Right. I felt that camera shopping section in my soul. As a recovering min/maxxer research fiend, I came to the same conclusion as Shaq (there is rarely an objective max and half of the features you debate over are ones you never have or never will care about again).
You never do anything half assed and this video is no exception. Thanks for going into the little things that most people wouldn't think about like delivery costs and grill covers. These are the things that separate you.
Why did I watch an 8 minute smoker review if I live in an apartment and in a state where I can only comfortably cook outside for maybe half the year? Because Shaq's videos are just that good, even if he sometimes puts on cute little thematic costumes.
Killer video! This should be the gold standard for equipment reviews. You take into consideration all aspects and are honest and upfront that everyone has different needs and preferences, and one thing isnt simply the best. And you took the time to do a long term review. That is invaluable because using a kitchen tool for a week wont tell you or us the audience if its durable enough to even last a month. Thank you for the time and effort. I will definitely be referencing this when I decide to get into smoking more.
Another couple things to consider, like I had to recently, regarding practicality: - How reliable/available is your power? These require a power source, so do you have an outdoor outlet near by or will you need to run an extension cable? Does your power have a tendency to go out during storms? The oven/stove might not be working, but neither is your grill. - What's your area set up like? Will it allow for enough airflow to keep smoke from lingering/building up? Are you in a townhouse where the smoke will waft into your neighbors area to an offensive level?
Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.

This resonated with me so much lol. Deciding on a pellet smoker was a struggle - way too many different options and features. I actually ended up with a camp chef woodwind, just because of the easy ash cleanup and the sidekick
I appreciate how thoughtful you were in putting this together. You made an effort to highlight what factors are actually important in choosing a grill (or whether you should even get one), instead of bombarding viewers with trivial stats that you'd see in Amazon comparison tables. Those tables aren't useless, but most people who are new to smokers don't even know what to look out for. I hope this video does really well.
I spend way too much time on TH-cam and this video can't be considered wasting time... I am probably 3 years away from buying a pellet grill because life but I'm going to remember this. Best comparison video I have ever seen
Highly recommend springing for a PID controller, especially in cold climates. I bought an aftermarket one and it made my cheapest-one-you-can-buy pellet grill actually a pleasure to use
After extensive research in early 2021, I purchased the full stainless Maverick 850 from Pitts and Spitts last summer, it is an incredible beast and built unlike any other, especially in the full stainless. P&S, MAK, Memphis and Yoder amongst the best imo
HAHAHA BEST PELLET SMOKER GRILL VIDEO EVER!!!!! Hate when i click on a video and their smoker is shiny AF, not even used and they review it..... This felt real and honest. The world need more ppl like u man, keep up the good work
I haven't even remotely considered purchasing a smoker / grill, and won't in the foreseeable future. But you still made me hit that like button and genuinely chuckle while trying to follow the fast paced ending of the video. Great work as always ! Thank you
One thing to note, pellet smokers( at least traegers) are very easy to fix, it might be worth checking the marketplace for a broken ones if you’re handy! ( 50$ to repair dumpster traeger owner)
As a previous Traeger+ user, switching to Asmoke has been an absolute game changer for me. The level of temperature control Asmoke offers is unparalleled. The FlameTech patent with dual sensors and a new PID algorithm means I can maintain temperature within 5°F, giving me precision like never before. Plus, the pellets come in a variety of flavors, which has really upped my grilling game by adding a distinctive smoky taste to my food. But what truly stands out is the convenience of Asmoke. It's lighter, smaller, and portable, making it perfect for all my outings. I've taken it camping, tailgating, and even on road trips! The battery-powered feature with up to 10 hours runtime is a lifesaver, enabling me to grill anywhere, anytime. Can't forget about the app, which allows me to remotely adjust temperature and monitor food. Highly recommend Asmoke to all grill enthusiasts! #Asmoke
I don't know if this is the right way to say this, but I feel like this is the most moral TH-cam channel. The way he handles sponsors and reviews is refreshing Also, sick dad fit for what is easily your most fatherly vid
I've been watching for a while now, and every single video is a banger. Short, chock full of information, and very well spoken! Very excited for 500k, keep it up Shaq.
bro throughout the whole vid i was so confused why you were wearing a that carhart over a hoodie in arizona weather and was all i could think about and you go ahead and actually address it. A+
Been watching my boy for a while. The honesty in the videos is a refreshing change to the facade that has become the internet. Honesty is gold. Always.
I got an RT-340 last year and it was probably my best purchase. I used it for smoking a brined thanksgiving turkey and I can never go back to oven baked turkey again, it was so beyond delicious. 20/10.
