Found some matches.
Looking at purchasing a pellet grill and trying to narrow my choices down.
After a lot of reading and researching I have a small list of the following:
Pitts and Spitts 850/1250
Blaz'n Grid Iron
Smokin Brothers 30/36
I am looking at these specific models since they fit in my budget and have a cooking area that I am looking for while not taking up as much room as others. I have looked at MAK and Yoder but the Yoder will probably take up more room than I am wanting and the MAK One Star doesn't have as much cooking surface as the options on my list which may be an issue, and the Two Star is over my budget. I know MAK seems to have the most smoke based on everything I have read and overcomes the lack of smoke that most pellet grills seem to have.
My question to the brethren is, do the options on my list come close to what the MAK can offer? The PS 1250 will be at the upper limit of my budget. The main cuts I will be cooking will be brisket, pork butts, ribs, chicken wings and thighs. The brisket is the biggest issue as I usually get a 16 to 18 lb full packer which is why I am looking for something a bit bigger than the MAK.
Don't have a chance to check any of these out in person so using you all as my guides to help me with my choice.
Last info, budget is around $2200, will do cooks for up to 30 people several times a year, and wanting a pellet grill for the convenience factor as I have a 4 year old running wild and being able to do longer overnight cooks without having to worry about feeding the fire as often is really appealing, but I still want a good amount of smoke.
Thanks in advance,
MD
