We have been running a gen 1 SmokeFire for years now with no issues other than cleaning and reusing the glow plug twice. Literally close to a thousand hours of use and absolutely love it! I have four other friends and family with traegers and theres no comparison; there’s no searing, no flame whatsoever, it’s like oven cooked everything. All that said, we’ll be installing the twin eagles in our new outdoor kitchen (we bought from you) and are loving the idea of it living up to its reputation and making us feel good about rehoming the SmokeFire. Continue to love all your reviews and videos 👍
Nice!
You're missing the best one, the Lone Star Grillz 20x42 pellet smoker. I'm assuming you left it out because LSG sells direct and not through resellers. But if you're on the market for a pellet smoker, you need to look at the Lone Star Grillz. No other pellet smoker comes close in terms of quality, both of the smoker and the food produced by it.
Thanks for watching!
Songy you are spot on!!!!!! That number 1 is a joke. 10 Gs for a pellet smoker 😂😂😂😂😂😂 gtfo
It’s like 3x more than these. Not worth it
@@peterk814 it's totally worth it if you have the money and you want a pellet smoker that performs more like an offset smoker in terms of smoke quality. And the build quality is second to none, it will last forever if you take care of it.
Newbie, but watched my Dad run his EGG all of my life so I know the basics. Can NOT wait for my Ironwood XL to arrive! Thank you for the review, though I bought it a few days ago and BEFORE seeing this video, I have ZERO buyers remorse! Thank you for the great video!
All of the grills in our video are amazing! That Traeger Ironwood XL is a beast!!
What is your take on the Memphis Grills? Specifically the Elite?
Thanks for the great review of these 5 systems. I have a Gen 2 Weber EX 4. Have MANY smokes and grills on this unit and 0 issues. Use it to smoke and regular grill. Use common sense, good quality pellets and keep reasonably clean and you will love these units.
Nice choice. Thanks for watching!
Love the look of the pitts with those wheels. Biggest complaint about my Traeger is when I have to move it on my wooden deck it is a pain to move. That thing has some you look like you could walk through the woods with.
haha
GREAT REVIEW.
Thanks for watching!
Great to see the update, great smokers. I know it's unlikely since they don't work through dealers but would love to see you take a look at the Lone Star Grillz Pellet smoker. I have one of those on order and it has that "Texas Built" aspect as well, being basically an offset quality build with a pellet smoker built in, but some really really nice features that newer pellet grills are starting to offer (some on ones like that Twin Eagles and Coyote). Like a drop chute pellet feeder with a small auger, which limits the long auger problems that can occur (a headache for my GMG right now at times). It's firebox is completely removeable externally from the bottom for super easy cleanouts (that's the big one for me right now, after each cook on my GMG I have to dig out all the guts to clean out the firepot or it has like an 80% chance of not igniting then backing up). A built in Fireboard controller (also US made like the Pitts and Spitts controller, the Yoder uses it too) with up to 6 probe ports. A lot of people consider the Fireboard the best in the industry for probe monitoring/management, I certainly agree with the website and app capabilities (though the wireless meater is killer also), but you get that built in already. People consistently claim it kicks out more smoke flavor due to how that controller is tuned. It has cold smoking as an option, an optional charcoal grill insert like that Twin Eagles. A 40lb pellet hopper (which would be great for long brisket cooks, ran out the last time on my GMG and then it backed up into a state it couldn't recover from without opening all the guts and cleaning it out). Main chamber is 3/16th hand welded steel. Really stacked with features and build quality.
I had really considered ordering that Pitts and Spitts because it also has great build quality, though I can't double down on an older style long auger cooker this time... Too error prone IMHO, the short auger chute style just seems to result in far fewer jams and related problems.
@MattKingTuT I totally agree with you. Great overview about LSG. I also considered the Pitts & Spitts model 1250 but when I did my homework, I quickly shifted to LSG. I have a GMG, but thankfully I have one of early generation models that are not problem prone.
