NJpellet, I can understand your frustration, but I would suggest that if you're patient, you will not regret your Grilla Silverbac purchase. I purchased one last year, and couldn't be happier with it. I also had a chance to see a Silverbac and Rec Tec side by side, and was impressed by the...

I'm sure it was tasty nevertheless. I had a similar mishap my first time around because I got a little overzealous with my reverse sear. However, I've since done several that turned out well enough to warrant a Santa Maria Outfitters Grill on my wish list—that is if I can figure out a way around...

Welcome CG. No problems with CAN here. Heck, Windsor, ON is practically a suburb (due south) of Detroit. ;-) As a long time smoker not fond of "anti-social media," I recently became a Newbie here because this forum is a definite exception to the rule. SM nailed it saying this is "Just a bunch...

I got the same impression from several of their threads where the moderator seemed a bit overzealous in his apparent need to remind folks (and himself?) that he's "in charge." On one particular thread, a poster was chastised for sharing their experience with their new grill, because pelletheads...

Welcome Sens Army!

I agree, dirtsailor2003. From my own experience, not only will the smoke have no problem permeating the skin, along with brining, the skin also protects the meat from drying out. Besides, it's easier to remove the skin after cooking, and unlikely that anyone will ask for an extra helping of skin...

Are you currently grilling on either charcoal or gas? The reason I ask is that you might want to consider a grill for grilling, and a smoker for smoking.  You can get a decent no frills gas grill like a Broil-Mate 165154 for grilling...

THX, that's good to know. I was beginning to wonder if they rejected me for bad credit or something. ;-)

I registered at Pelletheads on the 7th and received a welcome message that same day. However, it is now the 12th, and I'm still waiting for my request to be reviewed and approved. Can anyone verify this timeframe as being the norm?

So far I’m thrilled with my Grilla Grills Silverbac. IMO, it’s by far the best pellet smoker going at that price point. Just broke mine in today with an incredible mole rubbed chicken and 3 equally incredible slabs of baby backs. And, if you care to read on, I've decided to share a more detailed...

 ...and in our case it looks like they're "Blue." 

It's okay Ray. Our landscaper couldn't resist hopping off of his mower to check it out, and then offer to help. BTW, brother never showed—as predicted. 

...and excited as heck, because I just got back from Grilla Grills in Holland, MI where I adopted a brand new Silverbac to replace an old Smoke Hollow LP that amazingly survived 5 Michigan winters before kicking the bucket. I can't even begin to say enough about Mark Graham and the rest of the...
