As a former Qstoves+ user, switching to Asmoke was a total game-changer for me. The precise temperature control offered by Asmoke's digital controller has made grilling so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Plus, the ASCA™ technology has truly delivered on its promise of better cooking results and easier cleaning. I also love how I can remotely adjust the temperature and monitor the food temperature via the app. What a convenience! The portable design is a huge bonus too, making it perfect for outings. And let's not forget about the variety of flavors from the wood pellets - it's like a whole new culinary adventure each time I grill. Thanks to Asmoke, I've rediscovered the joy of grilling. #Asmoke

As an avid griller who has used Qstoves+ before, switching to Asmoke has been a game changer for me. Asmoke's technology, ASCA™, has truly enhanced my cooking, made it more efficient, and cleaning is so much easier. Their FlameTech patent with dual sensors and the new PID algorithm is a major upgrade as it ensures temperature control within 5°F. I also love the ability to remotely adjust the temperature and monitor my food via the app. The portability of Asmoke is another great feature, I can take it camping, tailgating, and on road trips. It's lightweight and the battery-powered system makes it perfect for any outdoor setting. Most importantly, the flavor that the wood pellets give to my food is unmatched. So, from my experience, if you're thinking of buying a Pellet Grill, Asmoke is the way to go. #Asmoke

Steven if you don't mind me asking why did you go with the upright vs a conventional style like the one in this video?

[@ScoutyBoyO]

@@tylersnyder6756 I had a traditional charcoal grill and the upright looked like it had a ton of room. It does. I think the only advantage of the traditional pit Boss is that it has a searing plate.

[@johnnycampbell3422]

I have had a Traeger for about 8 years. I cook on it 3-5 times a week for a large family. It does not sear steaks (so, reverse sear on the stove). Pellets are cheap average $1 per cook (charcoal costs $5-10). Easy to use and clean. Gives great results.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Agreed!

[@MadFox-jr6by]

You just described why this Pit Boss is the better grill. The Pit Boss has a sliding grate to give you a direct flame sear station, much better than pan searing.

[@johnnycampbell3422]

@MadFox-jr6by agreed. Though cleaning is harder. Pitboss didn't exist when I got mine. I often consider a different grill, but I still enjoy and use mine often. I strongly recommend pellet grills and believe there are options and price points for most anyone. Enjoy yours, I just bought a 9lbs tenderloin to cook tomorrow for a Christmas gathering.

Those Green Mountain Grills have no opening sear plate? That’s a bummer. Why do the window frames in the lid look all wavy and warped on their web site? Are they all like that? Every grill I’ve ever had with a window, it just turns black and you get sick of cleaning it. The sear plate is much better than a window, IMHO.

If you are in the market for a pellet smoker the Pit Boss 1150 Pro Series for $600 at Lowes.com is the best choice for cooking surface, price, and features. 1) 1150sq inches of cooking surface 2) Ash clean out "bucket" that you can clean out without taking all the grills, and plates out after each cook to vacuum or pull out ash by hand out of the fire box (THIS FEATURE IS WORTH THE PRICE ALONE TRUST ME!) 3) WiFi controller 4) Flame plate slide rod so you can open and close the direct flame for charring by pulling a rod on the outside of the pit compared to having to take a grate off and moving the plate with tongs 5) Grease bucket easy collection and disposal of grease 6) Locking wheels 7) Upper rack for varying flame and temps to have hot, mid, and low temp areas 8) 32ib pellet hopper 9) Front and side shelves 10) 2 meat probes If you want a big pellet smoker, currently the Pit Boss 1150 Pro Series Pellet Grill at Lowes.com is $600. It has 1150sq inches of cooking surface, a pull rod to open or close your direct flame plate, an easy to empty fire box ash cleanout at the bottom so you don't have to vacuum out the fire box after every use, (or do like I do to clean it out and use your hands to pull out all the built up ash after every cook-yeah that sucks), a WiFi controller, 2 meat probes and grease bucket for easy clean up. Currently ONLY the "PRO" series of Pit Boss has the ash clean out and it is the same price as the "Sportsmen" Series. It has all the features and cooking surface of the rest at half the price. Check it out if you are in the market for a pellet smoker. I bought a Pit Boss Austin XL with 930sq inches of cooking surface on sale at Walmart for $447 before and $497 after tax, but no flame plate rod, so i have to take the grate off and grab the plate with a pair of tongs to open and close, and no ash bucket so i have to clean out the ash with my hand, but besides that I love it, just wish i would have know about the Pro series and i would have gotten it instead.

