So I’ve been a pellet convert for a couple of years now. Had a yoder 640 and loved it, but the Memphis Elite kept calling me so I sold the Yoder and picked up the Elite. Been enjoying it, and thought my taste buds had converted to pellet life, BUT we r heading to the Husker/Maryland game this weekend and I dont want to hassle with the Davy Crockett pellet grill while tailgating (space and weight, etc) so I pulled out the Acorn mini I had sitting in the shed (and hadn’t used in over a year) and thought I’d make some burgers as a trial run before Saturday...
Let me tell you, everyone in the family said the burgers were better than the burgers I cook on the Memphis! Last time I cooked on this grill was steaks in the camper and all I tasted was lump charcoal...wasn’t very good to me (and I cooked on a ceramic kamado for 8 years)...but these burgers tonight were on time! I’m gonna cook up some creekstone ribeyes tomorrow just to see how they do, but now all of a sudden I’m looking at weber summit charcoal cook stations...I won’t go with another kamado as I’ve been there and done that and they have too many shortfalls in smoking imo....but 90% of my cooking is weeknight grilling/reverse sear steaks, burgers, chops, fish, etc as opposed to ribs, brisket, butts, etc.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I am seriously considering going back to charcoal grilling and would get an offset smoker (Shirley patio or lsg for the infrequent bbq cooks). And in NOT really a Weber fan at all....Anyone else go from pellets BACK to another kind? We hear a lot of people going TO pellets it seems....and here I have 1000lbs of lumberjack pellets being delivered tomorrow too
