About a week and a half ago I entered the wonderful world of Pellet smokers. I bought a PitBoss 700Fb. Man, I can't believe I haven't owned one of these before now. I got the initial burn done the first day I bought it and then made some reverse seared steaks. I put them on smoke for about 40 minutes until the internal temp hit about 105-110. I slid the Flame broiler plate open and turned the grill up to 400 and seared the steaks until they hit about 130-135. I have never had steaks that good from my propane grill. Since the first day I have made steaks one more time, made some baby backs and made 2 beer can chickens. This thing is amazing! What a time to be alive! I looked long and hard at the Traeger, camp chef and rec tecs. I didn't want to spend the money on the rec tec to be honest in case I didn't like the pellet grill. I found out Cabelas makes one that is the same as the camp chef but has a lifetime warranty since it has the cabelas name on it. In the end the Pitboss won me over since it had the capability to cook directly over the flames and it was pretty cheap at just under $400. It is pretty well built and had great reviews on the pit boss owners club on FB. One thing that stood out was all the good reviews on the customer service. If you are looking to get into a pellet grill but don't want to spend the big bucks on a yoder or rec tec this Pitboss will get er done!
