Title: What do you like best about your Pellet Grill?
Post by: DE on March 08, 2018, 08:29:40 AM
I think what I like best is the unique way the heat flows through the pit (Up, over, and down ) with different temperature zones and the even temperature around the largest indirect zone, then down and out the bottom with the drip pan at the end of the path.
And of course the fact that it has been performing great since June 2011 doesn't hurt either.

Ease of use, reliability, performance and most important... the results! :)

Ditto!  4 years with mine, no complaints that mean anything.

 My Pro is so easily maintained vs my Traeger. No grease trough, bucket or need to remove the grates from the pit to access the burn pot. Even heat and very hi temps if required.. And easy on pellet usage.

Ability to do high heat searing (or pizza baking) and low and slow all in the same unit (Memphis Pro)

What's not to like about your pellet grill? It does everything I want. From smoking to searing to making a nice breakfast, pizza's. I can't remember the last time we used the house oven!

So, what I like best about the Cookshack Fast Eddy PG500 is the its smoke output flexibility.

No flare up's!

We have 2 Weber bbq's, 1 gas and a small table top charcoal grill and you have to watch them constantly to keep the grease from catching fire and burning whatever is cooking. We were given an old Traeger last year and have cooked ribs, roast's and chicken and never have we had to worry about flare up's with it and everything comes out tasting so good.

How do you manage the grease in the Pro?

In 2012, after about a year of studying performance tests, I bought a Cookshack Fast Eddy PG500 because it provides–
  • the ability to adjust smoke production
  • the direct zone (not many others had one)
  • the two additional hotter zones in addition to the amazingly even smoking zone
  • the warming drawer
  • the pellet dump
I discovered that I–
  • don't ever use the pellet dump because I just vacuum the pellets into their storage bucket (Home Depot Pellet Head vacuum lid)
  • don't grill in the direct zone because we prefer the taste of meat grilled over charcoal
  • don't use the two additional zones
  • don't use the warming drawer
So, what I like best about the Cookshack Fast Eddy PG500 is the its smoke output flexibility.

This is the most honest post I've seen in a while.   I'm in the keep it simple group.

High heat, smoke output and temperature control!  Goes for both my Memphis Pro and Daniel Boone.

It is just about a "set and forget" wood burning unit - outdoor cooking doesn't get much easier.

It gives me great barbeque with no more effort or need for skill than using the oven in the kitchen.

I like pretty much everything about my pg500 from the ash tray to the 6 different temp zones (if you include the top and the warming drawer). The only thing that I don't like is the inches that it added to my waist.

My MAK is consistent - when the food doesn't work right I know it's me!
