Yes I actually think the 1300 topped my Big Joe on the chicken. It's hard to describe the difference in flavor, the charcoal in the BJ gives a sharper, some describe it as a dirty flavor, where the pellet gives a lighter cleaner flavor that, for me, it really works on chicken. I think the fact that the pellets burn cleaner, like a well kept stick burner, and the constant blower airflow is almost like a rotisserie effect but the chicken doesn't move. Maybe I'm crazy but I like the flavor better.
Now I did a standing rib roast tonight and I would rate it as a toss up between my Joetisserie and the 1300 and that's really saying something for the 1300. I got busy with some family and only got a pic after I started slicing pieces. I cooked this at 225° on SS until 125° internal. I then pulled it off and wrapped in foil, while the grill came up to 500°. It's 36° outside and it only took 15 minutes to get to temp. I then put it back on and seared it on all sides. The roast was fabulous, a real winner, very flavorful, juicy and tender. Here is the only pic I have of the roast.