I respect your views and opinion on this subject,,, I researched this to death about 6 years ago and went with the RecTec 680,,, heavy gauge,,, all steel,,, I've been happy with it for what it's worth...
I don't even own or plan on owning a pellet girl but this video was still mighty solid. Every shaq video is always perfectly edited and written like there's not one part of a video that doesn't contain useful knowledge
Always top notch content! Fast, funny, and thorough! I totally hate getting into "gearhead" kinda discussions/debates and your framing of the this video set some great ground rules! Would recommend
Most people have said it better than I can but your videos are so refreshing. This is what product reviews should be and I wish you did more! Love my pellet smoker so much.
What an overview! I'm going to have to share this with my customers. I sell a lot of smokers and grills and this is the type of overview I would tell my salespeople to give any customer. You even start with the budget
I have a Weber Smokey mountain and have no intention’s of buying a smoker to replace it anytime soon. But every time you put a vid out I must watch it. You are great at delivering info and your vids are just so damn watchable. Can’t explain it, maybe because I’m an idiot from Kentucky lol
I live in a city where it’s below -30 Celsius for 3-4 months of the year, yet I watched this entire thing. As always, you make insanely good and shareable content. Thanks.
Great guide! Short, sweet and covers the absolute essentials as always! One thing I'd add is if you want the option to grill WITHOUT smoking, look carefully. Depending on your space/needs/budget, you can also consider a vertical pellet smoker in conjunction with horizontal grill model, or a charcoal grill/offset smoker. But again, your actual space/needs/budget plus the other tips here are crucial to avoid wasting time and money. I'd personally recommend the brands Chargriller and Pitboss (pending location) as decent budget brands. Not the only ones out there, plenty I don't know about or have access to here in Aus at least but it's a start for those curious.
This is the best review for anything I have ever seen. I got a cheapo pellet smoker two years ago for black Friday and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made!
Big Chief electric smoker. Cheap at $125, easy, plenty of capacity. I just cut up a few ounces of twigs from my plum tree and pop them in the pan rather than buy pellets. A bit of pam sprayed on the steel grills, load up with a few pounds of jerky (beef or salmon usually) marinated for at least 24 hours (usually teriyaki) and plug it in for 8-12 hours. Pull it when everything is dry.
The classic answer is an AR but since there's 30-50 of them charging around in the yard, just a single AR wouldn't cut it. Get yourself a surplus machine gun and a few belts of ammo and you'll be good.
Here in Texas, feral hog control can and does escalate to no-shit shooting at them with machine guns from helicopters. I know this sounds like a shitpost but I swear to God this is 100% true. "30-50 feral hogs" is an inherently hilarious phrase but they're no joke.
Get your kids some AR's of their own to help their pop's commit war crimes on those fuckers. Hogs kill kids and occasionally adults all the time, they are no joke. Stay strapped or get clapped.
I got a used pellet grill off of Craigslist for a damn reasonable price; that thing has quickly become the best grill I've ever owned. I actually had to RTFM to figure out how to work it, but once I knew what I was doing, it's been extremely reliable and easy to get great results.
As a former Qstoves+ user, I recently made the switch to Asmoke and it has been a game-changer. The precise temperature control of Asmoke, thanks to its FlameTech patent and dual sensors, offers a cooking experience that Qstoves+ simply couldn't match. The convenience of being able to monitor and adjust the temperature remotely through the app is a huge advantage, especially during social gatherings. The variety of flavors offered by the wood pellets is a delightful addition to the overall grilling experience. What's more, it's lighter and smaller than Qstoves+, making it easier to carry around for camping or tailgating. The battery power option is a huge plus, offering up to 10 hours of runtime. It's not just a grill, it's a revolution in outdoor cooking. #Asmoke.
I have such an incredibly limited amount of time in my day to consume content and I just spent it watching a video of products I couldn’t care less about. You do good work.
My opinion is a Alton Brown style large flower pot with a couple pie plates and a hot plate in the bottom. Can’t grill but I live up north where I’m only going to smoke something like once a year, makes good pork and is cheap as hell. In your analogy, I use pans made of heavy duty tin foil.
I've thought about getting one, I currently have a Weber Genesis gas grill and a Weber Performer charcoal. I can't justify a third grill since I can do simple smoking on my charcoal grill ( I added a gasket to the lid so it seals real good )
"You conclude that any of the paralyzingly plentiful choices will be lacking in some facet that last wek didn't matter to you in the slightest" This is the most relatable thing you ever said. It took me a whole week to pick a goddamn blender.
