What are you naming that beaut?

I was inches away from a RecTeq, but I ended up getting a Louisiana Grill (PB’s rich uncle) for $600 at Costco and then they gave me a $200 Shopper Card on top off it. So far it’s been the best $400 I’ve ever spent.

That being said, I am skeptical of some of the thin metal parts.

My first pellet grill was Green Mountain and it ended up needing a new auger assembly, two auger motors, a control board, two heat sensors, and a firepot. I would hade kept rebuilding it but the sheet metal that held the heat deflector and the grates rusted out beyond repair.

Post some gratuitous hero shots of some trophy meals when you get a chance!

I hr burn in at 400…increase to 475 @ 5 mins per side for this thick bone in rib eye to reach medium rare. Adding a grill grate to the tool box shortly. Tasty.

3-2-1 Baby Backs...just into hour 6. Temp control and timer on phone, I can monitor from work errands and the office, drop by and mind the process steps. Off work now & just started the sauce glaze....repeat in 20 minutes, finished in 50 minutes.

Those almost look good enough to eat!

Definitely an improved smokier flavor...an accommodating grill for our needs and busy lifestyle.

Good choice, you won't regret it.

My wife has pretty much commandeered the Pit Boss, except for de-ashing. She was prepping it for some baby backs this morning and asked me why smoke was coming out of the pellet hopper and not the stack. I get it shut down and removed the grates & covers. The burn pit is almost disintegrated. Came within a mouse click of ordering a RecTeq & thought...let me check youtube.

Pit Boss disassembled to accommodate a $16 dollar part that should be here Tuesday.

Wives Ladies love that shit.

Is a little overcooked, but it looks scrumptious.
