Well I doubt you will see these at the stores anytime soon but being available on their website is what's important. Many people will go to a store's website to look and see what is available before even going to the store.

And there are Weber and other gas grills in the 1K plus range that people have no problem buying.

My point is that the financing and ship to store is a real selling point.

I will be curious to see a year from now if the pellet grill is still available and if there are any reviews for it.

I don't disagree and you've got some good points, but I'm thinking about the guy who's going to HD saying, oh crap, I'm hosting 4th of July this year, I need to make burgers and hot dogs.  That guy is going to purchase a $400 gasser 99 out of 100 times.  It's that market that we want to see converted to pellets to really see this community take off.

The Camp Chef model has lots of features at a really good price. The name Camp Chef is well respected in the outdoor cooking world, and it is nice to see them offer a pellet pooper.

As many have already said, when Weber debuts their pellet cooker the game will change drastically.  I'm betting Weber will license and manufacture something we pellet cookers are already familiar with -- possibly from MAK or Hearthland.  They are taking their time.

when weber comes out w/ a pellet grill I will be 1st in like to buy one.  I am a true weber fan.  been cooking on weber since i was a wee lad.  and if they come out w/ 49er color pellet grill (like they should) I will get 2 of them.   :D

I think that this should be interesting to see how it plays out at HD.  I suspect that it may end up similar to the Bubba Keg of a few years back where they were around for a year or 2 and then went away.  As far as the PG-500 goes, I don't have any issues with the LHT/HHT.  They are about as simple as the P settings on the Traeger.  One of the features missing on the HD version of the PG 500 that I would miss is the warming drawer.

As to Hub's comments about a Weber pellet grill...I am not certain which will come first - Weber Pellet Grill or Kingsford pellets.

They were not ready to tell me they built grills when I called.  If you remember the thread, I made a phone call to them and had to talk to 4 or 5 people before they admitted to making a grill but that's all they would say.   

Scary to buy something from them when they wouldn't talk to me about it.   Could you imagine  Rec-Tec, PBC, GrillGrates or any of our GREAT sponsors to act like that?   

I wouldn't own anything from a company that won't talk to me over the phone

Does anybody else here recognize the similarity between Louisiana grill and this design? The controller appears to be common to a lot of manufacturers….not that many sq. inches….
