Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Pellet Grill

Im certain it has been discussed but a quick use of the search feature didnt yield much. I got a chance to use my cousins pellet grill while visiting him last month.
One would suit my needs. So what brands are good to buy?

I have green mountain and like it, brother has camp chef a little easier to clean

I have green mountain

I don't own one, but if I did I would buy a Camp Chief

I got a camp chef, it works fine. Doing a brisket with it on Xmas

I have two of the Traegers. I got one in Dec of 15, I think it is called the 780 or something like that. It has been flawless for years and still works awesome, never a problem from it, when I got married this year my buddies got me the Timberline 1300, great unit as well, with the wifi it's a tiny bit easier to control if you're out running around. Other friends have RecTec's and Yoders which are both high quality units as well. I honestly wouldn't mind if I had to keep using the older Traeger I got years ago. Does just as well as the newer one and was less than 1/2 as much. At the end of the day, you're smoking meat and most of them do real good. The newer Timberline will go to 500 degrees so you get a touch better sear on a steak and it is sealed better, but not enough that I'd spend the money, if it was mine for it. Scotty

I have the small and medium size Green Mountain grills. They work well for smoking and do a good job with burgers, brats, etc. IMO, they're mediocre on steaks because they don't get hot enough for a good sear. I've worked around that by smoking them at low temps for the flavor, and pulling them at 100-110 deg internal temp to finish with butter in a smoking hot cast iron skillet with results like this:.



If starting over, I'd buy this Recteq for $400 - it will go to 750 deg which should do a good job for searing:

Man, it looks like you nailed it!

Thanks! It's kind of tricky timing everything so they aren't over cooked...

Cookshack FEC100 or Yoder for me. Others need not apply.

I use this in my green mountain. Lots of sear

Yup... gravity feed..no moving parts.....

ATV does it work get hot enough in AK winter temps?

I have a Pit Boss that has worked very good for me. It's simple to use, easy to clean, and does not overpower the food with smoke like the Bradley I used prior.

Ditto the Pit Boss!
