After 10 years, I moved on from the BGE. I liked it, a lot, but the inertia to get it going and the hassle of feeding it for long cooks finally got the best of me. I'm moving on to a pellet. We mostly smoke, but we grill burgers and fish occasionally too. The grilling capability doesn't have to be stellar, but competent.
I've narrowed to 4, 2 imports, and 2 US builts, and I'm heavily conflicted. RecTec RT-590 and Grilla Silverback for the imports and Pitts and Spitts Maverick 850 and MAK 1 Star General for the US built models.
I realize it isn't an apples to apples comparison. I have to believe that the P&S and the MAK will be superior to either import. I can afford any of them, but the difference is $1500 give or take.
Please help a conflicted pellet newbie.
Thanks!
