Pellet Grill?

Question

Pellet GrillI got an e-mail ad for this grill from Camp Chef. $700 on sale. This is a grill that uses wood pellets. It also requires electricity to run controls. It does not appear that you can use any other fuel. I didn't notice the cost of the pellets. This particular grill looked very well-made, not easily portable. It might be a good idea for a very serious backyard chef, as you can do low/slow for a long time. I don't think I could justify such a purchase but I would be interested in checking one out in person. Any one here have one?

I don't have that brand of pellet grill, but I do have another brand. I have a Green Mountain Grill.

Pellet grills are not cheap, nor are most of them small enough to be portable.

As far as being a good grill, I love mine. It can be used for low and slow or regular grilling like a gas grill... with real wood flavor. Pellets aren't cheap either, but not much more expensive than charcoal. I buy pellets by the pallet, so it saves there too.

I have a Traeger Lil Tex Elite pellet grill &amp; love it. You can smoke meat on it or sear steaks &amp; burgers. Pellets run about 12 bucks for a 20 pound bag and last really well. They come in several flavors also. I love doing briskets on mine.  Traeger also make a portable model called a PTG  check them out at www.traegergrills.com

I just started taking my Traeger PTG on the road. Did extensive tests with the PTG at home before hitting the road. I have a MAK 2 Star pellet grill for home use. Here's a few shots of the PTG in action cooking a half chicken
