Who is grilling?

[Agross]

I had heard a lot of great things about them as well . Tons of great reviews. Right after I got it, like the second time I used it, the igniter quit working. They mailed me a new one. Then about month or two ago the fan motor stopped working. Again they sent me a new part. Then yesterday I got about 3/4 of the way through the pork butt I was grilling and the temperature just started dropping. Got to about 45 degrees less than I had it set and I turned the temp up quite a bit. It kicked back in and started raising the temp but wouldn’t reach full temperature, which was only set at 220 degrees. It was sunny and 55-60 degrees out with little to no wind. The grill is stored inside and cleaned regularly and the pellets weren’t old or damp. I called and left them a message. At this point I’d rather have my money back or a new grill. This is three times I’ve had meat I wanted grill and weren’t able to do it or finish.

I was in a similar boat. Although I will say my issues are all cosmetic. The only thing I was able to gather was the original GMG model were pretty bullet proof as friends had them for years with none of the rust. The new "prime" is what i got about two years ago. Its a rust bucket. First one rusted so bad in 3 months they sent new lids/shelf. Then eventually just sent a new grill and I returned the original. This one began to rust in roughly the same period once again. They sent me about every accessory under the sun and a stainless lid. Great folks but there is very clearly a flaw in the manufacturing process. First one was stored indoors. Second one sits outside under a cover and continues to look like it belongs on the deck of the titanic. When it finally falls apart ill be switching brands.

Primo Oval XL. Been a solid setup for 18 years and counting. Once you figure out lighting it, no issue for quick meals or long overnight cooks. MAP gas torch. Ready to grill is about 15-20 if I keep the ash box clean.

I will have my ashes put in it as my urn when I die.

Big Green Egg. I cooked a ham and did it indirect on the egg. I use Egg for everything except sausage. Masterbuilt electric for sausage. Once you get the damper settings and the egg figured out it will sit at the same temp for hours unless you change something.

I don’t know the name or, have any pics of my grill. But, it’s just a charcoal grill with adjustable firebox. Let’s you move the heat closer to or, away from the meat.

We use a yoder at least 4 nights a week.

Rotisserie smoked Turkey here, a medium sized 15lb bird....If its not tiger striped, you're doing it wrong

Did a leg of lamb today on the Kamado Joe (like a Big Green Egg for contrarians). Cooked it over indirect at 225 then seared over direct heat. No complaints.

Fresh King Salmon bones, collars, and bellies. The bomb!

Did 2 racks of ribs on the newish Pit Boss grill / smoker. Really liking the set it and forget it ease compared to the kamado.

That being said I’m really glad that I didn’t sell the kamado. That pellet grill can’t hold a candle (roaring fire) to the kamado for grilling and searing. Pit boss has there “sear mode” that’s kinda ok if you only have one piece of meat , but that’s all there’s room for !

Whitetail backstrap tonight. Note rust on main body under lid in photo.

 

[Agross]

That’s unacceptable if you ask me.

Been using the Burch Barrel for the past month or so and very happy with it....

I've got a 15+ year old Char Griller. It's very well traveled, been to a couple different states as well as Japan (twice) and Australia. It's not too pretty these days but still cooks just fine. Added the side mount smoke box a few years ago. I prefer real charcoal for steaks and the like, briquets with some fruitwood or alder for smoking.

Elk roast on my green egg yesterday. Quite nice.

I was skeptical buying a traeger, but my ironwood has been rock solid temp wise everything from -20 to +85 it holds temp better than I ever could have imagined. Cant believe I went so many years without one

I'm in Alaska and I grill year around. I have a Weber gas grill I use most often, fast and easy. Also have a Traeger that I use for brisket, spatchcock chicken, pork ribs and loin. I like them both but have been thinking about adding a Green Egg.

Forgot, I do salmon, halibut, and scallops on the Weber also.
