it takes a bit to warm up but once it does look out.

I'm using a Pit Boss Laredo 1000. Don't put meat over the center, it will burn. Thats really the only thing I've go to say about it. I control it with my phone, and it makes some very good tri tip, chicken thigh/leg, or burgers. Even London Broil roasts come out good!! I use apple pellets for fuel.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Pit Boss here. Going on 6 years or so.  Haven't had to replace anything.  Temps seem to fluctuate a little more than I like sometimes but I would highly recommend.

Going on 8 years with my RecTeq I’ve been very happy with the quality of their product and customer service. Just recently had to replace the igniter within the last year and they shipped me a new one for free. I’ve recommended to numerous friends and co-workers and all have been happy as well.

I love my Green Mountain...cook on it nearly every day and have never needed customer service. It does everything I need.
