Pellet Grills
My old LP grill is to the point where it needs parts or needs to go. The wife is thinking a pellet grill might be better for her to use.
I thought there was a thread on here about them, but the one I could dig up is over a decade old. What are you guys running these days? Pros/Cons? I don't know much about anything except Traegers and people I know have had trouble with them. I'd PROBABLY be leaving it outside so I'd need a cover for it. |
I got a Traeger during prime days last year. We really like it. Variety of cooking and smoking. However, it does take longer to heat up and isn't as convenient.

I have a Traeger. Works well, doesn’t get above 350 though. If you want sear marks you’re not getting it on a Traeger, at least on mine anyways. I’ve had it for five or so years, without any mechanical issues.
I will be glad when it dies though. I want a Yoder Pellet grill. Made in Hutchinson, KS. Expensive, can cold smoke, sear. It’s been a while since I’ve researched them so maybe they’ve changed in the quality department. |
I've had a Green Mountain for a couple of years and absolutely love it.

Traegers rock. Make sure you cover them though as the pellets turn to concrete and destroy the grill.

Weber Smokey Mountain hands down.
You’ll also save a shit ton of money |
My Traeger is awesome.

The timing of this thread is so bizarre. After weeks of debating if we wanted to spend the money on a grill we don't really need (I have a fully functional Chargriller), we decided to pull the trigger on a Camp Chef Magnum Dual Function. It had some amazing features. The smoker obviously, a slide handle that lets you switch from direct heat to indirect heat on the grill, 2 built in thermometers, a viewing window for both the grill and the hopper and a bottle opener for your beer. I get it on Monday and I'm so excited to try it out!

I had a Louisiana Grill. **** that thing with irrigation pipe. It jammed, set on fire, you name it.
I went with a Traeger. We grill 3-4 times a week, smoke at least once, and I have never had a problem over the last 3-4 years. My dad has a first gen Traeger that’s rusted out, and it still works well just fine. I don’t know why people say they have problems with them. We’re just lucky I guess. |
I think Traegar's are alright, but not worth what you're spending. Have heard a lot of good things about rectec grills.

The other problem or at least with mine is the hot rod ignitor burning out or the in line fuse blowing. All above easy fixes. |
