High Point, North Carolina says "Hi Yall"
« Reply #-1 on: June 13, 2014, 12:00:59 PM »
I found your forum while researching pellet pits/smokers/grills (whatever you want to call them) online and ran across a less familiar brand that one of your members reviewed.  I became very interested in pellet smokers when I visited my local Costco and they had a Traeger rep displaying some of their products and answering questions.  I have an old Jenn Air gas grill that has lasted me 12 years but is rusting through so I'm looking for something different.  My dad purchased a Big Green Egg several years ago and I thought about something like that but these pellet units really piqued my interest!

I'm married with 2 kids, an English bulldog and a cat.  My wife is into bulldog rescue so we currently have a foster living with us as well.  I teach automotive technology at the local community college and I'm going back to school myself.

If there is anything else you want to know about me, fire away with questions!

Hey ASEP!

Good to have you here.

You might want to post in the "Pellet Grills" section - and pose your questions in order to get some thoughts on various brands.

Suggestions? Think budget, but have some flexibility ...There are many that are close in price, but for a little more, you can get more bang for your buck!

  Welcome!  There's a lot of quality difference in the last 12 years. So many companies have gone to Chinese MFG.  And most of that is just crap. Not all but most.
I'm holding out for a Rec Tec.... I told my son that was my plan and he just found them on a top 10 grills list.

I know what you mean about the quality.  The Rec Tec is assembled in GA, USA but the parts come from China.  The Blazn Grill Works seem to be 100% USA.  But the cost for the same size grill is significantly more.  As you stated, there are lots of great reviews for the Rec Tec floating around.

Welcome from SE Georgia! I own the Blaz'n Grill Works Grid Iron and I did a review here on it. Yep, a little
pricey, but too me it was money well spent.
