And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Captain uses a pellet grill, and says they allow you to keep and hold a temperature rock steady
No matter how great it is I will NEVER pay someone to convert my wood into pellets and sell it to me in a bag. Maybe for a little more money they'll come over and cook yoiur dinner for you. This is just like all of the people who buy and brew their coffee in a Keurig machine and think they are drinking the best coffee around.
Use my Green Mountain Grill several times a week. After 6 years I’ve only replaced the igniter. Never had a pellet clog issue. You won’t do a brisket on charcoal where you’re going to cook for 16 hours
Only had one clog, used cheap pellets that sat for a couple of weeks in humidity. Pulled and cleaned the auger and threw the cheap pellets out. Never had any other issues in over 3 years. Bashing pellet grills or keurigs is ignorant, both of these devices simplify life. Still using a horse and buggy to get around??
When yer young and and full of piss 'n' vinegar, getting up every 3 hours to check your vents and stir your coals is not such a big deal. Also, cleaning up that charcoal smoker mess might feel easy-breezy. But for old men such as I, a pellet smoker allows me to keep on cooking with excellent results. Use what works for yourself and enjoy the food!
Traeger's are cheaply-made chinesium (at least they are now). When our deck is finished I'm looking into buying a pellet grill from www.smokinbrothers.com They're a little pricey but made in the USA and I've heard nothing but good things about them. No, I don't work for them...
My pellet grill was one of the greatest purchases ever, turns a chump into a champ!

ReplyDeleteCharcoal/briquettes must be free where you live?
DeleteUntil they get clogged up & go out in the middle of the cook. No thanks, I'll stick with charcoal.
ReplyDeletenah, jus build a fire off to the side for coals and put some coals under the meat. You can cook low & slow, FER HOWG...jus right.

DeleteOffset with logs. Pells don’t smoke the same

ReplyDeleteLook at the Smoke Daddy attachment for a smoker. Traeger doesn't smoke enough IMO but the Smoke Daddy do. Very wise idea from Alabama, I think.
