Anybody try these yet? Knottywood pellets. They say @ Home Depot. Sounds different. https://knottywoodbbq.com
Haha, look how solid that door is when he goes to shut it. You can see him have to muscle it from slamming. Looks like an incredible grill.

I am very happy to say that MAK and I are working on my issue. They went high and above to help me. So I want to say thank you to Caleb and Josh@MAK for reaching out.
Hell yeah, if there was a company that was local to me that built a solid grill I would go local also. Nothing wrong with that grill, it actually is a good looking grill. I actually like that Outlaw cabinet smoker you posted. My dream smoker is an Ole Hickory, I don’t know where I would put it, but I have wanted one for years and almost bought one last year (The Ace model) but pulled back on that, but will get one someday when we move to our retirement home. I have had a thought of getting a small cabinet style smoker, was looking at a gravity fed, but the pellets look interesting. Cookshack has one and the Outlaw you posted looks interesting. The guy on the Pitmaster show uses a cookshack, Butcher BBQ (Dave). I was surprised to see him using it because he kicks @ss. I have seen him winning other BBQ comps other than the TV show. Curious, do you have a picture of the inside of your Outlaw? Wanted to see the mechanism and fire pot, if you got a minute. Thanks Dave.I would have gotten in line if I lived near Houston. But since Outlaw is just 20 minutes from my house and is also made of heavy gauge steel I decided to buy local.

Very cool! Thanks.
If you couldn’t spend more than $2K all-in (including potential shipping charges), what pellet grill would you pick?
I used to have the original RecTec, it was great, never had an issue, didn’t have a lot of smoke flavor.
What I’m looking for:
- Decent smoke flavor. I have a Drum I’ll use for most smoking, but want to have the pellet as a good back up option, or if I run out of room on the Drum
- Capable of grilling/searing. I’m going to get rid of my gasser and replace with this pellet
- Max budget $2K (so don’t tell me a Mak)
- Main cooking grate needs to at least be 22” wide
- Ideally American made
- WiFi capable would be great
- Easy to clean ash pot (my old RecTec was a PITA to take apart to clean)
- Pellet Dump
- Low Pellet Alert is a nice to have (in case I drink too much and forget to reload)
The Yoder YS480 checks off most things. I could always go back to a RecTec (now Recteq), P&S and Mak are over budget. I’ve heard a little about Outlaw and Smokin Brothers (seems like they aren’t great for grilling), and Blaz’n, but probably need to research them a bit more. Heck, the newer Traegers (Ironwood) don’t look all that bad.
Thanks all!

MrBrass, Have you looked at the Fast Eddy PG500 at all? Don’t know about pellet dump, but probably the most capable searing pellet grill.
I have! This might sound really stupid, but I don’t love the look of them. Whatever I get will be incorporated into an outdoor kitchen I’m building.

Which units look best to you?
I don’t have an issue with most cookers I see, but for whatever reason the PG500 feels outdated and a bit like a science experiment to me.
