Let's Keep the Pellet Talk Going! Best PG for Searing & Portability?

jasonjax · Jul 19, 2018

I've got a FPG-500 that's my go to grill at home, and a FEC-100 that's my go to smoker, and I love both of them, but neither are very portable.

I have a GMG Davy Crockett now for steak competitions and my chicken cooker for BBQ competitions. Very portable, but very small.

I want more HIGH HEAT grilling surface that's still portable and pellet fueled.

Any thoughts sports-fans?

I'd just get a PK Grill like all the rest of em are doing?

How much heat would result if you filled a Weber charcoal chimney with pellets and lit it?
Weber charcoal chimneys are quite portable and, with an inexpensive grate on top, sear extremely well.

Because I'm a pellet-head!

I managed a 7th place finish out of 24 in my 2nd contest with my DC, but I just want some more room. The DC @ 200sq/in is just a little too small.

I noticed pit boss makes one that's 300ish … may have to look at it.

Not wanting to be contrary. For searing, why would you let being a pellet head limit you to the "best" portable pellet cooker that might still be inferior to a charcoal cooker?

What's wrong with getting the "best tool for the job"? If it happens to be charcoal, it is what it is.

legit question...

I am of the belief that the right pellet grill is on par with a PK etc.

My DC gets well over 550 at the grates, creates a nice smoky chamber which I feel adds a kiss of extra flavor. I just want a little more space for cooking on it.

i take my rec tec mini camping all the time with the sear grates and it hits 500deg never had an issue

Maybe fabricate something close to the official GMG pizza oven for your Davy Crockett.

Said to sear at 900, but only fits GMGDB, and GMGJB.

Or shift your box to far left, and right side should be over 600

Rec Tec Bullseye. I swear I thought it was a Weber Kettle when I first glanced over. From some angles you'd never be able to tell.
