adam Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 HI All,Newbie here.I have a large BGE and a Brazilian Oil Drum BBQ (wood).Fancy getting a pellet smoker - but the choices are limited living in the UK.Most of my first choices are USA only. Rec Tec, MAK 2 star general.Traeger are available here - but dont seem to have the best reviews.. Was considering the timberline 1300?Memphis Grill would also be a choice - but again - not easy to get here (need to go via Germany).Thoughts please?Want something big - going to cook Xmas dinner for 10 on it.Needs to go 600F+ ideally - or have a direct option.Wifi is desired.

Icefever Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Adam hi & welcome....I don't use a pellet smoker myself but I'll try to help. I'm not sure if you've seen this site?? https://www.louisiana-grills-uk.com/about-us Then Firefly have https://www.fireflybbq.eu/collections/gmg-prime-grills/products/gmg-daniel-boone-prime-wifi-pellet-grill-12v Ice.

Tabs Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Rec Tec are getting rave reviews over the pond. Most of the GMG crowd have switched to them. Not sure if there is an EU supplier though. I bit the bullet and went with a Yoder. If you want capacity, versatility and something that's as heavy as a horse I'd highly recommend any of their lineup.

Smokin Monkey Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I have a GMG, but not used it in years. Find then expensive on pellets, and if you look at ratio of Pellets to Smoke it’s not good as they are too efficient, and burn very clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I've just had a look and they don't seem to list them anymore. But A&O were just agents, the order itself came a place called BBQ Europe, think that's over in eastern Europe (Poland it Czechoslovakia). Took about 3 weeks to arrive from time of order. https://www.bbqeurope.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwi7DtBRCLARIsAGCJWBroS1sWIiBHiz4Bv5q5a8J82X4nCrZbXZK_ZPWR_UIv2bEFow747XYaArgvEALw_wcB I had a few freebies thrown in like a free cover and pellets. Plus a small discount. I went for the YS640 competition cart. Smidge over £3k delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabs Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 It'll fit a good amount of food on. I've had about 8 racks of baby backs on there with plenty room to spare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I have owned 2 pellet grills in the past both gmg, I got the large Jim Bowie and the small davy crocket, both are great grills but I just didn't enjoy cooking on them as much as my charcoal BBQs, my son has one and the other is just collecting dust now, they really are just not as much fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need another outdoor oven. Was considering another egg or kamado Joe - but fancied something different - hence the idea of getting a pellet. I do like the idea of the smartphone control for long low smoke.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is a good feature, you could add a flame boss, smartfire type controller to your egg and get that, not trying to put you off pellet type I used one and loved it just prefer my Joe and drum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Yeah - Im thinking this now.. May get a XL Ceramic (BGE or Joe) - and use a smartfire. Anyone used smartfire - any good? Wasnt aware of them - but they seem to cover what I need... Edited October 20, 2019 by adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li-T Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm looking for a portable smoker, but so far I've found these reviews. Maybe you could use them. If I find anything else interesting, I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I have the GMG and it works well. It is really only good for one piece of meat at a time so can be limited if cooking for a group. Fine for Tailgates with a group though or on a balcony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 No experience with this one, but seems a good price for an entry level pellet grill priced at £459 from George@Asda Pitboss700FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other options out there I should consider in the under 500 category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Martin Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) I have a Traeger series grill. I bought it two years ago. When I first bought it, we were very happy because everything is so new, it has been used for a long time, and some parts have begun to rust, so We searched for suitable parts on the Internet, and found what we needed on this website-https://grillpartsreplacement.com/search?type=product&q=traeger&options[prefix]=last, it looks great, it is still in use and is more durable. If you have any problems with your oven accessories, I think. . Well, there should be a good choice. .

I came across this one, seems a hello of a lot better than anything else I've seen, you are gonna need a huge boot to fit it in though. https://buffbbq.com/collections/pellet-smokers/products/bbq-smoker-pit-boss-tailgater-pellet-smoker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
