Today we're talking advantages of pellet grills.
Now pellet grills have come a very long way since their early beginnings in the mid eighties
and that's the stuff we'll have a look at today.
let's go.
1st up, super simple Ignition basically you press the button set the temperature you want
am between the hot rod Ignition and the fan forced air your grill is lit and ready to
rock in no time.
Now just as simple as the ignition, they're also easy to use.
basically set the temperature you want and between the augur and the fan forced air the
pellets are being the laid out to the a firepot exactly in the ratio that is needed to hit
the temperature that you’re looking for and keep it there.
So you're not having to tend or stoke the fire or any of that, the fan is doing the
stoking the augur is doing the fuel delivery.
you’re setting the temperature once.
That’s it.
Another cool feature now a days, wireless connectivity most premium pellet grills currently
on the market have some sort of wireless connectivity that allow you to connect via a phone app
and so if you want to do something like a brisket smoke overnight without having to
constantly babysit the fuel the brisket the hold thing, it kind of does all that for you
with alerts and other things that it can send you.
It keeps you involved in what's going on outside while sleeping.
Some of the brands even have basically built into the app it sort of guides you through
the cook.
Already built in ready to rock, you basically just press a button.
next up even heat.
Due to the design with pellet grills having a heat baffle that is directly over the fire
pot and then most even have another very large heat baffle somewhere underneath the cooking
grids.
If you couple that with the fact that they have the force convective air coming from
the fan that hits the firepot, super even heat.
So even that the rear rack in a pellet grill is not necessarily just warming rack it can
be used as another cooking rack because the temperature between this rack and this rack
are very close.
another great benefit of the heat baffles is fewer flare ups.
way fewer flare ups most would agree basically your food drippings will hit the large diffusion
Pan and either vaporize back in your food and any of them that don't do that will basically
roll on down to the grease pot.
Next up with a pellet grill smoke flavor will be on point.
basically what I mean by that is instead of a learning curve for somebody who hasn't always
smoked food, a pellet grill, the way that it works it's a subtle smokiness but it's
really hard to over smoke your food which can be pretty easy to do when you're 1st learning
how to smoke with a regular smoker so it kind of eliminates that it makes it nice and easy
for somebody who wants to learn how to smoke.
The pellets themselves actually come in all of the common smoking flavors and so I mean
you can mix and match or make your own blend or you know whatever, it's super simple and
allows you access to all the common smoke flavors.
now we'll look at temperature range.
Modern pellet grills have a very wide and versatile temperature range.
They're no longer just smoker grills.
A lot of them allow you to achieve the 5 to 700ﾟ temperature range and then there's
a good bit of them that allow you direct access food to flame.
can't beat that.
And the last advantage is that pellet grills are extremely consistent and by that I mean
they're a lot like a home oven.
Ok so if you had your favorite recipe from your grandmother and she shared it with you,
it would say you know you pop your food in at 350, 325 Fahrenheit, and you'd let it go
for this long and pull it out and everything's cool.
Pellet grills work a whole lot like that except they also add wood fire.
Which means that a brisket pulled off a pellet grill is going to taste a whole lot better
than one pulled out of your home oven.
