    I am shopping for a Pellet Grill in particular. Budget is around 1k. I came across these brands,

    Traeger
    Louisiana
    Green Mountain
    TimberRidge/Summers Heat

    Is there one that's more reliable brand wise than another? Need some help with choosing a reliable brand/grill for the money.

    I own a Green Mountain Grill. Early on I had an issue with it over firing badly at start up. Both dealer and GMG support were outstanding. They sent me a new control board overnight and problem solved.

    TimberRidge/Summers Heat are brands of Englander....you won't find better customer service if help is needed. mike holton is the factory tech master and frequents the forum. Hard to go wrong with this choice! He won't let you go hungry with one of his grills.

    Dealer support would be the other thing I would consider when shopping.

    As far as Dealer, I planned to order online since these are not seen much where I live. So I guess I would rely on customer service from the maker.
