Well there you have it. If it is on the internet it has to be true.
The 1st one I agree with though, for three reasons.
1.  I have one
2.  I have tried no others.
3.  It is a pretty nice little unit.

Well there you have it. From the experts.

Ever notice that all of "The best 5 xxxx" reviews only list products that have affiliate links to Amazon? I guess if Amazon doesn't carry it, it doesn't exist.

They got 1 and 3 right!  I did not know Cuisinart make a unit...If they only realized how silly they look to us!  They would still keep doing it!    :pig:  How times have changed...I was not even allowed to call on BBQ's Galore when I was working with GMG because they did not fit the "local dealer" model!  Did I get hosed on that one!

That is interesting and probably with merit.
I agree with Bentley, never heard of cuisinart and in my opinion they look plenty goofy.

They are being made in China and have a "name" attached, that is why the writer looks so silly to anyone who knows pellets.  And for "professional" grade, I would probably look to Cookshack!  But 98.9% of the population thinks this is gospel!

I would be willing to bet the person who wrote the article never cooked on all of those grills and maybe never any of them.

Kinda sad! Its like buying a car from a review in some off related magazine!

People just probably buy a pellet smoker / grill where they can get it.  They don't grow in trees although I thought Home Depot was carrying some (more) now. 

I always suggest to people the Green Mountain Daniel Boone.  Never cooked on it but heard good things here and from people who have used it.  There is a local dealer around town. 

Traeger is at Costco and that is what I saw at Home Depot! They have new ownership with a younger private equity running the show so they will grow.  Doesn't mean its good stuff but the name has a reputation.

I wonder if Weber would ever get in to it?  I REALLY like their gas grills.  For the price I firmly believe there is no better.

Highly doubtful that Cuisinart makes a pellet smoker, looks a lot like a rebadged Traeger...

yes it's absurd, but at that price point, we're going to have more pelletfans before long.

This article is obviously written by someone who has a very limited knowledge of pellet grills.
For comic effect - just read over the Categories. Yowzah. Who thought those up?
