You seem intent on selling me a grill when I allready have the one I wanted. Why?
It's looking like you can't show that Grilla offers a 6 year warranty on their pellet grills. Nor does it appear that you were you able to find where they offer a no questions asked 30 day return policy.
I had a good idea that you would not be able to.
And actually no. I'm not trying to sell you anything. I'm just glad that your grill is yours, and my grill is mine.
The gentleman who started the thread was inquiring. Myself and a few others were giving him our observations regarding one of the product manufacturer's whose products he was interested in.
You attempted to compare Grilla against
Rec Tec. And, well, when the differences were pointed out, well......
When I was looking I looked at rectal tec err ah
Rectec along with all Pit Boss, Green Montain and all the others and after considering everything I choose the Grilla based on build quality, common sense features like double wall for thermal efficency along with cold weather performane and overall value.
You don't need to try and sell me a pellet grill. I already have the one I wanted.
Listen, I'm glad that your grill is yours, and that my grill is mine.
Look I checked out rectal tec when I was comparing prior to buying and eliminated them for something but don't know what now. Do they have double wall construction or do you need a blanket in cold weather?
Yeah, "double wall construction."
If I need it, then I'll invest in a covering blanket for my smoker for use in cold weather.
We all know that heat rises.
If "double thickness" steel is needed and is such a great idea, well then why isn't it on the lid too, as opposed to just the bottom of the grill, since heat rises?
Better yet, why isn't the entire grill double shielded if double shielding for cold weather performance is such a great idea and a necessity?
Why isn't the lid sealed tighter or a gasket placed around it to prevent heat from escaping in addition to and instead of double shielding on just the bottom of the grill?
In my mind, this nothing more than a gimmick. Intended to be marketed as an "advantage" to gullible consumers.
Look at any of the grill covers for sale, and they all cover the lid as well as the barrel or parts of it. Because heat rises.
I live in the northeast. You indicate that you are in California? Is that a correct assessment?
Because if it is, I'm betting that it gets colder here in Steeler country than it does in Rams country.
I've not needed "double wall construction" for smoking in sub zero wind chills during football season.
And don't feel that I will need it. Nor do I want to use fuel to heat up that additional wall of metal when it's not cold outside.
Do people in Florida also need this "double skinned" smoker?
Or do they sell a different model if you live in Florida or Texas, or Phoenix without the double skin?
It's "features" like "double skin construction for insulation", which at least to me, seem more like gimmicks as opposed to something which has actual utility, but that's just how I see it. Others may see it differently.
Which is again why, I'm glad that your grill is yours, and my grill is mine.
But on a side note, I wonder why Weber has never put "double wall construction" in their Smokey Mountains or any of their Kettles if it's such a good idea for "cold weather". They sell more grills and smokers than anybody.
I've tailgated in subzero weather with people using UDS type smokers.
I wonder why they don't use two drums, two UDS smokers, one inside of the other, for "insulation" when we're tailgating.
Maybe it was just overall value compared to Grilla. It was not for nothing I know that much. I looked at pretty much everything out there a year or so ago and settled on Grilla for the number of boxes that were checked off. I do remember that stainless steel in the right places, double wall construction and good aftersales support emerged as leading factors as price wasn't of too much importance to me. Some but not that high.
Again, and I cannot overemphasize this or say it enough. I'm glad that you are happy with your purchase, because I am surely happy with mine.
