I can get crispy skin chicken, without using the direct grill. Just crank heat to 400, and cook it. Just as good as if it had been done on the vortex. |

The Official Pellet Grill Smoker thread.

You know what’s been kind of interesting to watch... being that Pitts and Spitts pellet grills are fairly new AND being that there are more and more owners on their FB fan page, I am seeing a number of guys report that with the colder weather the grills are not coming up to temp quick enough... to the point the controller thinks there is a flame out and shuts down (I think I have that correct). My point being, I think this ultra thick steel on a pellet cooker can be a double edged sword as it’s a LOT of steel to heat every time you fire up the cooker. Just my opinion, but I think you actually get better performance on a pellet grill with a thinner gauge of steel... or of course an insulated cooking chamber.

I have used my Yoder in sub zero temps, with no issues. Normally uses between 1.25 to 2 lbs an hour. I would say it is a controller issue on the Pitts and Spitts, not the thickness of the steel.

I have a Pitts and Spitts Maverick 1250 and have cooked in pretty cold weather (40s) with no issue. I’ll report back when I use it in colder temps. Sure, it used more pellets, but it uses a lot of pellets even when it’s warm. I didn’t buy a $2,000 grill to get cheap on fuel. I mean, that’s a bit like buying a Chevelle SS and complaining about gas mileage.

Chuck roasts were excellent! I’m liking the bark that no wrap creates. Smoke flavor is really good. I’m finding that as long as I keep fan speed at 60% smoke production and flavor will be good (smoke to 245 deg) . I don’t see a point is using smoke mode now unless if I am doing jerky. I’ll mpre than likely smoke at 245 deg from now on.

Nice chuck! Love chuck more than brisket. I especially like it sliced. I'm going to have to try it no wrap.

High performance and low pellet use are not mutually exclusive.

They’re not mutually exclusive, but when buying an expensive toy, fuel consumption just isn’t a consideration for me. There are many fantastic pellet grills that are much cheaper, and if I was worried about fuel cost, I would have bought one of them.
