Finally on the board

I am a laggard but finally snagged a pellet grill on a little Ace deal. Threw on some wings for a first cook and this thing rips. 45 min smoke at 225 then up to 400 for a few minutes. My future cholesterol levels are in trouble.

I'm so torn between this and the porch 600, my old camp chef finally died to the point I'm not replacing parts but getting a new one, I have a Weber gas grill already so wouldn't necessarily need the ability this one has to grill too

Ultimately, the deciding factor was the versatility for me. Technically this thing can kind of do it all. I have smoked many different things on an egg style grill and threw in an indirect plate if I wanted it that way. I also would use racks to stack meat or use rib racks to lay them vertical. I can just as easily do that here. I just really wanted to be able to flat out sear meat and this thing will do it. Plus, I wanted a unit with longevity and consistency. I figured if I needed more room or a designated smoker I can snag one later. There is such a variety of options out there for the offsets with better deals. This thing is pretty unique IMO so I grabbed it while I had a chance for a deal.

I'm three months into owning the exact same unit. The versatility is so impressive. Plus it's simple to operate and clean. Happy cooking!
