Pellet grill people input please
NorseNW:
I've had some pretty good meats off my father-in-laws Traeger over the past several years and I'm debating getting one . myself now. From many readings and some eating I think I would mainly do large cuts of meats on it - chicken, brisket, ribs, roasts. Maybe some fish but not sure.
Looking at brands and I just don't have much to go off of. I'm not a huge fan of the Traeger only because they went to manufacturing in China. Other brands I've been looking at Green Mountain and Sawtooth. I'm not taking Traeger off the table completely so any input on these or other brands would be appreciated. Heck even if you got one and said the craze is a bunch of garbage I'd like to hear that as well.
Thanks

Im fond of my Rectec pellet smoker. Had it three years and no issues. I love the 40lb hopper, fill it and forget it.

I’ve got a green mountain, and love it. Have done jerky, all kinds of chicken, ribs, burgers, a whole turkey, steaks, pork shoulder, veggies, you name it. I haven’t used my gas grill since I bought it over a year ago. I cook on it 2-3 times a week.
My buddy just bought a Louisiana pellet grill from Costco. What intrigued me about this grill is that it has a searing section and cold smoking box.
Just remember too, there’s definitlaly a learning curve to cooking on a pellet grill. Give yourself extra time when planning/cooking meals! You end up finding some recipes you love and will cook over and over. Have fun!

I ditched the pellet, now I'm specializing in various grills, griddles, smokers and BBQ's.
Good thing I have a fair size deck :chuckle:
