I love how they put warning to not leave your grill unattended then have a mobile app so you can leave your grill unattended.
I have the expert combo unit does charcoal on one side 4 burner grill on the other , I’m in Canada 🇨🇦, thing works like a charm had it 2 and a half years use alot and it’s been great, thinking of trying this smoker out ,
I just got a similar one that looks to be the same but with a propane griddle on the left side. Neighbor had it on the curb for free and I have never used a pellet grill. Looks really interesting but I still been to plug it in(didn't even notice it had a cord, lol) to test if it works properly.
This thing is now 200 bucks on clearance. Regular price is 397. How times have changed in two short years
Lowes
I just got one of these! It was one of the ones that was sitting in garden center out in the open. I got mine for 120$! Thank you for reviewing this I know I made the right choice now!
Just bought mine at my local Walmart for 75
Qustion, does the daisy wheel stay open or closed when cooking marinated chicken breasts/beef fajitas..etc, thank you
Tom have you ever reviewed the EG flattop ? I just recently picked the 28' for $195 and I love it !
Can't get a simple how to start !!!! 🤡
People want to know how to turn on adjust heat up and down the basics that's it!!!
My buddy has one of these. His igniter went, and he called me.
What I liked about it is that the controller sensed the igniter not working, so it throws an error and the igniter emblem flashes, so you always know what the problem is when you get an error. Others do this too, but it was nice to see.
I just installed a new igniter and we had smoke within minutes..
His unit is already 2-3 years old, and it is completely rusted to shit! No joke. The flame tamer, the heat shield, the body itself, it is all one giant orange piece of rusted metal. He does not have a cover for it, so it’s always out in the elements under a covered porch.. Just something to keep on mind..
The one other thing I didn’t like was how incredibly slow it is. Literally worse than my Coleman and triple as slow as my old Traeger. And that usually bugs me..
For example:
My Traeger: 60-250 F in 6.30 minutes.
Expert Grill took like 22 minutes or something to go from 70 to 250F
And this also means, every time you open the lid, it takes more time to bounce back to temp.. Not a problem when smoking low n slow, but when grilling and constantly adding stuff and flipping at high temp, then it’s an issue (for me at least).
Anyway, it is what it is.. I’d rather step it up a notch, if it’s my money
Crazy how they go for $500 now I’ll have to get the little brother version for the $280
Mine only smoked in the beginning I can't figure out smoke mode? I'm using it first time rn.
Currently listed at CAD$468
Just bought mine for $169.00 at Walmart,Thanks for the video !
I just bought one for $140. I really like it. I have a modification suggestion. I have been looking at Bkackstones but don’t have room for another unit so I bought a Camp Chef 24” x 16” griddle plate designed for their gas burner stove. I took off the grill grates and the entire shield with the sear adjuster on it. I placed the Camp Chef griddle plate in the space and it fit perfectly! Level and about an inch of space on either side. I set the grill at 350 and in 15 minutes, the temp of the griddle was at 350. A few variations in temp toward the back of the griddle but no more than 25 degrees. Now I have a grill/smoker/griddle all in one.
Just bought this one today at Walmart for 159 on clearance. Gonna try it out tomorrow and see how she does. I filled the hopper and did a 45 min burnout on it and like it so far
I just bought this exact grill from a guy for $15 . He bought it, cooked 1 chicken and left the pellets in so it locked up the auger. I disassembled it, cleaned it and right now smoking ribs! I am tickled ! I don’t know how to link my phone to the Bluetooth though. Oh well, ribs are smelling excellent! 1hour to go!
So smoke just goes around grease pan into chamber
I got mine for 139. How do you regulate smoke,? Is that daisy wheel just for searing?
I got mine on clearance for 139. So it's a helluva deal
Worked fine for about 8 months, temp shoots all over the board, sometimes it says 250 degrees and there is no heat at all. Or the really fun part is when it super heats (like the kind that burns stuff down) probably gut it and use briquettes at this point. Total waist of money!
I had mine for about a year and looking to swap it out. Completely clean, with good pellets it randomly shuts off constantly and the temperature is about 30-50 degrees off consistently, about to replace it with a pit boss or a camp chef and put it on the curb
I literally just bought 2 of these on a secret clearance for 60$ a piece!!!
Was able to pick this grill up on clearance, brand new at 89.99 plus tax. Just getting into the smoking grills. Will upgrade later. Hopefully rust will be at minimal as I will store it in closed garage. Thanks for your videos.
I walked into Walmart, grabbed the handle and shook one of these. It felt like it was coming apart so I bought a Pit Boss,
I can't get it to regulate temp correctly. I set it to 250, it lights up to 375 and stays there.
I've been looking at the Pit Boss Lexington and their Austin XL, because my local Wal-Mart has them in stock. I went to the store and they had 10 of these Commodores in stock. Funny thing is, they're not listed on the website. They're selling for 317.00 USD. The smokers are all assembled and have been stored outside in the parking lot for God knows how long. After watching your video and reading the comments, I'm hesitant to pay that much for something that's been sitting in the elements. If I could find one in the box I might pull the trigger.
interesting design.. with a few changes it would be a winner. Definitely needs double walls for heat retention, exterior ash cleanout for the burnpot, and for god's sake, get rid of that stupid wheel so its a flat tray for grease to run down without getting hung up on that wheel.
Thanks!
great review i am thinking on buying one. one question does it do heavy smoke i want to do jerky and roasts? i have a pit boss vertical smoker and it produces heavy smoke. i wish i could only pay 2 to 300 here in canada they are 468.97.
I just bought this grill today and I’m so excited, reg price was $497 and got it for $317. Can’t wait to see how it performs and it’s my first pellet smoker
