I've had a green mountain smoker for the past 6-7 years and it appears to be on its last legs. Whenever I bought it everyone seemed to be in love with them, but I honestly havent been impressed with their quality. Have had a number of issues with it over time and now the bottom seems to be eaten out of it. What are the best recommendations for a quality pellet grill that will last?

I’m in the same boat.

I’m getting a Traeger probably after the holidays.

I have a Recteq 340, use it weekly for over two years. Great cooker for a family of four, no issues. It will fit a packer brisket, three rack of ribs if you use a stand, or 10lb pack of chicken quarters. I think the legs fold in and one guy can throw it in the back of a truck, but I've never done that.

I have a campchep xxl. It is almost like cheating. I do empty the pellets after every use, if you leave them in the smoker with stupid humidity they will swell and jam.

Many of these threads. Always comes down to budget. What's the budget Rooster?

Under $1k - Recteq or Grilla

Over $1k - Yoder or Pits & Spits

Wait a week or two and get the new Camp Chef Woodwind PRO when it comes out. Its a rock solid pellet grill with a smoke box built in to add hardwood or coal.
