    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    Just over $1000 CAD but I think I'm settled on getting the Masterbuilt Gravity 1050 charcoal grill. I just need to figure out what kind of shelter it's going to live in.

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    I reached out to Masterbuilt today and they were very quick to advise the following: "The paint peeling issue has been resolved with the new hopper middle and upper assembly being porcelain coated. We have updated some of the components including the switches, hopper, and charcoal grate to...

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    Haha well OK! My condescending tone detector seems to be providing a warning message! I'm in no rush to buy a grill. I can pull the plug whenever, really. I have no immediate need to replace my grill and it makes sense to me to not be a buyer of 1st gen technology, when that's possible and...

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    I didn't mean to give the impression that it's not simple enough for me but rather my concern is about the ease and timeliness of being able to fire it up especially compared with a gas grill. I know so little about grilling with charcoal. Also, I want to buy something that will last for...

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    That's an interesting perspective! Thank you for your insight. I'm pretty handy and like to think that I can fix just about anything but I've read a lot of negative feedback regarding the quality of these grills. I wonder if I wait 6 months or so they might have fixed some of the problems...

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    Yeah I did see that already but I can't help but be a bit skeptical. The more I read about them, the more I like the idea. I have read many reviews indicating there are quality issues with the paint, switches and fan though. Also, the one year warranty leaves a bit to be desired. I wonder if...

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    This is very interested feedback. Thank you. I read things about the pellet grills along the lines of what you're saying so it's not a complete surprise to hear that. I'm really gun shy about the charcoal grills especially because my significant other uses it and she's already told me that...

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    You're right - they're not WiFi.....yet. I reached out to them a couple of weeks ago to see if they planned to incorporate that technology but have yet to get a response.

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    These are really cool! I'm not sure I can live with the extra time and effort required to light them, though. It's one of those things that's hard to gauge without actually trying it. I think we need something that can be easily ignited where this will replace our everyday grill. Thanks for...

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    They look really nice. Unfortunately they no longer ship to Canada. I'm uncertain about the inability to have direct flame cooking but they claim to have the ability to sear regardless, so it may not be an issue.

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    OMG Yoder is way over my budget! I guess I should've mentioned that I want to spend not much more than $1000 CAD tops.

    Should I Buy a Pellet Grill?

    Appreciate the feedback. I'm only looking for cast because I know from experience how long they last. I'm here for opinions and suggestions so I can certainly be persuaded to look down other avenues.
