Louisiana grills colonial greenwood

The really old Louisiana had a dial for temp as opposed to the exact number PID controllers. Even before that they had a paddle wheel instead of an auger. I would make sure it has at least a PID controller, and auger feed. As long as it works and has those features should be OK.

I guess it depends on how much you are getting it for. As long as it has the auger, you should be able to upgrade to the PID for 200 or less. If it's in good shape otherwise and you can replace the controller it may be worth it. You can run it with those controllers but it's strictly timing based, so very primitive to what is out there these days.

Pellet grills aren't that complicated. Most of the replacement parts are cheap so if you get a steal you can probably have it good as new for a few hundred dollars.