LSG is in a category of one methinks. Why? It's not a jack of all trades. It's focused on being an offset pit. The pellet pot is patented and has a high smolder rate to make wood smoke. I think this is done by scattering some pellets to the periphery where less oxygen. Please confirm. The other aspect is using hot air for ignition and reliability. And of course the offset location of firepot. I think they have a charcoal tray for grilling. To my eye the LSG should have a companion, maybe a gas grill.
@@mefobills279 I completely agree. I think you're probably right about the pot burning differently since people do seem to report more smoke flavor compared to others. I'll be very interested to try. Great point about the hot air ignition, another major plus for the LSG. It's just so smartly designed that I couldn't go Pitts over it for my upgrade.
I agree that a gas grill combined is a killer combo. Mine will honestly be overkill. I have a 42" Hestan Gas Grill (after the reviews here and elsewhere I fell in love with it), also have a Workhorse Pits 1975 offset, a Blackstone 36" griddle, and ordered with the LSG Pellet I also ordered a Large ISV and a 60" Santa Maria grill. I just can't stop scratching the itch to have every way to cook. Though I think the LSG Pellet + a gas grill is probably an amazing combo that covers most scenarios.
@@alvinsmith8250 Yeah, the Pitts cookers are amazing. I actually prefer their look more than the boxy LSG look and the construction and usage of stainless steel I really appreciate... though for the same reason I just had to go LSG, it's just so smartly designed. The only thing it's missing is something like a wood chunk/split burn box like the new Camp Chef Pro Woodwinds (which are inferior in every other way IMHO). I actually really wanted an Ironside insulated vertical cabinet smoker with an integrated pellet smoker since it had some of the same things the LSG has like fireboard controller, small auger + chute feeder but it also had support for full wood splits to augment the pellet burner (which get placed over it so they ignite through the pellet pot as well), but also full charcoal + wood insulated cooker as well. Unfortunately contacted them and they aren't making smokers anymore. For about the same price I'm getting an LSG Pellet & Large ISV though to scratch both itches.
@Matthew Langley Please report back in what you find out. You are in a good situation to inform others.
Since the TE only has a 13lb. Hopper, I’m curious to know if it will survive an overnight brisket cook at 200 degrees.
Luv my MAC, built like a tank too ... almost bought a memphis, prob about 3 yrs ago
Nice!
No Yoder ys640s? 😅
Great video!
Great info!
I'd just like to add one little thing. Running a magnet across stainless steel means nothing. 304 and 316 stainless steels are both nonferrous but are arguably not the highest quality steels out there both for corrosion resistance and especially for strength. For $10k I'd prefer to see a 400 series stainless steel in that grill. 409 would be perfect. The magnet test is a common misnomer for quality. As an example you can get 304ss to hold a magnet if it has been work hardened.
I'd go on and on and on but I don't want to be a pest. This plays heavy in my work and something I am constantly pointing out.
Oh dang. yeah we are not steel experts
How do you feel about grilla grills? . I’ve heard great things about those as well
No famaliar
Helpful summary. I bought a Smokefire in November and have had a lot of problems with it. Failure to ignite, inability to reach temperatures above 480 degrees, that type of thing. Weber customer service was phenomenol, but ultimately, their answer was "I dunno." I'm taking advantage of their generous 100-day return policy and I'll get something else. I like the Traeger Timberline but I'm not sure why it's priced $1,000 more than the Ironwood. We'll see . . .