[@reneluna249]

I hear good things about this. I usually use charcoal so I’m undecided on this one I wonder if people that used charcoal also liked this

[@johnnyg507]

I also have ceramic grill (C-Griller Akorn) and I recently purchased a pellet grill (Feb 2021) and I love it. I like my Akorn too and had it for nearly 2 years before making the pellet purchase... My #1 is the temperature control I get with the pellet grill. To a large degree, these are "set-it-and-forget-it" in terms of temp. With my Akorn, I didn't have any of the fancy (pricey) devices that you can use to regulate temp -- I was always having to adjust one of the dampers one way or another to try to keep the temp from under/over-running. However, one "pro" of the Akorn/charcoal is that I can get it super hot for searing. I find that my pellet grill (Z-grills model) maxes out about 450°-ish. For most, they will say that's plenty hot to sear a steak... I prefer a bit more in the lower 500° - 525° range, which I can achieve pretty easily with the Akorn and some lump charcoal. But, that's about the only reason I have kept it. Other than that, I have used the pellet grill all the time for smoking, slow-cooking, etc; the results have been delicious! Besides the temperature control, other "pros" for the pellet grill (in my opinion): easy start-up (no charcoal chimney or fire-starter setup needed), clean (no black, charcoally hands); relatively cheap fuel (~$16 for 40lb bag - depending on brand, that's at least somewhat cheaper than the lump charcoal I was using), self-shutdown/cooling mode (mine runs for about 10-15min when turned to shutdown and is pretty much ready to be cleaned and put away after that; my Akorn sometime would hold the high temps for hours after a cook). Anyway, just my thoughts. ;-)

Great video. Do you need to remove unused pellets after each cook? Was hoping that if I got this grill I could leave some pellets in the hopper and add when needed during the summer cookouts each weekend. Im guessing moisture may ruin the pellets if they sit too long or does the hopper do a good job keeping moisture out.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Oh ya! Leave it full!

[@AllanWorks]

@@OutdoorsAllie bad advice if you live in a humid climate. the pellets absorb moisture from the air breaking them down then dry out on a hot day causing the auger to jam. it's better to dump the pellets back into the bag or bucket after each use. it's like cement when it rehardens.

[@AV8R_1]

I have a pit boss pro 820 (PS2?) and it has done pretty well so far for smoking, but I am apprehensive about using it for a grill. Mainly for two reasons. First one is it seems to me with only one spot where there is a flame that the overall grill surface inside would not heat evenly. And second as you mentioned, the sear opening, seems like a good way to drip grease from your food into the little metal part where the pellets are burning. It’s bad enough having to vacuum out ash from the little pot, without it being mixed with grease and drippings from your food. Any thoughts?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Yes, some grease will drip but it hasn't affected my ability to grill. Just takes a bit longer to clean! Thanks for watching.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Ive been using Pit Boss Competition Blend primarily. No complaints.

[@shrinermonkey1]

While I appreciate the ease of use of pellet grills, they just can't give you the flavor of charcoal or wood. I had a Camp Chef pellet grill and the food coming off if it never had much smoke flavor and it was terrible at doing any searing. I can do both with my Masterbuilt Gravity series 1050. Granted the build quality on the 1050 is not great, it has been turning out excellent food for the past year for me. I will be upgrading when the 1050 dies to either a MGrills M1 or a Hasty Bake coupled with a temp controller like a BBQ Guru.

[@johnnyg507]

I have a C-Griller Akorn and now a Z-Grills pellet grill. My "taste-palate" may be limited, but I don't notice any significant difference in taste - I use a Quebracho Blanco (Jealous Devil) lump charcoal in the Akorn and the Pit Boss Competition Blend pellet in the Z-Grill. The pellets are wood. The grill burns wood. Personally, I think if you are *looking* for a difference in taste, you will find it with most anything, but just my opinion. My grandfather used to say he could taste the microwaves too. :-) I will agree with the limited sear capability ... my pellet grill maxes out about 450° and I like a little hotter for a good sear -- 500°-525°. But, that's the only real "con" I have with the pellet grill. I *love* the temp control. Yes, you can add temp control to most charcoal grills with a BBQ Guru-type device, but those are going to range anywhere from $220-$360 (current prices for Guru device options for my Akorn as of 5/2021) *on top of the price of the grill*. I used my ceramic charcoal grill for 2y+ before I decided to go the pellet route and I have had no regrets. I still use my ceramic grill occasionally, but usually only related to a desire for the higher temps, not because of taste.

