I was finally able to chase down Chris Becker from Cookin Pellets.com and chat about his business. We talk about some products that are food related, but of course, we also hit how pellets are made and some other great info as well. This will be especially interesting to you folks who own a pellet cooker. I think 2020 will be THEE year the pellet cooker hits the overall mainstream! Do you agree??

* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Volcanic Peppers - Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Cure - Ft. Calhoun
Thank you once again Greg BBQCentralShow for another great interview! Is 2020 THEE year for the pellet cooker? I would have to say from my 68" view it is looking better than prior years. I know of 3 people who received pellet cookers for Christmas and they have no prior grilling/smoking experience. Well, that's not entirely true...2 of them will partake in the occasional cigar. I am also seeing more and more pellet models on the showroom floors around town and I'm sure once the Weber version hits the market, we will see an uptick in pellet popularity.
Thanks again Greg and I hope all is well!

Another great podcast, I do think that pellet grills will increase in popularity, but my guess is they won't be as popular as other grills for anbother 5 or so years. Assuming a design and cost war doesn't ensue after Weber's offerings start hitting the home front, the one thing like Chris said is the shipping costs. Until QUALITY pellet prices drop even further the popularity won't skyrocket.
