Re: Once again searching for a Portable Pellet Smoker/Grill
we all know what is said about Opinions ..
.. I have no clue as to the validity of the ranking given in this video entitled "Top 5 Best Pellet Smokers 2021 - Buyer’s Guide" ====> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x6C4W6szfk ..... what I do know is all 5 of the grills featured in the video are commonly considered to be fine units from good companies ....

Re: Once again searching for a Portable Pellet Smoker/Grill
fascinating .... I'd of never thought of doing so and just may give it a try
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
Note : having never heard of a Monte Cristo sandwich, I had to look it up .... sounds interesting and very much worth trying

Re: Once again searching for a Portable Pellet Smoker/Grill
I get the opinions thing. But Ive owned a Traeger grill in the past and I now have a Memphis Grill. It will chew a Traeger up and spit it right out. There isnt even a close comparison.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Once again searching for a Portable Pellet Smoker/Grill
considerable research that has had me leaning in one direction, then another, then yet another .... our search has been accelerated by our pending trip to South Dakota for the summer .... while we've not found a perfect portable smoker that has been clearly the best for us in all areas, we have narrowed the field and anticipate swallowing hard, then placing an order over the weekend

Re: Once again searching for a Portable Pellet Smoker/Grill
well, we our search has come full circle .... I just placed an order for a "Green Mountain Davy Crockett Sense Mate Electric Wi-Fi Control Foldable Portable Wood Pellet Tailgating Grill with Meat Probe, Black" ====> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078RXH95C?ps ... yp_imgToDp ....
some of its features that were important to us are :
the pellet bin is a separate box from the rest of the grill/smoker .... I don't want another with the pellet bin under the same lid like the one in our Traveler
I like the WiFi control system
the folding legs that become a carrying handle will help me move it around
with the legs extended. the height of the grilling surface allows the person doing the cooking to do so while seated
it fit our price range
it has solid positive reviews on every platform we found
we ordered several extras like a weather cover, pizza oven and winter heat jacket .... per Amazon things should start arriving tomorrow and everything should be here within the next week

Re: Once again searching for a Portable Pellet Smoker/Grill
I was contacted by a friend who is looking for his first portable smoker/grill who asked why the above was important to me .... the control panel and access to fan/auger motors are mounted in the pellet bin in our new Green Mountain Grill (GMG) .... this video ====> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLgDGtJY_Ic gives a quick look at one such advantage of having a separate, easily removable pellet bin .... while I can't speak from a solid info base I'm pretty sure that this is a fairly standard feature from manufacturesJEBar;n391448 wrote:the pellet bin is a separate box from the rest of the grill/smoker ....

Re: Once again searching for a Portable Pellet Smoker/Grill
below is another example ..... I worked on trying to replace the auger motor on our Traveler grill for several hours over several days and never could get it to work .... that's the reason we are buying a new smoker/grill

Re: Once again searching for a Portable Pellet Smoker/Grill
Wish you luck with the new grill Jim. I hope our Asmoke does better than the traveler did for us. Its a shame when BBQ's become like bic lighters just throw them away and get another one.
