traeger type grills cheap versions

[300stw]

any cheaper traeger type pellet grilles, that work well.

I've found that pit boss is a good value between quality and price point.

I’ve got a Green Mountain, whatever the big one is, and love it. They aren’t as cheap as the Pit Boss, which I’ve heard good things about, but feel like GMG is as good if not better than Treager just without the name markup.

Lowe’s special pit boss has been awesome!

Are you looking for something to grill with or just to smoke meat?

love my pit boss from lowes. sear grate and a lack of traeger prices made the decision easy. been working great for 3 years now. get's used easily 50-70 times a year, probably more honestly.

though i do always walk past those z grills pellet grills at kroger and wonder... anybody have one?

My camp chef has been amazing. And I got it for about half of what a Traeger costs. I think they have gone up in price some though.

You can also just buy the pellet burner unit on eBay and build the box part.

Love my Cabela's branded Camp Chef 24". It is the old style without the "sear" option.

I wouldn't buy any brand without the sear option.

I just don't like the design Camp Chef uses and am happy I got the original version. Yoder does a really nice job on the sear option but they are crazy expensive

Not familiar with camp chef, just really like the sear option on my pit boss, without it you can't really grill. Had steaks off of others without the ability to sear, they sucked.

Heard from a local about one from lowes,think its the pit boss. She loves it.
Gotta find out if there is a grill too...........it has to have a grill option IMHO

 

[Nick87]

If you were looking to just smoke I recommend a vertical smoker but since you want to grill then pellet grill is your best bet.

 

[hank4elk]

The thought of pellets for anything but feed had me off the fence for years.
The reality of no local source for smoke wood has me looking at options these days.
The lil smokey just doesn't cut it....lol

The NM wind has me passing the firepit to gas grill often. Outside of ez,gas sucks.

How do these pellet smokers.grills fair in windy places?

I have a green mountain and really like it. That being said Pit Boss has come a long ways from when they first entered the game. I am not sure you can beat the price and quality they deliver if you are looking for an economical pellet grill.

I’ve got a Z grill 700 at our place in Montana that I got new at a very discounted price of $100. Works great

I'm in Albuquerque and my smoker holds +/- 5 deg. all year long not matter the conditions

My dad has a pit boss and I have been really impressed by it. The direct heat option really makes it more versatile than my Traeger too...
