They are in the market for a new "grill". Their old charbroil, that she uses 3 times a week, is nearing the end. He wants to purchase the Stampede, She's not confident it will allow her to "grill". Since I have the rt-680, they asked me... I have a grill for grilling, and I have my pellet pooper for smoking, so I cannot give them any real, honest, life learned, answers... So, I am asking those of you that do have the stampede...
1) Can she fire it up, probably using GrillGrates, and fire off a few hamburgers?
2) What is the max temperature that you have personally seen the smoker/grill reach?
3) Do you keep it outside?
a) Covered?
i) how does it hold up?
ii) How about the pellets, do they get damp? (here in VA, it gets quite humid)
b) How does the finish look after being outside for a while?
c) Do you see any signs of mold, critters, etc?
4) and finally: If you were asked by a good friend, that fully trusts your opinion and will run with it, could you recommend the Stampede as a replacement for grilling with the option for low-n-slow?
I appreciate everyone's time and responses. They are on a cruise this week, so they won't be making the decision for a little while anyway. If it is the wrong choice, I will certainly tell them so... I just don't have enough information to truly sway them one way or another. I have been apprehensive in stating "It'll do it", instead replaced with "Well, with the GrillGrates, you can get better temps, but I don't know the top end of the Stampede..." I just want what's best for them, and if it is the Stampede, great. If not, that's fine too.
