I first found 1# bags of pellets in different flavors at Walmart on markdown in Sep/Oct timeframe. Used to use them in tin foil or a smoker box in my Webers. When I ran out, I found them by the 40# bag on samsclub.com. When I ran out of those, I found out they were made by Traeger. I then found out about this thing called a pellet grill. Found a local dealer in Northern IL who let me borrow a Traeger Elite for two weekends over an Easter weekend. I cooked for the whole neighborhood. I bought a Traeger XL from him. Somehow I stumbled on a forum about pellet cooking. They had some performance tests. I then bought a Memphis Elite. Read some more performance tests, and bought a MAK 2 Star. Guess I've been cooking on these things for 6-7 years now. Glad to be here helping out someone who did a lot of work that got me interested in this hobby. Only met him once for about 2 hours over dinner in Vegas. Looking forward to the next time we meet again.

Glad to have you here!
Yeah, I owe Pelletheads.com for meeting you...Was that 2012 or 2013?

I think it was 2013, but I could be wrong. I think I was in Vegas for that Punk Rock Bowling music festival over Memorial Day weekend in 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Welcome, its funny how some find their way into pellet grilling, I went in to a hot tub store to look at BBQ's to kill time & walked out with a Memphis Elite. What a great salesman, I wasn't even looking to buy.

Well...I found out when you were in Las Vegas!

Yes, that was it, but about 20# lighter ago. BBQ
