Anyone else here run a pellet grill?

yeah same one

 

I don't know if they are better than Traeger pellets but last summer I purchased Green Mountain, and Cookingpellets.com. They are both good pellets but IMO Green Mountain brand had less dust, less handling maybe. They all have worked well, just keep them dry.

 

I have a Traeger

 

Whole Chicken, the best! Drooling excessively now.

 

Cornish game hens actually, brined for 5 hours then seasoned, cooked to 170f. They were delicious!

 

I also have used all the types of GMG pellets and like them, Have heard nothing but good things about cookingpellets especially their perfect mix blend. I recently went in on a group buy on a ton of Lumberjack brand pellets. they have many types and blends and come in 40 pound bags, I have yet to use them but they get great reviews as well

 

So I have been using the PG-100 and the temp is giving me problems. Anyone else on here have one that can help? I have even replace the temp probe on the grill to board and still problems. When you set the temp sometimes it doesn't get to the correct temp at all , other times it over chutes the temp by 30 degrees or more
To get the temp to idle around 200 degrees it takes an hour or more to stabilized it, and you have to constantly adjust it

 

I've got one of the traegers myself. I love it. I was in the market for one because my buddies dad showed me his Daniel Boone from gmg and I needed to have one. I probably would have gotten the Boone except I got a great deal on a display model at Costco. Got about 180 off the price.

My only gripe is the wheels and the legs suck on it. I'll probably end up making up new legs and slap a better set of wheels on them too.

 

Did Englander send you the parts? And when you say upgrade , what was upgraded ?


Thanks, gonna give them a call.

 

Oh ok, well I called Englander and customer service is GREAT! Tech said it was the control board and they sent a new one out already.
I have to say, they will get your product up and running no matter what they have to send. They even pay shipping .

 

I'm back looking at these pellet grills again. Seems that AMFM sells the Englander pg100 for 950$ shipped. That's much better than the $1200+ SST for the home depot.

How's everyone liking their pg100s?

 

here are 3 pages of comments from over at pelletheads.com

I came here after leaving there.

 

what is AMFM?

 

I made 2lbs of jerky on mine tonight, I'd spend that money again. Very happy with this grill.

 

A reputable site for selling new and rebuilt Englander products. Mike actually refers people to them.
