    Tex_77 That’s the same unit that the review score was removed from, isn’t it? Are you just willing to take the chance because of the price?

      Joe Hell I read Tex_77 thing with the onion this weekend and I had to mark it as unread so I would remember to look at it again, we are going to try it too, if it works then I’ll talk to our food scientist and see if he can explain the chemical reaction. My wife is a chemical engineer so she might have some input as well!

      On a similar note when I make cheese fondu I always crush a clove of garlic and rub it all around the inside of the pot, it helps the cheese not stick to the pot, I wonder if it is the same type of reaction?

      Jonathon did you ever come up with a answer to the onion question?

          I saw this at Wal-Mart today…if your in the narket I’d check your Wal-Marts for one. I’d be banished from the house if I brought another grill home so soon after just getting one.

                For your friend I would possibly look into a UDS (ugly drum smoker) one can build their own for <$200 or buy a real nice on someone else built for close to double that amount

                    Well i broke in my PK Original Grill this weekend, and it did not fail to impress. It handled direct high temp grilling and 2 zone reverse searing equally well. Now I just need to do some steaks on it. I will also add that it is very fuel efficient. Both of these cooks were done on the same load of charcoal. Darkfish89

                      That looks like a nice grill. Is the housing cast aluminum/alloy? Are the grates plated chrome? Stainless?

                      It should be good for many fine meals

                        processhead Cast Aluminum, probably an alloy I’d guess. The standard grate is chrome plated, they do offer a stainless steel one as well. Here’s a link to get one from Walton’s PK Grill

                          Well finally got my hands on a used Broilmaster. Converted it from NG to LP. Replaced all the guts now it runs like charm and gets as hot as the sun. I noticed when i replaced the burner the old owner had the wrong sized burner it, the new one is much larger. Jonathon you can never have to many grills.

                                So does anyone have the new Treager Timberline or the XL? https://www.traeger.com/pellet-grills/timberline-xl

                                Looks like they come with a lot of features including Meater probes. I learned Traeger now owns the Meater company.

                                  Tex_77 a buddy of mine worked for Traeger so I had 4 diff units with his discount (40-50%). They all had a few warts but turned out some great food. However at the price of these new ones I can’t imagine value unless quality went way up.

                                      Tex_77 figured it was Meat Church. Official seasoning of the “time and temp?” crowd. Honestly that price point is a massive miss in my opinion.

                                        Jamieson22 At $3,500 I could buy a old Volkswagen bug and put a great pellet hopper on it and have a better grill with more space and still have money to burn on options. I thought $1,000 was a lo when I bought my Texas elite many years ago, but it was made in Oregon, not in China.

                                          They are certainly pricey, coming in higher than a Yoder YS640.
