    Quality, size and option to go portable is what I was looking for and Gorilla Grils delivered the entire package!
    I went with the Chimp after a bunch of research due the overall better quality build and still affording the option of portability when I wanted... I use it my primary grill on the back porch 90% of the time and take it with me to deer camp or on family camping trips when the opportunity comes. Its been perfect for my intended uses.. The size has been more than adequate for us (family of 4).

    I have used a Traeger big tex for about 11 years and a Tailgater for 3 years. I thought I would never change. I bought a Silverback alpha and I was so impressed I just replaced my Tailgater with a Chimp. Literaly everything I wished that Traeger would improve on in their grill has been addressed in the Grilla Grills. Good Job building an awesome grill guys.

    I live in Denmark. We are the country with most grills per capita outside us as to my knowledge. But unfortunently there is no imports of grilla grills here. Its a pitty. The grills look very good and well constructed. and i am looking for something similar to the Grilla Grills Chimp. Will have to go for Pit boss as it seems this is the only alternative in Europe.....
    If i am wrong please let me know :-)

      Sorry Anker, right now we are a growing family business. We hope one day to be able to ship around the world, but right now we don't have the ability to. We have had people get their grill shipped to a freight distributor before in order to get the grills outside the U.S. but that isn't something we can offer in house. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    What are the power requirements to make this truly portable? My main gripe about the Traeger Tailgater model is that it's not practical for tailgating because it requires 110v AC power.

      stylac Same question here. I have a 23 year old “Nomad” pellet grill that is capable of running off a car battery or a Makita tool battery. The company is out of business, but I’m surprised that nobody else has followed suit. The grill is pretty basic, but gets the job done.

    • @GrillaGrills
      @GrillaGrills  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It does require 120v, standard 3-prong connection. Do an online search for "portable power station" and you should be able to find one that will work with your Chimp.
      The chain lock would be up to your discretion.
