        Ready, willing, and most importantly ... incredibly able.

      Design, engineering, and build quality are all top notch. It's heavy without being silly and all the innards are stainless. The double wall construction should help with Colorado winters. I seasoned it yesterday and smoke output seems excellent. I'll be cooking wood-fired pizza on it tonight at 450 deg. F. on a baking steel ... pics to follow ...

        Nate - In my case, I needed the smallest footprint possible (don't have much deck space). Also, I'm cooking for two 99.99% of the time. Finally, the folks at Grilla Grills claim the the Grilla is devoid of hot/cold spots thanks to the fact that it's round and it's really a convection smoker. Supposedly, it lays on smoke a bit heavier than the average pellet-pooper, too.

        I should add that, with the upper rack extension (on order now), the Grilla can reportedly handle up to six racks of baby back pork ribs at a time ... more than enough for us.

      ... and yes, the pizza steel really is floating about an inch above the grill ... on 4 balls of aluminum foil because the damn thing is so heavy that it's almost impossible to get your fingers under it (especially while wearing welding gloves) any other way.

        And finally:

        Much better result than when I used the pizza steel in the gasser (probably due to the fact that it's a bit moist in a gasser). Just a hint of smoke, crispy crust, 450 for 12 minutes ... this will happen again soon.

        Man oh Man that is some good looking pizza. How was the smoke profile from the new smoker? What type of wood flavor did you use?

          I used Grilla Grills Competition blend. Not sure what woods are in the blend but we both like it a lot. There was just a hint of smoke since the pizzas were only exposed for 12 minutes at 450 deg. F. ... a temp high enough that the smoke is inherently light.

        I made some pizza last week on the PBC. I went a little heavy on smoke. I think it is better pizza when it is lightly smoked.

            With the upper rack extension you can fit 6 racks of baby backs on the Grilla - one of their support guys sent me a picture of it. Of course a rib rack could help too.

            That is a real nice looking grill! Cleaner than mine, mine looks like someone's been using it to cook. I cleaned the inside of mine on Saturday, and was going to clean up the outside when I got a call that kept me busy for a while. Day off tomorrow, and nice weather predicted, so maybe I'll get the job finished.

            I love baking pizza in the Grilla. What I have done to up the smoke level for a short, hot cook is to throw a few chunks/chips of wood on the diffuser disk. For a longer, lower temp cook, if I want more smoke I have a Blaz'n Smoker Pro. But I've only used that once so far, just to try it out, and I've felt I had enough smoke.

            Looking forward to hearing more of what you think of the Grilla. Really like mine!

              Next time, there’s an AmazinTube to up the smoke-ante a bit.
