Took the plunge in to the pellet world

RickyBobby I believe Grilla also offers vets discounts/goodies but you’d have to call to check what the current deal would be.

Congrats. This is the one that I have been wanting for a while as well. A lot depends on how the MB560 meets its eventual death I guess, and whether I replace it with another one or upgrade to the Grilla OG. I thought about a PK360 as well, but the Akorn does everything that I'd like the PK360 to do (low & slow/sear with more control over the fire), so the Akorn will probably be replaced with another Akorn.

SmokingSteve , thank you for the heads up, sir! I had no idea!

[Soonerpop]

Sounds great. I’m envious, and that will be my next one.

RickyBobby, Camp Chef does a 25% military/veteran discount on all units and accessories, except Woodwinds. You have to go to Camp Chef site to get the discount.

(And why are they always back-to-back?)

Because working from home just means you have more time to work, lol

I got one last year and it’s a blast to use during the work week. I’m WFH a few days a week and it’s super easy to manage a long cook even between meetings and calls.

Congrats. New toys are always fun.

Someday I too hope to add a pellet rig to the stable. I just can’t afford anything right now and will probably end up with a super entry level rig. Enjoy that OG!

Im now permanently working from home (company policy) so ive been doing more long cooks but im in meetings almost all day and have found myself multiple times unable to reload or tend to charcoal for a period of hours due to back to back meetings. Still gonna break out the kettle for weekend smokes but i guess we shall see how this goes.

I'm starting to go down this line of thinking as well. When I first went remote, I was all excited about to smoke more.....but, you're right....can't tend to charcoal when you're in hours of back-to-back Zoom meetings. (And why are they always back-to-back?)

I would be years behind in outdoor cooking experience if I didn’t get into pellet grills, they made life so much easier chasing two kids different directions and over past couple years have gotten a lot of weekday longer cooks like you mention. The other thing that’s great is when you need another oven or don’t want to heat up the kitchen, they can cover that too.

Pellet cooking for the convenient win!

It's almost to easy.

[DavidNorcross]

I recently went back into the pellet world and have not regretted one moment. It works for some and others not so much. For me and my schedule it is perfect. Have not had a bad cook from it yet. Congrats

Good call, very convenient, I use my old pellet pooper often. I'm kicking around the idea of the LSG PP, but my old Traeger just keeps on keeping on. That, and I have little confidence in the current economy, so we're laying low money-wise.