I would complain about the Carhartt aglets bumping into the lavalier mic, but I imagine discovering that during the edit was way more frustrating for you than it is for me
Love the review especially when we got to "This Guy". You may want to look at the Lone Star Grillz Pellet Smoker. It runs like and off-set, but has the capability to Grill and use Charcoal with added accessories. It's only a few 100 more than the Yoder too.
thank you for not being another in the growing line of alton brown knockoffs on youtube...several well-known food dudes on youtube have ripped off his intonation and cadence as if that's the only way you can speak about cooking if you're going to be scienc-y about it and i can't stand listening to them
I have no interest of this gear nor the intention of buying it but enjoyed the video nonetheless. The metaphor you used really wraps up the video neatly! Thanks again for the video!
I just use a good ole Weber Grill/smoker. Super simple but requires some technique. It's a great lil tailgater too. A pallet smoker is on my list for sometime in the future.
The only oven I can use in the AZ summers is a toaster oven... Everything else goes on the stovetop. Also, Shaq: Have you ever looked into sun ovens? They concentrate sunlight with mirrors to cook food. It's kind of a gimmick but might be fun to play around with.
Also if you really want to make bbq but even the cheap end pellets are kinda out of your price range, look for a used barrel smoker. I was lucky enough to get a hand me down Weber smokey mountain from my wife's grandma and it works really well. every part of the smoker can be taken out individually so moving it around and cleaning each piece it's a lot easier than most smart grills. Same with replacement parts. Granted, it will not be as easy to maintain a steady cook overnight but my tip to you then would be to just let it cook in the smoker until you reached your desired "smokeyness" and then just pop it in the oven for the rest of the cook. Also, this is just something I've heard and haven't tested myself, but they say pellets just don't provide as much smoke flavor as offsets or barrels.
If I ever got a pellet grill that was NOT an "RT-590" my grillin' coworker would murder me. I mean, the name doesn't roll off the tongue... yet I know it. That should say something about how often he praises it.

It's because it's not actually about buying a Pellet Grill. It's about buying anything.
You can smoke in uncomfortable temperatures, you spend 10 minutes outside twice, and the rest inside while it smokes
Bruh. Im from south asia and im allergic to beef and pork. I still watched everything.
I don’t give a damn about smokers, and will probably never buy one, but I enjoyed this video just because of how well it’s made. So well thought out!

Love the channel bro. The ‘stache gets me every time. Where the bbq at?
I have no interest of this gear nor the intention of buying it but enjoyed the video nonetheless. The metaphor you used really wraps up the video neatly! Thanks again for the video!
I don't even grill but I'll still watch
Internet shaq remains the most based cooking channel on this platform.
Loved the video! Great content! Refreshing narrative.
I just use a good ole Weber Grill/smoker. Super simple but requires some technique. It's a great lil tailgater too. A pallet smoker is on my list for sometime in the future.
The only oven I can use in the AZ summers is a toaster oven... Everything else goes on the stovetop.
Also, Shaq: Have you ever looked into sun ovens? They concentrate sunlight with mirrors to cook food. It's kind of a gimmick but might be fun to play around with.
wow that was a lot of info very fast. Still it made sense and I appreciate the effort and organization that went into it!
One of the best (yeah I said the B word) endings to a video I’ve ever seen.
Also if you really want to make bbq but even the cheap end pellets are kinda out of your price range, look for a used barrel smoker. I was lucky enough to get a hand me down Weber smokey mountain from my wife's grandma and it works really well. every part of the smoker can be taken out individually so moving it around and cleaning each piece it's a lot easier than most smart grills. Same with replacement parts. Granted, it will not be as easy to maintain a steady cook overnight but my tip to you then would be to just let it cook in the smoker until you reached your desired "smokeyness" and then just pop it in the oven for the rest of the cook. Also, this is just something I've heard and haven't tested myself, but they say pellets just don't provide as much smoke flavor as offsets or barrels.
Glad to see you've really leaned into this whole married thing
Very practical questions to consider. Love it.
Another great video Shaq! Learned a lot.
Me as a vegetarian.
Nodding 'yes that is important Mr Shaquille'
If I ever got a pellet grill that was NOT an "RT-590" my grillin' coworker would murder me. I mean, the name doesn't roll off the tongue... yet I know it. That should say something about how often he praises it.
the 340 is the perfect size for a smaller family. honestly, even when I have a lot of people over, I never run out of grill space for my needs.
