Not true in my experience. My friends that have pellet grills admit to me the product is not as good. I myself have had food off of a pellet smoker many times, and while not as good as a traditional smoker, it was decent.

This is insanely idiotic

Heat and smoke are what cooks and provides the flavor no matter what shape the fuel is in. There is a slight learning curve but the food tastes just as good on a pellet grill.

Sorry your friends don’t know how to use their grills.

I’m not a fan of pellet grills personally. But if that’s what works for you, get one.

The Meat Church guys were at a competition I was in. That’s all they use. I had some of their brisket and armadillo eggs. I would say they do an excellent job.

Right. Because if you know what you are doing, just like with ANY pit, your food will come out the way you want it to. Like I said earlier, heat and smoke (no matter what form/ shape they are in) are what provide the texture and flavor and if you can properly manage both, you'll have a successful cook. This bullshite about "this type of pit doesnt taste as good" or whatever, is just that. bullshite. Sorry you dont know what you are doing.

Contrary to popular opinion as shown by posts in this thread, the computer doesnt just automatically cook for you. You cant just "set it and forget it". You still have to know what you are doing and you have to pay attention to what is going on inside. There is still skill involved. You still have to spray, wrap, baste, and whatever else is needed for your cook.

BTW, other than the oblong Primo, do any of you have issues cooking a full packer brisket(16-18 lbs) without having to cut it?

---

I have a 24” Kamado Joe and I’ve yet to have to cut a brisket more than trimming fat.

No. Grill on mine is about 22”. I had to creatively position it during the early portion of the cook once, but by the time it was a couple hours in it had tons of room to spare.

I have a big joe (along with 13 other grills / smokers)

Mine handles a full brisket no problem. But I only do one or two of those a year. I live in pork country and prefer it to brisket.

I've had an Egg, Kamado Joe and high temperature propane grills. I always come back to the ~$200 Weber.

Its funny, because there is literally a thread on the food board about adding a $200 controller to a kettle grill.

Hopefully, the bozos here to find it.
