    New to pellet grilling

    Get an A-Maze-N pellet tube smoker and good quality pellets. These will add flavor to ribs, pulled pork, and whatever else you smoke.

    Timberline Ordered!!

    Congrats on the smoker. I’m sure you will be tickled pink. Of course you must post obligatory pics of the smoker and the food you smoke on it after you get it.

    Finally decided on Daniel Boone: a few questions

    I can certainly tell you put a lot of thought into your purchase. I don't own a GMG smoker. I have a Silverbac with a stainless steel lid. I had a stainless steel gas grill years ago that I got from Lowe’s. It wasn't cheap but it wasn't expensive either. I gave it away after two years because...

    GMG DB or Grilla SB

    I had to make a very similar decision about a year and a half ago. I chose the Silverbac because I was tired of smokers where the cooking temps fluctuated because wind and thin metal. I had an inexpensive vertical gas smoker and I had to use a piece of plywood to block the wind otherwise the...

    Which pellet smoker

    I may be biased because I own a Silverbac. I have not had a problem with mine. I really like the build quality and the fact it has an insulating liner. I’ve smoked on it when the outside temp was down to 17 degrees without any problems. If I had to buy another smoker I would purchase a Silverbac...

    Silverbac or Trailblazer?

    I cannot comment on the RecTec since I have not owned one. I am sure it works as advertised. I own a Silverbac for about a year and a half. I have been very satisfied with my purchase. The longer warranty and insulated cook chamber were big selling points for me. I rarely use the temperature...

    Poultry on Pellet Grill/Smoker

    Hi Mark, I had two problems with smoking chicken on my Silverbac smoker on my first couple of attempts; light smoke flavor and rubbery chicken skin. I have made significant progress but I am not quite where I want to be yet. First, I spatchcock and brine the chicken. Then I smoke at 180...

    Grilla vs Zgrills

    I have had my Silverbac for over a year. I noticed the similarities between the Silverbac and ZGrills smokers too. However, I think the Silverbac is a little higher quality. Looking at pictures on ZGrills website I see a couple of differences. This doesn't mean the ZGrill is not a good smoker...

    Casual smoker... Advice on GMG DB?

    I got my pellet smoker for the same reasons you are considering getting one. My first smoker was an inexpensive offset smoker from a big box store. I couldn’t control the temps very well, the paint peeled, and it rusted. Then I purchased an inexpensive vertical propane smoke. It was only...

    Traeger BBQ075 Flame Out's, Please Help!

    Could it be the pellets themselves and they don’t burn very well? This may be unlikely but it's worth considering the possibility.

    Pellet Grill Only?

    I second bdskelly's recommendation about getting a Weber kettle for the reasons he stated. I have a smoker, Weber gasser, and a Weber kettle. Between the smoker and kettle I haven't used my gasser in over a year. A charcoal grill takes a little more time and effort but if you like or prefer the...

    A question on pellet brands

    I use Cooking Pellets, Competition Blend. I buy them from Amazon, bit expensive. I have not tried BBQers Delight or Traeger. These are not available locally for me. I don’t think Traeger are the worst. But like most things in the world, you get what you pay for. I try to stay away from pellet...

    Congrats on the new smoker. I am sure you will enjoy it. Get some good quality pellets and perhaps a smoker tube if want a little more smoke flavor. Don’t forget to post some obligatory pics of the smoker and some of the meals you fix with it.

    Can't decide

    I have had my Grilla Silverbac for about a year and I have been very pleased with it. It has worked flawlessly since day one and is built very well. You don’t hear much about Grilla Grills but more specifically you don’t hear anything bad about them. I understand they now sell into Canada now...

    Now comes the wait...

    Hey Killa - I don't have a Rec Tec. I was considering a Rec Tec when I was researching smokers. I ended up going with another brand that I felt was a good value. I don't think you will be disappointed with your purchase. I am a big fan of “buy once, cry once”. Be sure to post some pics after you...

    What to look for in a pellet smoker?

    In addition to Meat Mopper's list I would add a couple of things: Manufacturer's customer service reputation Customer product reviews Return policy of the place of purchase Cost of accessories and replacement parts i.e. cover, igniter, etc. Bells and whistles - WiFi, hopper clean out...

    Wanting to purchase a Pellet Smoker question

    I have had my smoker for almost a year and I have never emptied the hopper. There are periods when I use the smoker frequently and then there are times I may not use for 4 to 6 weeks. My smokers sets on my carport but I always keep it covered when not in use.

    Grilla Grills

    I have had my Silverbac for almost a year now. I have not had a single hiccup. It runs as good as today as it did when I got it. I have used it in temperatures as low as 16 degrees Fareinhiet without a problem. It doesn't seem to be a pellet hog. Build quality is pretty good. I think this is one...

    Disposable solution for inside grease pail?

    How about a large paper drink cup, e.g. Wendy's, McDonalds, etc., lined with aluminum foil. Just toss the cup and foil when your done. I line the ash catcher on my Weber kettle because grease will often drip through the bottom vents into any accumulated ash. Lining the ash catcher with foil...
