Message: <blockquote data-quote="snow" data-source="post: 224385" data-attributes="member: 1056">Down this road last year.pellet grills are the shit,shopped them all,buddy has a trager,all kinds of maintence issies over the 10yrs he's had it,newtwo new fire boxes one new hopper/auger but its still ticking,his old trager is very heavy duty,the new tragers seem to lack quality,very thin steel wall construction compared to the old ones plus trager max temp is 420degrees according to trager rep at a cook out,not the best for searing steaks,wally world has the exclusive pit boss model,smaller drum but perfect for a couple racks of ribs and chicken,they sold for $195 last winter. camp chef and green mtn caught my attention but I wanted electric and the capability of searing meat,green mtn has the side sear option but is propane that reaches temps up to 900 degrees,passed on it as the $250 propane sear box was something I didn't want to deal with,after alot of research landed on the pitboss 720sl,works great,has easy hopper clean out feature everthing that the up version 820 has only doesn't have a smoke stack(no big deal) grease bucket instead of grease tray that sits below grid,nice storage below barrel oven with steel doors,30" barrel oven,gets a little to hot for smoking fish,low temp setting with smoke is 200degrees so I found that using a square of 2x4 to keep the hood open works well for smoking at lower temps,its really to big for just myself but great for family gatherings,I keep mine out on my 3 season porch which works great for grilling in cold or inclimate weather,for summertime steaks and burgers i still use my weber charcoal smokey joe(hard to beat) all the time,suggest looking at the pitboss bult by Louisana grills gotta keep these grills clean good idea to take the shop vac to em after 3 or 4 grills,fire box on these grills will load up with ash.</blockquote>
