  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 😂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?😂

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
