I feel like traeger has been coasting on it's name for far too long now days.

I enjoyed this video, but just to let you know, I bought a Traeger 575 had nothing but problems. Temperature problems. took it back to Home Depot and they gave me another one. Same issue horrible temperature swings after six months of nothing but hell. Traeger sent me a Ironwood and picked up my 575. Had nothing but temperature swing issues with that. Also asked for my money back which took about four phone calls. They finally gave me my money back and picked up the Ironwood. the gentleman at customer service said they know about the temperature issues and still haven’t found a fix. After four years they still haven’t found the fix. I bought a Recteq. Love it. Temperature stays where I put it. Absolutely love the recteq.

Videos like this is why I love KZread, very informative, this must have taken alot of work and I thank you and your team!

That biscuit test is genius. I’ll definitely be doing that when buying a new model. Z grill I like due to small range of temperature variance. It stayed in the green.

Beware of the PitBoss warranty. I purchased the PB1150PS2 2yr ago and while doing a deep clean 4 months after the purchase date I noticed the finish on the top of the pit directly above the fire pot had wrinkled and burnt. The long and short of it is that after contacting The PitBoss warranty department, they would do nothing to honour a warranty stating that the finish was excluded from their warranty. Truly disappointing being less than a half year old pit. The only thing they offered was to recommend a high heat barbecue paint that I could purchase myself. Reading the fine print is something to think about prior to purchasing.

Why is Green Mountain always left out? they have always had the Newest features, at a larger capacity for a price that near the smaller grills price. I've had one and want a newer one. but hey are never included in any tests. mine in 2017 had the features that most grills are just now coming out with.

A note for some people - the Grilla Grill Silverbac AT, without the shelf extended is about 22-24" deep on the outside - for those wondering about storage. With the metal shelf extended (not included in the price), it's 30"...

What a terrific video. Nice Job!!!!! I am in the market and appreciate so much the work and effort that went into making it for us. I am a pretty experienced pit master and have had many grills over the years and I still learned. So thank you so much!!!!!!! Great Job! Oh and you got a new sub my friend.

I bought my Pit boss 1150 Pro in the spring and could not be happier. I will have to admit I did the following modifications. I bought an aftermarket flame diffuser, a plate that closed the one ich gap between the plate under the grates the end closest to the hopper, put a gasket under the door, lastly bought a blanket to cover the top of the grill during winter. I have had zero mechanical issues with it and have used it three or four times a month including during the winter. I smoked a pork but for Christmas and it turned out wonderful.

Just because I would have appreciated some time stamps and still might use them myself:

Hands down one of the best reviews I’ve seen on KZread! I appreciate you and your helpers time! Thank you

Thanks for doing this video. I have never used a pellet grill and did not know how much is involved in setup and cleaning. I can see where the pellet dump and ash pot dump are a must have. I have a great gas grill for burgers and such so I just need low and slow with even cook and temp. Now I know thanks to your hard work and time. Thanks again Richard

That was one of the best and most comprehensive commentaries on the best pellet grills on the market! Excellent job for all involved!Thank you!

Thanks for such an informative and thorough video. My hats off to you and your crew. What you guys put together was nothing short of genius. Thanks so much !

I really enjoyed watching this. Not only is the information top notch, the presentation and editing is excellent! Very well done indeed!

I have 4 Pellet smokers all deferent brands. I just got a Weber smoke fire from a friend that is moving and man I love that thing, it has such a different flavor something with home the grease hits the flavor bars and with it getting over 600 its sear is amazing. it is a bit different to cook on then any other pellet grill i have with the all ways open fire pot but i love it now

On the under $400 portable category I would recommend the Green Mountain Davey Crockett, I bought one after my friend had one for a year & we both love this grill. it's a little small but I can still cook a pizza in it!

Thanks David! This was super-helpful. I have been considering the purchase of a large pellet smoker and this video really helped compare these smokers! Thanks again!

The "Biscuit Test" can be done with slices of white bread, also. And this is a great way to learn how your pellet grill cooks.
