    Which Pellet Grill to Buy?

    Another vote for the RT590. It is a great value.

    Companion to the Big Joe Kamado?

    I have to give the Camp Chef FTG600 a third vote. I also have a Kamado Joe Classic I. The Camp Chef truly is two grills in one. I also have to give the Kamado Joe Big Block lump charcoal a second vote. It is some of the best lump charcoal I have ever used.

    Bad Seal on Draft Door

    On what grounds are they refusing to take it back? I'd raise enough hell that they'd beg me to take it back. I'd post up the name of the seller on social media, and get the 6:00 news involved if they pissed me off badly enough, and show the viewing public what their $1200.00 grill that they...

    Has anyone used the "Heavy D" Stick burner attachment?

    It’s been awhile since there’s been any activity in this thread. So I thought I’d post this up as sort of a PSA. Apparently, heating aluminum foil to extremes, can cause the foil to give off toxic chemicals that you don’t want to eat or inhale. Thus wrapping wood chunks, logs, etc. in foil...

    Brisket Buy - shocker!

    Wow. Sheesh, I honestly could not agree more. Took the words right off of my keyboard. Below is a prime brisket that I bought from Sams recently. It costs a bit more than I was used to paying for their briskets. I usually pay around $3.30-$3.40 a pound for their prime briskets. This one...

    Which pellet grill for the money?

    A Searzall will work, but it's slow and not practical for multiple steaks. Searzall is good if you only have a steak or two to do. It's also great if you're trying to brown other foods as well. But to sear steaks with it, while it can be done, it is a slow method for searing a steak. I...

    Smoky mountain weber smoker mods

    The cooking grates are crappy too. They'll rust out in no time. I have a Cajun Bandit door and the Cajun Bandit fire ring which is larger than the stock fire ring. I also have the latch, and have used LavaLock to seal at the lid and the door. But not the bottom section. My 22in WSM is a...

    LavaLock gasket.

    Which pellet grill for the money?

    I agree. The right tool for the job. One can remove bolts with a pair of pliers. Drive nails with a brick or a large rock. Turn screws with a knife. But why, when the proper socket, wrench, hammer, nail gun or screwdriver, are all available in this day and age? These steaks were done...

    Which pellet grill for the money?

    The right tool for the job. And this from the owner of a Rec Tec RT590. Pellet grills are going to leave a lot to be desired if you are trying to sear steaks with them. They simply are not the right tool the the job when it comes to searing a steak. Pellet grills are great for grilling...

    In search of new smoker

    Yes, the Grilla Silverback has about 100sq in more of cooking space than does the Rec Tec RT590. But none of it's cooking space, not one square inch of it, is under WiFi control. Same as the cooking space on my Weber Kettle is not under WiFi control. The Grilla has PID capability, but no...

    Which pellet grill for the money?

    You went the right way. Welcome aboard from a fellow Rec Tec owner. You might not see anyone with either grill that wished they'd bought the other instead. But I can show you someone who is glad that they didn't buy the other. :emoji_blush:

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    Well ACE has the large Big Green Egg on “sale” if it can be called such, for $899.00. That’s just for the grill itself with a single one level grate. The cart or “nest” is another $164.99. Then the side shelves and ceramic place setter plate for low and slow cooks are extra on top of that...

    Grilla Grills (and others)

    Have to agree. If it's only going to be one grill for now, well then the Kamado Joe, hands down. It can smoke, grill and sear and do all three well. A pellet grill, not so much. A pellet grill can smoke, and even that smoke will be lighter than from a Kamado. But it can't grill and sear...

    Which pellet grill for the money?

    No, I don't think I've ever heard that either. However I have heard, "I'm glad that I didn't get the bigger one." That's close.

    Which pellet grill for the money?

    I own a Rec Tec, albeit not the smallest one, and so mine was out of the $500.00 range. If you're going to spend the extra $100.00 and go with a Rec Tec RT 340, it retails for $599.00, you'll have a great pellet grill, and with excellent customer service and good build materials, in terms of...

    Which pellet grill for the money?

    Wow. Were you able to recoup some of your money from the Traeger and the GMG Daniel Boone? That's a lot of money tied up in pellet grills. Talk about "buy once, cry once". Looks like you bought 3 times and cried twice.

    You're also paying for warranty, customer service and support after the sale with the more expensive grills.
