And i hate it.
Backstory: in a attempt to clean out my garage, and to dwindle down my possessions, at the beginning of the year, i sold a bunch of my stuff on Craigslist and other apps. Like a damn fool, i sold my Pit Boss 820 Deluxe pellet smoker. Then about a month later, COVID hit, and f**ked everything up.
The only other smoker I have is a Pitmaker Safe, and i'm not going to fire that up for a few pieces of chicken or whatnot.
Browsing the ads one day, i ran a across a Weber Spirit e-310 that this guy had for sale. $70. I called, we agreed for me to pick it up the next day, and BAM. I had a new-to-me grill.
I had to really clean the s**t outta it, as it was dirty and greasy as hell. But, it was now clean.
Bought some chicken thighs, and tried grilling those. I used a temp probe to try and get the temp at the grate right around 350. No way were you going to control the temp on this thing. It would constantly overshoot to like 400-500 degrees. it's only 3 burners, but if you turn one off, the temp just drops.It's great for cooking steaks, but burgers with ANY fat content in them ends up in a grease fire. It burned my corn on the cob with the husks on. It's ruined more chicken then i care to remember, I dare not make my own burgers anymore. Sausage is done faster than i can drink a 12oz beer. It's just all around a bastard child who's a pain in the ass.
I cannot see how people will pay Lowes or Home Depot $550 for this disaster. It has an enamel coated lid in black, with stainless steel around it. But to me, it looks like a waste of money.
So, last weekend, I took it all apart, cleaned, scrubbed, and even got my FLEX polisher out and detailed the hell outta this thing. The Black lid is now showroom shiny, the stainless steel gleams in the sunlight, the grates were sandblasted clean and re-seasoned. and this weekend, she's going up for sale.
What a God Damn fool i was for selling my pellet grill....
