    Opinions on Pellet grills

    I think Grilla felt they were loosing too many customers with their lak of a PID controller, hence the new dual version. It's just marketing sense, most potential buyers are convinced that a PID controller is better, so they almost had to start offering one.

    Diving into pellet grills

    There are a lot of Treager haters on the forum. I have the Timberline 1300 and haven't any problems with it and I am very happy with the grill. The new Ironwood is their latest grill, with the new D2 controller and brushless auger motor. I think you would be very happy with that choice.

    For those of you that rest brisket wrapped in towels, do you find that it softens the bark?

    I forgot to say that I always smoke at 225° without doing any wrap. I will pull mine, wrap in foil and then stuff towels, to fill the cooler. The bark will soften a little but it still stays nice and crunchy. This butt had been in the cooler for 4 hrs.

    Searing? (and RecTec)

    I have a Searzall and it's fine for just a single item, I use it for searing Sous Vide items but it does take a while to sear something. If you have a few steaks or more than 2 items to sear, I don't consider it a viable option.

    For those of you that rest brisket wrapped in towels, do you find that it softens the bark?

    Hasn't been a problem for me. I usually rest mine at least 3 hrs and the bark come out just fine.

    Camp Chef Woodwind SG or Rec Tec RT700 Bull?

    If grilling is important to you and you will do a lot of high temp grilling and searing then the CC with the sear station is your best bet. You are never going to get a Bull to grill and sear as well as the CC sear station. I know you said you didn't want any other recommendations but if you are...

    Searing? (and RecTec)

    I have a Timberline 1300 but almost all pellets grills are pretty much the same, when it comes to searing. The Grill Grates do help but your RT 590 is never going to sear like a gas grill. Why don't you pick up a Weber kettle grill and just use that for searing, that's what a lot of pellet grill...

    Thinking of buying a Grilla Pellet Smoker Looking for Pros and Cons

    I think the Grilla Silverbac Alpha would be hard to beat, in your price range. I have read nothing but good things about both the company and their grills. The other option would be just a little over your budget but is also a great grill and that is the Rec Tec Stampede RT-590. I don't think...

    Thick Cut Ribeyes. Smoked and Seared.

    I like to do mine at 200° until they reach 125° internal temp. I will let them wrap them, let them rest a few minutes and then sear them at 600+° on cast iron grates in my Kamado Joe, about 1 minute per side. They come out a perfect 135° med rare with this method and a great sear at the high temps.

    New RecTec Stampede Owner

    Bob, next time you do BB's try a 4-1-1 cook. I have found leaving them for 4 hrs and then only wrapping for an hour, they come out great with lots of bark and almost fotb. I prefer my ribs to have just a little tug to them, when taking a bite. Fotb is a little over cooked for me but everyone's...

    Pellet Dump/empty function?

    Most of the grills have a pellet dump for the hopper box. Then you feed the remaining pellets from the tube into the firepot to finish the clean out.

    Very Disappointed In Traeger Pellet Grill/Smokers

    The Mak controller is a PID controller, the Yoder is still the old style.

    WTF is Amazons problem!

    I had a similar problem last year and went to secondary authorisation for my account. If I, or my wife, or anyone else try to log in from another computer, they send an authorization code to my phone. It stopped all the problems.

    Very Disappointed In Traeger Pellet Grill/Smokers

    I have been very happy with my 1300. The only problem I have had was with the wifi connection and Traeger sent me a new controller and fixed that. Great customer service form Traeger also.

    Opinions on Pellet grills

    I would get the P&S Maverick with the sear station drip pan. My only complaint about my 1300 is it doesn't sear very well, even with Grill Grates.

    Opinions on Pellet grills

    If you are willing to spend the money for a Yoder you really should check out the Pits&Spitts. When I was doing my reasearch there were lots of guys that switched from Yoder to the P&S. If I hadn't run into such a great deal on my Traeger 1300, I would have gotten the P&S Maveric 1250.
