    Question about Traeger/Pellet Grills

    There are a few pellet grills that will get up to 500degrees or so. Tec Tec Mini will and the Pit Boss does as well. If you add searing plates they get another 100degrees and seat steaks really well. Just as good as 600degrees over open flame on my Kamado grill.

    Treager Pro22 Series

    For the price I like the Pit Boss pellets quite a bit. The CookinPellets you can buy on Amazon are great too but twice as much $

    Pit Boss 820

    I am using a PB 700s, I experience temp swings typically between 220 to 235 when set to 225 with an occasional up to 240ish. I've never had it go into the 300s and would personally consider that a defect. Using the Psettings does help me maintain low temps better.

    Hopper cleanout mod for PitBoss 820FB?

    I have a pit boss pellet as well. In case you ever do have to clean the auger the grate will come out when you remove the screws. You essentially have to take the cover off the pellet hopper box, take the auger out, clean and replace. I'ts not as bad as it sounds.

    Pit Boss 700SC vs Camp Chef PG24

    I have the Pit Boss 700s and cleanup isn't a problem. Just remove the grates and heat deflector, no different than most pellet grills. They are made solid and heat controls well.

    Recommendations Please: Best Set It and Forget It Smoker?

    I had a KAMAdo style smoker for years and went to a pellet grill recently. I really like mine, pellets taste good and it's easy to switch between high and low heat. Cleaner overall and heats up quick with no fuss. You will need to add a smoke tube if you like a lot of smoke.

    Rec Tec Mini size?

    I had one for a year and just got rid of it. I found it a little small for my taste. Had company for 4th of July and had to grill burgers in several batches due to small size. It does cook great but I found flare ups regularly despite new tin foil almost every cook and cleaning the Pit.

    Pit Boss stacks up

    Wanted to share some info. On the Pit Boss 700s. For years I used a Big steel Keg and made many fine meals on that rig. It took an unfortunate fall from my upper porch (actually 2) and it was time for the BSKs retirement. Decided to try a pellet grill and started with Rec Tec Mini....excellent...
