FLATTOP 3,667 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Well it arrived today it was delivered on a pallet and weighed over 200 pounds, took about an hour to put together, I gotta say I’ve never bought anything packed so well even the eternal plates and grills were in plastic bags in a form of oil to protect them. I followed the manual to the word as you have to prime the pellet smoker and do an initial burn off to burn off all the factory oils I did do a little cook on it just home made cheese burgers they came out fantastic moist Smokey and the smell was amazing no smoke leaks whatsoever just out of the chimney which you can regulate. it also self cleans by burning off all the old food and you just brush down the grease channels into a bucket on the end which collects it all, it’s so well thought out you can see why the Americans love it I’m looking forward to doing a long cook on it an initial large layout but you’ve got something that will last for years it’s heavy duty and solid with thick steel better than the B&Q efforts. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I’m very very tempted to get one. I’m going to wait until you’ve done a proper cook on it and see what you think. Have you bought the pellets to cook with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m going to wait until you’ve done a proper cook on it and see what you think. Have you bought the pellets to cook with. I’ve bought 3 bags of pellets to get started, with my order I got a bag free and a discount on a cover, pellets work out at £17.50 per 9kg and you can regulate how much the pellets get fed into the smoker with a p button it works like 18 second feed then a 55 second pause with 7 different levels up to about 130 second pause (low and slow ) I think I’m going to cook a leg of lamb or maybe some ribs first I will keep you posted. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
