sorted byA few questions for a novice please:
- How long does it take to reach temp?
- How long do the pellets last?
- Does it run off battery or mains?
Thanks
I estimate I get 2 hours per kg (most bags are 9kg and around £17-20 a bag) always use branded pellets and not bio mass ones as full of fillers and not suited to pellet grills
Runs off mains, I use mine in all weathers, hot or below freezing except persistent or heavy rain showers (edited)
Personally for steak I like to do it on a screaming hot cast iron pan on my grill at around 550F-600F once sealed add some butter, thyme and garlic to pan and coat it in that, takes about 3-4 mins for a 3/4 inch thick ribeye, but you can easily lo&slo the steak at 180F on the grill till the IT reaches 110F and then crank it up to 600F+ and sear it for 30-45 seconds each side if you prefer
I own 5 different grills charcoal, gas and pellet and I use the pellet grill most out of all of them, once you own one, it makes life so much easier and the food (variety of cooks as well) beats any of the others for me, absolutely no regrets buying my pellet grill. Smoke flavour isn't as strong as a charcoal grill, but not everyone likes a strong smoky taste and the mellower flavour a pellet grill produces, suits my wife far more than charcoal and wood (edited)
TIA
If you can hear the Augur, it is usually an indication something is wrong, pellets or dust compacted in it and struggling to turn or not sitting right. (edited)
Had an incredible bbq around a friends this weekend just gone and he’s got a brilliant Traeger that he was using and it all came out incredible.
Didn’t end up sleeping on this and bought last night. Costco had a habit of taking a crazy amount of money off items then never doing it again.
Now have a Weber Smokey Mountain, 2023 Aldi Kamado and this soon to arrive.
Mrs is going to kill me….
As you say, I don't think there is a better value pellet grill available at the moment....nor have I seen one previously.
Cant find the cooking area dimensions but says 1014 square inches of cooking area, it must be a minimum of 24x18 inches but more than likely 36x18 inches but can't confirm that (if it is though this is like a £1000 cheaper than an equivalent sized Weber or Traeger)
Manufacturers homepage louisiana-grills.com/pro…ll?
Don't own this model (got a Weber Smokefire for 3 years) , but if you have any pellet grill questions, happy to answer them if I can (edited)
I’m in the market for a new bbq and looking at this it would be great if it could do both direct and indirect cooking?
But anyone in the market for a pellet grill, this is a great price for what it offers.
Amazing to think a small portable grill like the Ninja Woodfire with ability to add a little smoke via pellets, can get hot on here and sell out for £300, when you could get a full sized one like this with all the bells and whistles for £150 more
Different pellets work best with different meats/fish
I like Hickory/Oak/Cherry for Beef (You can use Mesquite as well but I find it too strong)
Apple/Cherry/Plum/Alder For Pork, Chicken or Fish
Pellets like charcoal have increased in price since the war in Ukraine, but you shouldn't pay more than £2 a kg and if you can find them for £1.50-£1.70 kg then I'd count that as a deal at current prices
Just buy branded pellets and not the biomass or cat litter ones as they aren't suitable for cooking
Me I'm a total pellet convert for its versatility and convenience, but there are many people who just prefer cooking with charcoal.
It is less than half the grill size capacity of this Louisana Grills model, but if you only cook regularly for 2-3 people may suit your needs better, if looking at a pellet grill anyway?
Don't know if this comes with an app, but I can monitor my cook wherever I am at the time by wifi/bluetooth and adjust temperatures etc if needed, via it, without need to touch or go to the grill.
You will be able to cook larger quantites of food on this grill if needed than most charcoal grills or kamados and no need to set up an indirect/direct setup or need for deflectors. The temp you set covers the whole surface and inside of the grill give or take around 25F+ depending on outside temp and pellet grills can run a little hotter on one side than the other in general
Charcoal grills can cook in rain without need for cover and will be slightly cheaper to run as no electric needed and you can cook slightly longer with an equivalent costing charcoal to pellet bag quantity
Seems to be very little in the way of notable differences to this one
I'm VV tempted as doesn't look like the masterbuilt 800 will be discounted any time soon and the price atm is sky high
Are these electric ones hefty on the leccy? Is it like boiling a kettle for 8/12 hours straight lol
300-500 watts for the first few minutes to power the ignitor. 30-50 watts for the remainder of the cook to continue power to the auger, fans, and digital display. (edited)
I live in a flat and I really miss a good BBQ. I was considering to get the Ninja Woodfire electric smoker so the question is can I use that right next to 2 double windows wide open in a sunroom? Or everyone would be thinking that the flat is on fire? I'm hoping for some BBQ experts help. I'm wondering how much escaping smoke does it generates with the pellets
so many problems with it I don’t know where to start.
In terms of what you need, pellets is a start, some kind of meat to cook and whatever spices/rubs/sauces you want are the main things.
Nice things to have: Good sized metal tongs, foil trays (good for putting water in and generally useful to have), a decent scoop for scooping the pellets and make sure you store your pellets well, if they get damn (from moisture, not just water/rain) they'll be ruined and can clog up your machine. I just got a cheapo bucket with an airtight lid for mine. (edited)
No post to Isle of Man so looking at a local company to collect and bring over.
Rejected it and now it’s out of stock so they can’t replace.
anyone know of any decent alternatives?
Thanks