We have a review on the Timberline! Its probably more for the side burner
My $400 Pitt boss Austin XL has a huge cooking area and I’ve turned it up all the way and it may say 550° on the dial but I’ve gotten it over 1000°
Oh dang nice
Delighted to see you emphasizing US made v Chinese made - why? Doesn't matter which "side" we are on as Americans, whether we care about people and workers rights or just being decent etc - or if you are patriotic period - absolutely nothing wrong with that - so it made me happy to see you support American made smokers......Guarantee if this were BBQ from any other self respecting culture, they would be showing preference to their own products first. Thank you. Delighted to find your channel. You also helped me sort out my thinking about what to buy with smokers....first time BBQ, new American...(not born here) and thrilled to discover BBQ culture.....Thanks
Glad to help! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions Embersliving.com
Think you omitted one significant feature of Pitts & Spitts is ability to insert wood chunks. Don't have but was a consideration few years ago. For some reason smoker was not listed as a go by many reviewers maybe cause not in a average category. Seems reviewers mainly test among the average not really the best best.
Thanks for watching!
On the Pitts, you have to set the shelf up against the bottom of the lid and tighten the set screws.
I'll have to tell the warehouse guys
You need to take a look at the KANDO GEAR K670 pellet grill. Made in the USA, 10 ga. Steel, deep unique fire box and clean out system.
Man, if these are in your top 5 you'd be mind blown at lone star grillz.
Yeah we have to check it out
Just for reference that shelf on the Pitts isn't installed correctly. It needs to be set correctly and tightened.
Aw man!
Any reason you didn't look at Yoder? Curious how you feel that would stack up in this list.
We didnt have a yoder
@@embersliving Thank you!
Is their a grill that has all the attachments? Looking for one with a pizza oven, and a flat top grill attachment. I just think all of the pellet grills will eventually get to building them with all of that and wifi.
Traeger pribably has the most attachments
Yes, the Yoder has, a pizza oven accessory, flat top accessory, direct flame insert for searing, wifi, 600 degrees (over 700 in the pizza oven insert). Made in America, built like a tank.
Pizza attachment isn’t necessary. Yes. You can make a pizza in the attachment. You can also make a pizza in the pellet grill without the attachment. Just takes 2 minutes longer.
Do you need any ceramic igniter?
no
Good pellet grill review. I imagine that ten grand eagle grill might come close to producing food as smoke tasty as the new Campchef woodwind with the wood smoke box insert. But I doubt it as nothing beats real wood for that wood smoked offset flavor. I think the new Campchef woodwind is going to shake up the entire industry, time will tell.
Possibly! Thanks for watching!
I agree with SongySan. The Lone Star Grillz 20x36 or 20x42 are one of a kind. the best of the best. You can't put Traeger in the top 10 more or less the top 5.
It is starting to seem that way
F-awesome video
Thank you
What is your discrepancy with broil king?
none
No Campchef Woodwind Pro??
nope
Campchef does charcooil grill, you never mention reqtec, yoder, lonestar or kando.
Thats a lot of grills!! These are the ones Trevor chose. thanks for watching.
Contrary to popular belief 😊
I am still wondering where the last camp chef would fit in this list.
Have to disagree with you on this one, ironwood XL is arguably the best of the bunch there! Great video though
Its a great smoker
Lol😂
You could have picked a day you weren't using a saw in the background.
I know sorry we had to shoot the video though
MAK Grills All Stainless 2 Star General is the ultimate pellet smoking machine.
You guys need to check out Lone Star Grillz
We will!
hmmm why no RecTec's
We dont have any in the shop
No LSG?
What
@@embersliving Lone Starz pellet Grillz
Where's Recteq?
We're trying to get ahole of one
I recently got the Ironwood XL, and so far I'm happy with it. Though I wish there was a model in between the Ironwood and Timberline, with the stainless steel grates and the higher grill chamber, but without the induction side burner.
Also, I looked at the Weber Smokefire because it's built in the US, but found the build quality/fit and finish a lot "less nice" than on the Ironwood (thin metal, sharp edges, no insulation etc).
you made a great choice
I also wish they put stainless grates in the ironwood. I’m big on stainless and partially why I’m considering a recteq along with the ironwood.
