1st pellet grill purchase and I love it. It's unreal how juicy everything has come out. Still a novice to what I can do, but chicken and burgers have been great. 450B
A fantastic combination of smoker and grill…easy assembly with good directions…holds 3 racks of ribs…did ribs and chicken on smoke and steaks and chicken on the grill…holds temperature at set levels…great value when compared to expensive Traeger…easily 5 star rating
My first pellet grill so i’m still on learning curve. Many years of smoker and grills but no pellet. So far, the first cook was ribs and chicken. Neither was good. No smoke flavor and dry. Was unaware of a very noticeable hot spot. Be careful and watch it or you’ll have some overcooking in spots. I brought a smoker tube and you will too if you want smoke flavor. Second go around was much better, almost good but not quite. Each cook has improved to a average cook. The smoked salsa was great. I think I will improve my finished product but i am picky. Grill is time consuming to clean and it has some quirks I don’t care for but time will time. I’ll update in a few more cooks. Don’t regret it but not getting results i had hope for.
I got my smoker a week ago and have been making ribs for my friends who think I’ve been doing this for years, when in reality this has been the first time Ive ever smoked meat in my life. It makes it so easy it’s almost impossible to fail. I’d recommend this size to anyone who’s gonna be consistently cooking for 4 to 6 people at a time. The 450B is the perfect choice.
I just received it last Monday and assembled it the same day. Have not had a chance to use it yet because I was out of town. Looking forward to using it.
It was great once I was able to use it but the package was shipped without hardware and then it was radio silence until support sent me the hardware needed to assemble. No tracking # or anything just a "we sent it" and then waiting for days to have the screws to assemble the grill
