I find it odd that they did not include the Blaz'n Grill in that list. They are among the promising newcomers like Yoder and Rec-Tec.

SS - this is a tie-breaker vote as all of these finished in a dead heat.

Naturally I'm late.  I'm almost always behind the curve.

I won't specifically mention the brand but it's curious that an excellent pellet unit was not on the list.  That indicates to me that the poll's author doesn't know much about pellet units, so it makes me wonder if he often writes about things he knows little about.

In this kind of voting, don't we usually vote for the brand we know the best?  Typically, that would be the one we own or the one we had an opportunity to use—perhaps only once.  Not many of us have cooked an appreciable amount on all pellet units.  Or do we base our votes on what we've read?  I that case we're just casting the author's vote again.

I don't see how a popularity vote like this has any relevance when discussing quality or usability.  In fact, I don't see how a popularity vote like this has any merit at all.
