Clearly states in opening part of the video he isn't in any way paid by Weber.
Never cooked on a pellet grill never been around one cookin , but what grill dosnt get grease in the bottom of it ? My stick burner has grease in bottom , my kettle gets grease in bottom , my WSM gets grease in water pan when i use it. Grease is part of what we do , what we BBQ. Tragger got some magic grease sucker outer that i dont know about?
Grease is going to happen i seen nothing in that video that was excessive with the amount of protein he had on there.
Now i watched Baby back maniacs weber hype video and harrys. Now i went back watched it today. How can 6, 8 inch flames roaring out of the cooker be "cool" and just fine in weber hype video.
But when get it to your house a 3 " flare up in the pot , is im scared gone burn my house down , its unsafe gotta send it back ?
I dont get it ...................
My GMG has 0 grease in the bottom of it (and every other pellet grill) because of the drip pan diverting it away into a bucket. Very low chance of a grease fire if you keep that clean. I have had zero grease fires in almost 3 years even with it cranked at times. Saying that "every smoker deals with grease" doesnt make Weber's sub-par grease management design right in a pellet grill application.
The more I look at this grill, the more I see just a Weber Spirit that just runs on pellets. When I see it as that I don't hate it as much. It will work well as a grill, but be a headache going low and slow (in unmodified form). I think people were looking for a smoker that can grill, not the other way around. We wanted a true all in one. For the same price, I'd rather have a Weber gasser and seperate smoker, pellet or otherwise.