Lone star 1
Nice
I assume you are not mentioning yoder because you do not sell them? The ys640s is built like a tank, has wifi, gets up to 600 degrees, direct flame insert for searing, has a pizza oven insert that gets over 700 degrees. It's also a little over 2k and can be built in or on a cart.
Sounds nice!
I’ve seen both pitts and spitts and Yoder side by side in a nearby store. Both have great build quality. In the end, I preferred the pitts. If nothing else, just for the way the Pit door opens. It’s heavy, doesn’t but doesn’t need a counter weight. It literally glides over the cooking barrel. It’s not going to get blown shut.
The Pitts basic cart wheels are another big plus over the Yoder. Don’t need a competition cart to easily roll it out the garage/shed.
Every pellet grill can make a damn good Neapolitan pizza without a special insert. Only it will take a bit longer than 2 minutes. Not a big deal. That Yoder pizza insert is literally a $500 cash grab from Yoder. Looks cool. But so unnecessary. If you get the Yoder (congrats on a great purchase), don’t waste $500 on the pizza insert. Search for “Vito Pellet Grill Pizza” on YT.
When I talked with the store owner about both grills, he said you can’t go wrong with either. Both controllers are stellar. He said the Pitts and Spitts is the most steady temp in the industry. Good or bad.
I know the Lone Star is getting rave reviews, and their fireboard controller temps fluctuate to get a good smoke rolling. Does Yoder share the same controller settings as the LSG? No idea. If so, awesome.
Pitts also gets a good blue smoke rolling, maybe not 100% to the level of LSG, but….
Pitts also has a smoke cage insert I’m most interested in. That’ll be my second accessory purchase, after the cover.
Those r nice pellet grills but they can't compete with a yoder or lonestar!!
We need to test those
No Yoder?
Maybe this year
A good overbuilt pellet smoker is smoking brothers American made as well out of MO.
Nice!
Um exsqeeze me. The Camp Chef Woodwind Pro has a smoker box that can use Charcoal or Wood Chips/Chunks. I watched the video on the Pitts & Spits review and fell like ya'll up there in Colorado live in your own lil'world. There are plenty of American made pellet Grills that are overbuilt. The Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill comes to mind as probably the best PG on the Market if you're looking to spend more than 3K.
So we talk about this in our other videos. We simply don’t have access to every single brand out there to review everything
you can also add a smoke tube or box to any other pellet smoker and put charcoal or wood chips in it.
Where is the Recteq
We have tried
Dude this pants wtf😂😂😂
Thanks for watching
@@embersliving absolutely man, always cools to have a good laugh
Chris Cornell in the background 🥲
haha
Traeger is the IPhone of smokers. It just WORKS!
Please don’t insult my iPhone like that… 😆
Yup, made in China
Man if you are the boss people need to stop running the saws while you are recording. I know work needs to get done but this takes away from your priorities when you are putting these things together. I do enjoy your content, keep it up. But all quiet on the set when recording. I do alright, but I’m pretty sure I’ll never be in the market for a 10k pellet grill. I’m eyeing the Timberline but even that seems like a stretch…..
Sorry the business has got to keep going! Great choice!
When they move to China that was the end for them yak
Thanks for watching!
Contrary to Popular Belief…lol!
ha
A paper review. Never actually using them and seeing and tasting how they perform and no reasoning why one is better than the other.
This is stupid!!! What don’t you rack them is a certain price range??? Of course a $10,000 smoker is going to be #1.
The No.1 spot is a joke. As if "American Made" makes it better or something? I like the videos but putting at £10k machine that just ridiculously pointlessly overengineered versus $1-$2k machines is a bit stupid. If it was $2k yeah it looks good, $3-$4k it would need to be the greatest machine ever ... over $4k you just have too much money in your pocket
A lot of people here In the US care if it’s American made . We do sell more luxury grills as well
@@embersliving yeah that’s fair enough for American market to like American made but it doesn’t usually correspond to better quality. The car market is a great example of that. I don’t think even at half the price the 1st place one would be a good choice.
