General Lee Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hi all. I have liked bbq all my life but a couple of years ago I bought an offset & have now developed a bit of an obsession with smoking. I have a chargriller offset, it a lot of hard work sometimes & took a lot of trial & error to get right but now get great food on it. I have just bought a pellet grill but haven't had chance to fire it up yet, hopefully will next weekend. Now I have found this forum I will be searching for any tips & advice.

Icefever Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Welcome and Hi again G Lee.....where about in the Midlands are you?? Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Lee Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Cheers smoking monkey, I thought of getting a better offset but I got the pellet grill because although I like the offset, i wanted something that I dont have to spend hours continuously tending the fire & also I had a great deal on the pellet. Hi ice, I'm near stourbridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExclusiveBBQ Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hi Lee, welcome to the forum! I'm also in the West Midlands and got my pellet smoker a couple of weekends ago for the same reason - I didn't want to tend a fire for hours on end! Although now I'm thinking of saving up for a decent offset smoker, just so I've got all the options covered... Looking forward to seeing what you're cooking.

General Lee Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hi, thanks. How do you find the pellet smoker? Where in the mids are you? is there anywhere for buying pellets local? I have some traeger pellets I got from webs for my pizza oven, they were £17 but if can get cheaper would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm over in Erdington. I buy my pellets from bbqstore.co.uk - they're a tad cheaper than other stores at the moment but I'll send you a discount code that'll give you some money off.
