Any one ever use a pellet grill? I looked at them but was turned off by the high price as well as the high price of the food grade pellets.

Seems like a nice idea, though.

My friend has one. He loves it. He makes some good stuff on there. Everything has a smokey flavor.

I prefer my Weber Genesis and having a separate smoker.

I bought my Good One for right at $1,000. Best grill and best smoker I have ever owned...best of all you can grill and smoke on the same unit at the same time.

+1 for Komodos

I've got a large Komodo Joe and can smoke a brisket to perfection on it as well as sear steaks at 800 degrees. For me having one device that can do it all is worth the extra price. I can smoke a brisket for 8+ hours on 1/4 bag of lump charcoal, and never have to touch the smoker during the process once the temperature is stable. Komodos also help trap in moisture so the meat you cook is still moist instead of dried out.

I light mine with an electric starter and it's usually up to smoking temps (225) within 15 minutes, and at searing temps (800+ degrees) within 25-30 minutes.

Just to make it really awesome, I built and added a HeaterMeter to mine. If you are handy with a soldering iron and know a bit about electronics, you can assemble one for around $120, including the cost of the Raspberry Pi and wi-fi adapter. With that thing added on there I can watch & set the smoker temps from anywhere with my mobile phone.

On the subject of steaks.. the best method I've used for cooking them is called the T-Rex method and can be found here. I would be willing to put a properly cooked T-Rex steak up against the best offered by most steakhouses. Letting the meat rest makes all the difference in the world.

The Good One is a great grill/smoker. My only problem with them is that the small sized one (for around $1000) simply doesn't hold much food. I like a smoker I can do a butt, a packer cut brisket, three slabs of ribs, and some chicken all at once. For that, I'd have had to go up to the next size Good one, and it was like $1600

Good call!

The steaks came out great for a change.

Nice to have a grill that makes me feel like I can cook again.

Gas. Not an upgrade. Amateur Hour

It's ridiculous. Gas grills are perfectly capable of providing excellent results. All about the grill master, the quality of beef, the seasoning, etc.

I've had crap burgers and chicken on gas and charcoal. The things I listed are far more important.

Indeed.

Gas is way more convenient. Especially at my house, where it's hooked up to the natural gas line, and I don't even have to worry about propane tanks. Winning. No one ever complains about the quality of my steaks and burgers, and always compliments them. The prep is way more important.

I love my infrared gas grill and it makes a great steak, chicken, or pork chops...

Gas vs. Charcoal... Who cares as long as you're grilling...

Enjoy that new grill and grill-out most nights of the week!
