Thoughts on portable pellet grills

[G8trwood]

Doing a bunch of RV travel while I am still able and miss my dang smoker. Thinking of a pellet pooper as I have seen quite a few lately. Ninja (not really a smoker, but..) , pitboss, traeger, etc.

Something I could get dual use of to also use as an outdoor oven.

Appreciate any well reasoned comments , lol

Heck yea, I’ve never used one but I’d imagine they run kinda hot and fast but absolutely useful. I think @MileHighSmokerGirl has been running one and seems to like it ok.

I do have the mini Pit Boss as does @Steve H and a few others. It is a nice little smoker. I actually use that a bit more than I use my ReqTec.

Check out the Grilla Chimp 2.0 tailgater.
Big enough to do 2 large steaks, 4 pork chops, 6 burgers.
Has a top shelf. large enough to do sides in a foil pan.
Can bake if needed.
Has a Smoke mode. Probe included
Its on sale now : Grilla grills.
Shipped free, no sales tax.
The legs can be moved up and down. so easy to move
I got the Chimp 1.0 last summer .
Very happy with it !
BBQ LABS has video on it, on U Tube.
IMO: Small enought to be good for a small family and still do a decent cook !
Hope this helps!?
ELF

Don't have one to comment, personally.
I think @Quiganomics daughter got one to use.

Not only no but HELL NO.

I run an 18" Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker (charcoal and wood) and an Oklahoma Joe's offset (wood).

I'll never use a pellet smoker.

Weber Smokey Mountains rule.

Bought the Pit Boss table top model and honestly, I rarely use it. The grill works great, no problems at all. I think it's lack of use has something to do with that damn extension cord. But really, for an RV it would be the hot ticket.

I love my pit boss. It will be removed from our class A. And brought to the camp in the next week or so. We've decided to sell our class A. Never had a bad meal from that little smoker.

I don't have one, but I saw a good review on the Green Mountain Trek. Amazing Ribs gives it their highest award, Platinum.

I need to revamp my space allotment, most of these look the size of the old costco traeger 22”?

Ummm ok , wow I run an 84D Lang, A 270 Smokers charcoal cabinet, a Smokin Tex electric and a Weber Kettle AND I'm considering a pellet grill for quicker cooks when I have little time. They all serve a purpose. Relative to OP question I used to have an original Traegar Tailgater and it had terrible temp swings. I'm sure things have improved since then. I can see a,portable being very useful

I have the portable GMG (Davy Crocket version) and it is a nice little smoker/Grill. It is 70lbs with pellets so pretty much a 2 person lift.

I am considering getting this one to try as it's a bit more compact than the GMG (also had it 10+ years now so its getting time), ie same footprint as the pit boss, Traeger, z-grill, ie all the briefcase grills, the exception is this has a domed lid so you can cook a small turkey if you wanted.

Would love to hear any reports on this one if anyone has one?
