My plan to trade in the Primo, was DENIED

My wife is the same way. She's never once questioned or raised concerns about any grill/smoker of the years. I've trade grills/smokers in and out as time has gone on. I can not get her to budge on selling one of our Mini Big Green Eggs.

You can get a Blazn Grillworks Grand Slam for about $1,400 or so. They are made in the US. I have heard good things about them, but never owned one. All my cookers are US made, but I just bought my step son a Rec-Teq 590. He loves it.

Those look incredibly similar to Yoder pellet grills, any relation?

The similarity is superficial. Underneath, they are very different.

I am a research, and research again type a guy.
Given I am leaving on an RV trip for 3 weeks, this is gonna take me some time.

It will give me some time to decide if I want to spend 2 or 3 times what I really want to though to stay 100% USA.

There are several different dealers for the various brands close enough for me to visit when I return.

I still kinda like the Grilla even though it is not 100% USA.

Build a drum smoker...think different..:razz:

 

[bowhnter]

No drum, no mak, no nothin else...

My only two choices are now down to the Grilla Silverback pellet and the Masterbuilt 1050 gravity.

Leaning towards the Grilla due to the 4 yr warranty vs 1 yr for the MB and I think I can get more burn time. Plus I have never had a pellet, so...

 

[4ever3]

ummmm if it’s warranty yer after has anyone mentioned MAK?

They offered a retroactive warranty, any other maker done that?

 

[bowhnter]

Retroactive?

 

[4ever3]

Yes, they extended the warranty on some parts retroactively!

We didn’t get that warranty when we bought the grill the warranty wasn’t offered. The warranty was added I think 18 months after our purchase but we were grandfathered in.

THAT doesn’t happen!

But it did with MAK!

There is a difference in assembled in the USA vs made in the USA, I doubt any unit put together here don't have parts from other country's in it, fan and auger motors and electronic boards ect. lots of choices lotta $ involved

I wrote a quick review of the Smokin' Brothers Premier 24" a few weeks ago. Really like the cooker. Does everything I need it to. I can't swear to it, but I'm pretty sure it is 100% American, but I've been proven wrong before. I DO know they are good, hard working people.

I also have the little brother to the MB1050. If you can accept some quirks, it too is a good cooker. I use both regularly, with great results.
