As a person who loves to grill and BBQ I am always looking for new thing to write about on my website Bettergrills.com and to accomplish this I do a lot of reading.
The last year I have been reading more and more about pellet grills and how many people like them and replaced their old wood fueled smoker with one of these fancy electric and pellet fueled smokers.
I have found many people who love them and use them over and over again, but I also found people who would never use them again.
Reasons people like pellet smokers
- Easy to use
- No charcoal or gas
- Constant temperature
Reasons that people do not use pellet smokers
- Expensive
- Electronic Failures
- Not enough smoke
Although I have no pellet smoker myself I have been able to use a few of them an had a good look at them.
Doing this I came to a few conclusions and here is my opinion about pellet smokers.
There are three price ranges and I would call them affordable, Medium priced and high priced.
- The affordable ones most of the time have cheaper electric component and one of them is the controller.
- The medium priced come with a little better components and keep a more steady temperature
- The higher priced have in most cases better electric components and perform better.
All the news we found made me realize that I have to do some pellet grill reviews on better grills and you can find them here:
There are a few brands that are better known or have been around for a while now and that are:
- Treager
- Rec Tec
- Camp Chef
- Green Mountain
- Z-Grills
- Bradley
I did a few reviews already and to be honest was surprised by the positive opinions about most of them.
I think that pellet grills will become more and more popular because of the fact that they are easy to use. There still have to be some updates made to keep them from failing but in my opinion electronics and outdoors can only be a combination in high quality products.
If you have an opinion about pellet grills and smokers feel free to leave a comment here on the website.
