Gas Grill Gripe.

[Ben Lamb]

Since we got a griddle (Grilla Primate) our Traeger and Vermont Castings LP get very little use. Griddles and sous vide make a mean pairing. Still times for the Traeger, VC grill has almost become a piece of yard art. One nice element of the Primate is you can set up 2/3 griddle and 1/3 grill or 100% grill or griddle. If we bought it first we would have never bought the others.

I spent years as a short-order cook. If I wanted to be standing over a griddle, I'd still be selling hot sandwiches.

You people and your blackstones - I don't get it.

The pit trailer gives you all the kinds of meat sweats.

Blackstones are fun but the novelty wore off pretty fast & I got permission to gift it elsewhere. I will real wood or pellet smoke Mother TX's beef or pork into the sunset. Hank Hill will just have to get over it.

the versatility of the griddle in sear and beyond makes it quite possibly the ultimate cooking machine. this is without doubt or argument.

but, the sizzle and sear of pork and beef fat as it is being lapped at by the flames of a propane burner and rising into the air to meet in the olfactory complex with the aroma of fresh cut grass and backdropped by a frothy burst of co2 from a cracked aluminum sided barley pop will leave a proper american man in need of a change of trousers.

If you mention artisanal hand crafted sustainable charcoal next time we share a campfire I will piss on your boots. And if you utter, "binchotan" it may get violent

Firmly in the Hank Hill school of grilling, sir.

Good day.

A gently used shopping cart & some homemade charcoal made from old railroad ties is about as bespoke as you want to get here.

Agreed. Anyone wanting to save a lot of coin should spend $22 at Wally World and get an “Indoor Blackstone.”

Ive got a big treager but if I just wanna do a couple burgers or steaks I use my reqtec bullseye, its weber round style but pellet fed. Its cooks everything awesome!

This is the poetry I needed today. Cheers!

Like many here, I have three grills on my patio, Weber Spirit II for quick grilling, 22" Weber Kettle and a Pitboss ceramic Kamado. All have their purpose and reason. But you can't bet a Kamado overall. Low & Slow to incredible searing.

I am looking as well. My next project is in Canada and I just started ‘very low carb’ carnivore diet.
I want a cooker/smoker, a vacuum sealer, sausage stuffer and a meat grinder.
But what is really needed is a consensus. Every discussion on every site is just like this one. They are all full of great advice and opinions. I leave just as confused as I started.
This is not as simple as ‘which gun is best?’
I am thinking Traeger honestly. Is that wrong of me?
