This video was very helpful and informative, i was almost positive i wanted a traeger but now i see that there overrated.
Mate ripper review. I am in Oz and we are a bit behind you guys in the availability of pellet smokers but great to see what’s out there and an awesome review of the various brands and models. We have Z grills here but not the particular model you reviewed so is certainly something I am going to follow up with them to see if they will get it here. Thanks for a huge amount of work. I have been barbecuing for many years with a Webber kettle I bought in the early 90s. As well as an offset etc. Have been considering pellets for some time and this has really helped me make up my mind.
After watching this def have to go with the Gorilla grill although for the techy side the Z grill Was where I was leaning originally the gorilla grill checks off every box that matters to me for a cooking versatile stand point it’s a true all in one grill, cooks evenly on every part, low temps are a lil above the actual temp but not crazy high and, it also sears food well, not too mention the mobility aspect
Why Not Test the Weber EX6 II ?
I really enjoyed watching this. Not only is the information top notch, the presentation and editing is excellent! Very well done indeed!
Great video!!! Very informative like you I was impressed by the Grilla Grill.
I would love to see Pit Boss cook a 10lb ham!!! How long would it take to cook???
I am trying to decide between the Pit Boss Austin xl and the Pit Boss Pro series 1600. I know there is about a $500 price difference but I want the best bang for my buck.
Thanks for the awesome summary
Great comparison video!
For those of you interested in Traeger, you can often find the Ironwood 650 at the price point defined in this video. It is a step up from the Traeger Pro tested here.
The price-to-value goes to Pit Boss hands down.
I have the Pro Series 1150 and it's absolutely fantastic. Comes with 2 probes, ash clean-out system, 4 caster wheels and wifi controls using the PB app.
I feel like traeger has been coasting on it's name for far too long now days.
Nice work! Thank You!
insanely comprehensive review. Thank you! PS. Entered to win that Gorilla grill. Fingers crossed 🙂
Why do you never use broil king or include it in your testing?
😂LOL the Camp Chef grill also has SEARING ability. All you had to do was pull the lever and it would have crisped up that hamburger patty super nicely. I mean you guys assembled them how did you not know that it had SEARING function?😂
Can you review a green mountain pellet grill please?
⭐️Outstanding job thank you for your efforts 👍
Woah! First time viewer and spent 80 mins with you. Extremely well done and informative.
Why did you choose the smaller rec tec over the larger $1199 one. Doesn't seem to be "fair" to put the cheaper smaller one up against the bigger ones
I wish GMG would have been in the lineup. Good video though.
Pit Boss continues to be the best and Traeger continues to be overrated.
My Treger barbecued grill is going on 14 years old and still working but I like the Gerrilor grill! I am a 74 year old disabled Veteran and can't afford a new grill!
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.
would love to see a review of Grilla Alpha Connect Wood Pellet Smoker Grill
Seems like the grilla grills is best. Thicker and even cooking.
Great info but I wish this review had used the Recteq RT-700 instead, since that's the best model they have at this price point.
Thank you gentlemen for your work
I don't need another pellet grill, but I'd like to acknowledge the great effort here. I'd also like to add that in my 14 years of pellet grill experience that fluctuating temps offer the best flavor. Hot burns taste sweet, cooler burns taste smoky. Fluctuating burns taste sweet and smoky. Offsets with a piece of wood in different stages of burning, lets say from the low end to the high end, produce different compounds that add to the complexity of the flavor.
When it comes to cooking even, it's a good and a bad thing. If you can cook for eight and you pieces of meat have identical mass and bone percentage and shape, a perfectly even grill would be ideal. Since that rarely happens, if you have a hotter location, you put the big piece of meat there to get it to finish at the same time as the smaller pieces. Obviously you don't want a whole bunch of mismatched temperature zones you need to map out.
I mention the temp swings and hot spots because those that don't own a grill and do nothing but YT research are adding too much weight to these parameters with no understanding how it may work for them or work against them. I'd say temp swings are more important to pellet grill flavor complexity than any other type of grill. You'd get more smoky and better flavor in the winter or on a cool windy day because the grill is losing heat fast and needs to stoke more often than on a hot summer's day where the pellet use is less.
Its a pity that you compared recteq RT-590and not recteq RT-700. RT-700 marks more checkmarks then RT-590.
Amazing video! I guess I'll be looking for a pit boss. Great bang for your bucks
How is the Weber Smokefire not included in this?
Thanks for the video. Just order me the gorilla grill. My neighbor had it so i knew it was a legit smoker/grill already.
Why did you use the rectec 700 instead of the 590? It's cost is 1,199.
