I think I’m about to buy one. Trying to decide between a traeger or a green mountain grill. Which do you recommend?

Just got my camp chef delivered. Currently still in box so I’m no help.

I've had a green mountain grill for 4 years and have had no problems. I mostly do ribs, tri-tips, chicken and sometimes a pork shoulder. Cooks very well in my opinion. Have had no complaints about the quality of the results.

Can’t provide any first hand input, but my neighbor has a rec-tec. He loves it. And I’ve read a lot on Grills of MS FB page, and they always seem to have something good to say about Green Mountain Grills. And they seem to be at a nice price point.

Camp Chef use to be a client of mine. I regret not trying to bum their pellet grill from them.

I predict this thread will become very long.

I'm no help on pellet grills, sorry.

I'm a dealer for Traeger and Green Mountain, I prefer the Green Mountain for the money. weight, placement of the burner, 2 fans. temperature increments, wifi for a $100 less then Traeger, Traeger is a good grill but side by side Green Mountain comes out a head.

My camp chef blew up

Bought it on clearance at Walmart but that little incident ended my experiment with pellet smokers.

Another vote for REC TEC. Grilla looks like a good one also, but love my REC TEC Bull.

Costco has the Louisiana Grills Vertical Pellet Smoker for around $600. Looks real nice. Also looks like it's probably the exact same thing you can buy under the Pit Boss brand, "Pro Series"

That's correct, sir. Louisiana Grills produces Pit Boss. The Pit Boss Copperhead is a very nice and large vertical pellet smoker for $400. The only complaint I'd have with the Copperhead is it burns through pellets a little faster than a Traeger.

I have 2 Traegers, absolutely love them. I don't know about the others, I'm sure they are all good. Even if you buy another brand, save Traeger's recipe site, fantastic.

Sam's club had a very nice looking pellet grill on sale for $200 about 2 weeks ago.

I like their app. I have how to bbq right, Traeger, REC TEC, and Weber apps on my phone. Any other good apps or recipe websites out there?
