Pseudo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 So after much messing around with smoker tubes and suchlike I have decided to bite the bullet and get a dedicated pellet grill. Frankly, I am a little overwhelmed by the options. My budget is likely £600-800ish (I might be able to negotiate this upwards a tiny bit). What are the pros and cons of the different brands? I am looking at: Pit Boss Traeger Louisiana Grills Camp Chef It will mainly be used for low and slow smoking as my gas Weber will still be in use for general grilling. Any thoughts/advice/suggestions gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Hi Pseudo, before buying my Smokefire last year I was researching what alternatives there were around the price point and although a little over your initial budget, if it will stretch a little further the Traeger Pro D2 575 or the GMG Daniel Boone look well reviewed and popular Pellet Grills for that sort of money. I love my pellet grill and it has really changed the way I look at outdoor cooking and what I can cook on them. Good luck in your hunt and whatever you decide I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Justin Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 My local garden centre in Braintree Essex has/had a weber smokefire ex4 at a bargian price under £1K, bargain, I think it was 850 quid. I just do not need one. Probably gone by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudo Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Interesting stuff. Thanks, most appreciated. I'm still working out what features I definitely want and what I can live without. It is a lot to take in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Lol, one thing at time, suggest invest in something that will last and enjoy that before expanding. For me a Weber kettle gives you loads of options, lots and slo, hot direct and cold smoke and rotisserie, etc...... or a pellet grill like @sotv, who is the master of that round here i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I have hot Traeger Ranger c.400 quid. It is fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggy Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Loving my Traeger 780 D2. Does it replace my wsm… depends on what I’m cooking. Also bought a Kamado kettle during summer… been interesting 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