@@OutdoorsAllie Oooooor, maybe you could make some videos to maybe explain the process a bit better than the other videos I’ve watched. I’ve learned that external temperature can play a factor with the accuracy of the pit boss. But even in the summer I don’t think slowly cooking a ham is a good option, at least for the taste I’m looking for. I like what a ham tastes like when it’s cooked in the oven but I wanted a bit of a smoke flavour, so the second time I tried the ham I jacked the pit boss up to the higher oven temperature and it was a better but still had a very dry half inch layer that I found very unsettling. The more inner part was what I liked and it was tastier then my previous experience. Is there anything that I should know about cooking such a big piece of an animal? Thanks

[@rudyburgess8106]

You probably need to reduce your temperature ! The biggest mistakes most people make with grills are flame and temperature. You cook with heat, not flame and meat is done when it reach a specific temperature. It will continue to cook after you take it off the heat. Get the time and temp right and you will never fail.

@@rudyburgess8106 have you done a bone in ham on your grill by chance? In an oven it’s cooked at 325 but the videos on KZbin say to cook it at a lower heat.

I would suggest 1) watching KZbin videos where someone outlines the entire process of cooking your desired cut of meat *on a pellet grill* vs any other way and/or 2) go to the pellet grill company websites (ie: Pit Boss, Z-Grills, Traeger, etc) and look for their recipe pages. I did a pulled pork on my pellet grill (on of my first cooks) and I followed the same method I had used with my ceramic grill -- this was a huge mistake and did not taste right, was not as near as tender as I was used to. I learned my lesson -- that is, my recipes and grilling process for my pellet grill is different than what I use for my ceramic.

Nope. BGE or Stick Burner. Pretty limited due to the power requirement. I have friends that have and love them due to their no brainer requirements and ease of use. I'll stick with old school cooking with fire. Different strokes as they say. Enjoy.

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

Stick burner 4 life 😆

I the same about my Samsung Oven with convection and water adding- it has temp control and unlike a pellet. Grill it has a self clean function. My Kamado on the other hand is a great smoker.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks Paul! 👍

[@jrwithrow]

wish i would have seen this b4 i got my zgrill - trash assembly on that one, more expensive and seems to have less features.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Dang, that's no good.

[@dilloncady35]

Do you recommend Pit Boss Sportsmen series, Pro Series, or Navigator series?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Personally, I'd go with the Sportsman! I know Lowe's carries quite a few options if you wanted to check out a few models.

[@newnewoldold]

What would suggest for first time buying a pellet grill?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Depending on how much room you have I'd go with the 820!

[@postal3212]

How well does this work for large parties? Like if everyone brings their own meats. Or are they more of a slow cooker?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Very well. We cook for 10-15 people quite often!

[@scotteduzntno8671]

I see a pitboss 820 at lowes, but not sportsman. Know the difference?

[@singdycharoeun1815]

i came here for her

[@yamamastes]

Yup, stayed for that one headlight. Was waiting for the second one.

[@mikepeifer6502]

Sold!!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

They're awesome!

[@sebhal27]

merci

[@timskiff9422]

Got a GMG daniel boone, I wouldnt buy another one. Doesnt heat enough, even at 500 it is slow slow slow. It smokes pretty good with smoke tube, not so good without it.

[@greenidguy9292]

Well if you prefer to cook hot and fast a pellet grill probably isn’t for you.

[@kvnjhnsn9]

what are your thoughts on Pit Boss' new navigator series?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Everything they make is gold!

[@seanycha]

I need one!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Doooooo it!

[@wterrencemooney2718]

Wow You do other things to .

[@B_mount]

Does the wifi connection allow you to control the grill from anywhere or do you have to be connected to the same wifi in order to control Temps?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

This model does not offer Wifi.

[@michiganmagneto]

That Grill will make ME an amazing cook? That would be quite a task since I'm probably the only guy on the planet that can burn water. 😀

[@OutdoorsAllie]
