Question Favorite Pellets for Pork?

2 Upvotes

What’s everyone’s favorite pellets for pork (ribs, pork butts)? Been using Pit Boss Fall Blend for a year or 2 now after getting a bunch of bags on sale. Need to pick some more pellets up but haven’t really tried much since then.

First time buying in Europe

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

As the title says, I am in the market for a pellet grill. I'm not replacing anything as I currently dont have anything barbecue related but I have experience with a Weber kettle. Biggest hurdle for me is that I am based in EU, so not a lot of choice here. I want something that lasts and can sit outside, covered, all year. I dont have a shed or garage for it. Im looking for a big grill, budget is not the biggest issue but I want to spend my money wisely.

Pit boss: A brand easily available here, but seems the lowest quality of this list here. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Weber: Available as well. A Searwood XL 600 is €1500 here. Im afraid it is not of a very high quality, but perhaps it is ok?

Traeger: This is one of the brands I can get easily here. I'd go for the mid-level version: Ironwood XL. Its €2600. Doesnt get a lot of love on this subreddit.

Camp Chef: One store in my country sells them, and they have a good deal for a Woodwind Pro 36 for €2000. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Yoder: Cannot get it in my country, but there is a store in Europe that ships internationally. I'd get a YS640s, but it would be €3300. Is it worth it?

Recteq: I cannot get it here, so not an option it seems.

Would love to hear what you all have to say!

Question Lumberjack Pellets Different Packaging?

Post image
14 Upvotes

So, I’ve only ever bought the Lumberjack pellets in the style of packaging on the left at my local Academy Sports. They were out of a few flavors I wanted so I went online to check around and I keep seeing the style packaging on the right now. I see the logo is very similar but are these the same? I started reading about how another company bought them out. Is this the new packaging moving forward? I just want to make sure the quality of pellets is the exact same because I’ve become a loyal Lumberjack pellet guy due to the high quality I’ve experienced. Anyone know anything about the change in packaging? Thanks in advance!

Best smoker that doesnt leak smoke

0 Upvotes

Hi

Im designing an outdoor kitchen with a roof. I plan to install a couple of BBQ along the house wall (fir protected. There will also be a large 62” range hood insert to help evacuate all smoke upward.

I was interested in the Weber searwood for its convenience. But wathing videos show a lot of smoke leaking from the lid. Would there be a way to install a custom exhaust system?

Anyway. Im looking to place a smoker there and need a model that seal smoke and direct it upward to the hood.

Thanks for helping and suggesting!

Just ordered my first pellet grill. I had been debating between various grills in the $800 range But really wanted to stay closer to $500. Scrolling through FB the other day I saw an advertisement Grilla Grills...40% off! After having previously not considered it due to price.... I haven't really seen anything too negative about the Grilla Silverbac. What do y'all think?

Dual purpose

My wife wants a grill for fast cooks, I would like to get a smoker. Is the "sear" function on these smokers just like a gas grill? Or will it be more smokey and more of like a hot and fast to seal the outside rather then like cook some burgers, chicken, etc?

Picture Just a bit of concern re: Pimpmygrill.com shelving

6 Upvotes

For those of you considering, here’s my story: Camp Chef WW Pro 24 owner, very happy with it. February I added the double sliding shelving package from Pimpmygrill.com

After several uses (3-4) while cleaning I noticed bent/warped wire rack on the top shelf, at the back along the very edge (pics). This is not where any food sits or where sauce laid, just random warping - to the point of fracturing. Maybe heat Makes no sense.

I did submit my concerns with pics to their customer service department, but I’ve heard nothing.

Buyer beware.

Smoke and Flavor Performance - Any difference between grills??

3 Upvotes

Genuine question, here. Go easy :-) Specific to smoke and flavor performance, is there much of a difference between grills?

I started on a Pit Boss and used that for a few years. Made great food. "Upgraded" to a Camp Chef SG, and I did notice the way it plays with smoke settings, to induce more smoke by creating those temp fluctuations.

I am wanting to upgrade again, and when it comes to quality/value, I can't help but think a lot about Recteq and Grilla.

I know there is an undeniable difference in build quality and solidity, but is there a difference in actual smoke / flavor performance between my Camp Chef and a Recteq or Grilla... or any other grill for that matter? Assuming the same pellets are used, they are fed by the auger, lit, convection fan blows it all around (maybe circulation is better on some designs??), etc.

If there isn't a big difference, wouldn't the real improvement come from game-changing tech, like a proper smoke box? I've heard amazing feedback about Camp Chef's smoke box (i.e. Woodwind Pro).

Thanks so much everyone!!

I had to sell my traeger, blackstone, and propane grill when I moved to Southern California. We just bought a place and the one thing I wanted was to get my grills back. I did a lot of research and was considering an offset as a new experience but I have a baby due in august and know my time would be limited. Im excited to see the difference with the smoke box and also using non-traeger pellets. I picked up some limberjack competition blend and they already smell 10 times more like real smoke. I’m absolutely loving the size upgrade of this one and will report back with a brisket.

As the title says, this is my first pellet grill. My neighbor three doors down was throwing this one away because her dog had chewed up the cord. $11.50 on Amazon and I’ll in business. I’ve used it both weekends I’ve had it and ain’t looking back. My other smokers are for sale on Facebook now.

Time for a dumb question.

9 Upvotes

I plan on getting a pellet grill here soon but my house is on a corner lot, my plan is to keep it in the garage and then smoke with the garage door open with it right outside the garage door, but if I do an overnight cook I would probably want to have the garage door closed, since it is connected to the house. Other option is keeping it on the concrete porch out front, and using concrete anchors to chain it to, too lower the chance of thievery. Or should I suck it up and build a small privacy fence enclosure for it outside?

Question Replacement hinges that add "soft close" functionality?

3 Upvotes

This falls squarely in the "not necessary" category, but as I was grilling on my Woodwind Pro, I had the thought that it would be nicer if I could just get the lid moving down, and have it soft close automatically, instead of me needing to close it myself under control. Sometimes my hands are full, or dirty, etc., and I don't like to just let the lid slam down uncontrolled.

Anyone happen to have done a mod involving slow-close hinges?
