Do some reading on, "pelletheads" forum before deciding. Just like trucks and campers, there are tons of choices. I went with a green mountain grill brand and have been extremely happy. Mine came with a wireless remote so I can sit inside in the winter, and keep an eye on temps. The newer ones can be had with a wifi board that can be used with any smart phone. You can turn on your smoker, on your way home. Like turbs noted, it's great to be able to fill the pellet hopper and wake up to smoked meat! I did 40 lbs of pulled pork for our school teachers last fall.
Rectek and Yoder are other high end brands, but expect to pay upwards of $1500-$2000 for them.
Final word, Just like campers, dealer support can be helpful.

Wonderful, Thanks for sharing. What type of smoker do you use?

I use a 6 rack Digital Bradley Smoker and really like it.

Smoked some skinless summer-sausage the other day. Great for camping trips.

So last time we camped we invited a fishing boat captain to join us. Best decision ever - he waded in from the campsite, thru the bait net a few times to catch a couple mullet & then turned the campground grill into a smoker .....YUM

Bought a cast net for my husband .... booked the families together again this October for a little fishing lesson!

That is next thing for the Bradley for me ! looks good. Do you take the Bradley with you on trips? I am thinking ours may travel to Nashville with us as we are using it the weekend before we head south.

My daughter bought me a Traeger early this spring. I wasn't sure what to do with it since I was a die hard charcoal guy. Turns out I have only used the Traeger since! Phenomenal ribs, pulled pork, chicken, steaks and hamburgers. Like Turbs said it is easy too. I highly recommend a pellet smoker.
By the way my first batch of ribs was every bit as great as any I ever had on Beale Street in Memphis.

I have been burning pellets for well over 10 years. Started out with a Traeger, still own a small version I use strictly for camping. Currently have a Louisiana Grill for home use. In my opinion at one time when Traegers were being built in Oregon they were top notch. A few years back the original owners sold out and the new owners moved production to China. They are now electronically the dinosaurs of the pellet business. Their controller is outdated and hasn't changed much since its inception. All the newer pellet grills are now using PDI Controllers which are far more accurate then the digital controller Traeger uses. The PDI Controllers are able to hold the temperatures within a few degrees of the set temperatures while it is not uncommon for the Traeger controller to drift up or down by 30 to 40 degrees or more. Most other grills also can achieve temperatures of 500 degrees or more. With a Traeger you are lucky to reach anything close to 400 degrees. Most other pellet grills also have the ability to do direct flame grilling ( great for searing meats) the Traeger does not allow you to do this. The bottom line is they all burn pellets, the competition has just passed up Traeger and made more improvements to their line of pellet grills to make them stand out from the rest. The competition in the pellet grill industry is a good thing and gives a lot of choices to the consumer making his purchase.
As another note not all pellets are equal either...I started using Treager pellets because that was all there was. I now use pellets made from the real hardwoods of the variety, ie..mesquite, hickory, maple, etc.. Traeger pellets are Alder based pellet that they flavor by adding different oils to their process. They are not a true wood as to the variety you are buying. They are also expensive compared to other better brands. Having said that I am lucky to have a son with a pellet grill business, I have never paid more then six dollars for a twenty pound bag of some pretty good pellets. From Traeger to the higher end Memphis Grills you can't go wrong in owning and using a pellet grill. They are all very easy to use and do a great job of adding flavor to your cooks. I am glad to see their mention on this site and glad to see the excitement in their use from the people using them...More Pelletheads is a good thing!

Looks so good. I usually smoke a pork butt on the big green egg but I am going to try this one. Bought the beef last night and will be great weekend treat.
