Which grill?

[Josh752]

Hey everybody brand new to the pellet grill scene been really wanting to get into it and read a lot of reviews and stuff. But I really want to hear what everyone has to say about these 3 grills I’ve narrowed down to which one would you get and what’s best for a beginner ? I’m choosing between the
Austin XL
Laredo 1000
And the tractor supply sold 1000ti or something like that? Which one should I go for thanks!

bigger is better, but Laredo would work for me,,,,,"Siri, flip a coin"

Okay awesome just wanted to see if all 3 were high quality grills that will last and be worth it based on research they all seem to be!

Welcome to our group. I have the KC Combo and like the choice of smoking or grilling.

Any of those will be fine but be aware pellet grills require patience and a learning curve. I have heard good things about the Austin XL and it is probably cheaper than the others.

My son in-law has the Austin XL for years and loves it, with no issues.

Welcome!

After looking more for the price and quality I’ve decided on the Austin xl can’t wait to join the grill gang!

Just wrapping up the burn in tonight! Doing my first cook attempting 321 ribs on Monday!

Grab a pork but and throw it on for a 10 hour smoke . Itz the easiest to smoke. Your already running your grill for 5 whats another 5.

Rub with a little mustard then put a good coating of your favorite dry rub on it. Smoke 225 for 8 to 10 hours. No fuss no muss. No need to wrap or anything. Goes great as a side for ribs lol

Sounds good man I actually turned it off before this but sounds like a great Super Bowl idea!

Welcome to the forum. I have an 850 Pro with recently upgraded controller and am quite happy with it. I think you'll do well with any of those grills.

All the grills work pretty well and the food tastes great! I have a Austin xl and I am very happy with it. The only thing I am not happy with is the poor to no customer service that I experienced when a problem did arise. So flip a coin take a chance and hope for the best with costumer service, I might look elsewhere because when it comes down to it the product is only as good as the company behind the product…
