Nice video on the big boy. I think I’ll stick with my Traegar Pro 575 since I rarely cook for more than 4 people. Besides, I could put that $3,500 to better use.
Apparently I missed this video. Great review. But considering the price I'd just rather go with the Lonstargrillz pellet cooker. Ricer may you and your family enjoy the holiday weekend. 🎅👍🎄
FANTASTIC VIDEO ....NEW TO THE TRAEGAR(IRONWOOD 650)....I NEED MORE EXPERIENCE TO JUSTIFY THE MONEY FOR THAT SUPER MACHINE ...I LIKED WHAT YOU EXPLAIN AND REVIEWED
You can bake in it! Just rotate the product!! Grilling is fine, just got to crank it up and preheat it for a while so those grates get nice and hot! Thanks for watching!
Pit Boss Competition Blend is quite a bit cheaper than Traeger pellets where I am in MA; $17 for 40lb vs $22-25 for 30lbs of Traeger’s Pro Blend. For a general use pellet, I use the PB Comp Blend.
I have the timberline 1300 and it is absolutely awful. Constant issues with not starting. Had the rep to the house and they moved the igniter 1/2 inch and it still has issues. As far as grilling it will not grill a steak properly even though they profess it will. The rep said I had to put towels and blankets over the unit to get it above 400 degrees in the summer. Good luck if you buy one I have had nothing but issues for a $2500 grill
Ricer I like using a drip pan, foil pan to catch all the dripping. To make that liquid gold. You think you could put a shallow pan under the bottom grate? Looks like a small space. Also how good does it hold heat in the cold WI months?
Ya I think a shorter pan could fit under there or you can just use the top rack for your meat!!??!! The chamber being double walled, helps a lot in the cold! Thanks for watching!
@@SmokedBBQSource I appreciate the feedback. I’ve cooked with charcoal for years but I work a lot of hours and have been looking at pellet stoves. I needs the smoke.
Agree Rusty!! I wish it was a tad cheaper myself but in the past year this pit really has done a pretty dang good job! Thanks for coming over and checking out the video brother!!
Have you had any flare ups? I had 2 grease fires in mine XL. Last one was doing 70 lbs of pork butt. Seems like the drip tray doesn’t run everything down the hole as intended
I have had 1 flare up in the past but now I just make sure it is clean good between the 2 cooking liners. I agree though, grease builds up and does not make it all the way to the grease and ash keg! Thanks for watching!
100% the Lone Star Grillz, still the best pellet grill I have ran to date!!! Made to last forever and smokes more than the rest!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Just skip the Traeger. I had a Traeger Timberline and it was a lemon. I cleaned it after every cook, taking good care of it because I spent so much on it. Despite my efforts, it was a fire hazard from day one, not to mention all the other things that broke. I worked with the company for a few months until they said they couldn’t do any more because I was stationed in Japan. They promised to replace the grill once I got stateside. When I did, they told me to get bent.
@@SmokedBBQSource I understand things sometimes are lemons, but I had a transcript of their guarantee and they still didn't help me. The only reason I didn't take it back to the BX was because I trusted them. I felt pretty hopeless. Very expensive paper weight. Glad yours works great, I hope it stays that way! I still haven't replaced mine, been a little trigger shy.

Nice video on the big boy. I think I’ll stick with my Traegar Pro 575 since I rarely cook for more than 4 people. Besides, I could put that $3,500 to better use.

...I LIKED WHAT YOU EXPLAIN AND REVIEWED
Thanks for watching and glad I could help!!
Great review .. but really, $3800? I’d go for the LoneStar instead.
Nice video 👍 I just bought 1 from the LA County fair. Have you tried baking in it ? how well does the grill function work?
You can bake in it! Just rotate the product!! Grilling is fine, just got to crank it up and preheat it for a while so those grates get nice and hot! Thanks for watching!
Did anyone notice the Pit Boss pellet bag he was using to fill the hopper? I’m was just curious.
I use whatever pellets I have on hand.
Pit Boss Competition Blend is quite a bit cheaper than Traeger pellets where I am in MA; $17 for 40lb vs $22-25 for 30lbs of Traeger’s Pro Blend. For a general use pellet, I use the PB Comp Blend.
Awesome video! Can we get the same update on the LSG pellet?
It is still running like a champ! I did a top 5 video on Dead Broke BBQ where I chit chat about the LSG. Thanks for watching!!

I have had several Traeger pits and never really had any issues with any of mine. Sucks yours is not running good, thanks for watching!
Great review but at the price I’d probably look at a couple others instead.
Completely understand!! Thanks for watching!!
Jeff can you do the new pitboss titan vs the ironwood
We do not have the Pit Boss Titan, hopefully we see one soon! Thanks for watching!!
Ricer

What handheld thermometer are you using it looks exactly like what I’m looking for.
I use either a Thermoworks One of a Fireboard Spark. Thanks for watching!
That's incredible. Not for me unless I win the lottery.
Completely understand brother!!! It really is a very nice pit but I is expensive. Thanks for watching!!!
I think I have asked this before to someone. For that price would you not rather have lone star pellet grill ?? Asking for a friend?
I personally would pick the LSG because the body is going to last forever. Thanks for watching!!
Anyone tried putting some silicone mats or foil on the bottom for easier clean up?
Meh, it doesn't take that long to scrape it up. But you can try if you want.
@@SmokedBBQSource I appreciate the feedback. I’ve cooked with charcoal for years but I work a lot of hours and have been looking at pellet stoves. I needs the smoke.
Great pit but the price 😢 well done video
Agree Rusty!! I wish it was a tad cheaper myself but in the past year this pit really has done a pretty dang good job! Thanks for coming over and checking out the video brother!!
3500 WOW!
Ya this one is pricy! Thanks for watching!

I'm on the fence between the timberline/ironwood or the lone star/yoder. Thoughts?
100% the Lone Star Grillz, still the best pellet grill I have ran to date!!! Made to last forever and smokes more than the rest!!! Thanks for watching!!!
@@SmokedBBQSource thank you sir
if im dropping over 2k on a pg its gonna be an lsg
Ya, that would be a great choice!!!
How does it compare to the Lonestar pellet grill?
It doesn't but great for a box store pit! Thanks for watching!

That sucks, I use mine all the time! Sorry yours didn't work and you got screwed over!!!

yeah when you dont have to pay for it of course you're to give an extremely bias opinion.
hahahaha
