Pro’
- There’s a lot you can do! You can smoke, roast, grill and even bake in a Traeger Eastwood 22. Advanced users have gone beyond epic cuts of meat and made delicious breads and desserts as well.
- They heat up super quick, a good pellet grill can get up to temperature in 15 minutes.
- Advanced models come with the ability to set the temperature within 5 degree increments, and will maintain the set temperature for hours.
- Pellets come in a variety of flavors—which gives you the option to experiment with flavour profiles.
- Some grills offer the ability to do cold smoking.
Con’s
- Pellet grills require electricity, meaning that even if you have one small enough to transport, you’re going to need a generator or an inverter.
- Pellet grills are quite expensive, at the low end you’re looking at $500, all the way up to and over $4000.
- There is not much smoke at high temperatures, low heat cooking is best and can take a lot of time.
Overall, pellet grills are a great middle ground between the old school purity of charcoal or wood and the abomination that is gas.
