Review Of A Very Affordable Portable Pellet Smoker for Only $169.00! / Country Smokers Pellet Grill!

[@tedz.]

Thanks!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thank you so much Ted!

[@TEN32GLOCK]

Yep. Had one for a couple years. Fun grill. I installed an Asmoke 350 lid for more height. The P setting only applies when the controller is set to "Smoke". Its a great little tabletop unit.

That looks really cool. Nice for someone in an apartment or limited space. Thanks Tom.

I got one of the 1st generation ASmoke grills ($150 crowd funding, 4 years ago). It and the Country Smokers are clones of the early Traeger Ranger. That said, some company in China is making these and adding brand features to a base model and slapping a different label on them. The one label that is definitely different between all of them is the price tag and this one takes the prize. Thank you for featuring an affordable version for those looking to give pellet grills a try.

Thanks for watching Ted! It’s quite the deal if you can deal with marginal temp control

[@EricPetersen2922]

That’s pretty good for the price. Nice review Tom

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks Eric! Yes it is!

I had the little Pit Boss like yours a couple of years ago and had an auger fire the third time using it. took it back to Lowe's and bought a full size GMG

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! I’ve not had that happen, thankfully

[@gharv1313]

Nice price and definitely has some similarities, good review Tom! Cheers 🍻

I just checked the Menard's website and it's not currently on sale. It also says "while supplies last" so I don't know how long Menard's will have this in stock.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@smokingtarheel3003]

What do I think? I think we need a Menards down here in NC? Nice review Tom!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Agreed

[@danwaligursky4258]

Nice unit for the price. We do have Menards in Michigan. Been confused with Pit Boss with the P settings. Do the P setting work in conjunction with set dial temp or is it dial temp or P settings?

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Dan it adjusts the dial setting

[@MegaTapdog]

I was told that p settings only affect smoke setting and temp probe is monitored by board and controls any temps above “smoke”
Is that incorrect?

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! I believe you maybe correct

[@StitchJones]

$170 is not bad at all. Cool little unit!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Yes it is! Thanks for Watching!

[@stephentischler961]

Did you have auger jamming issues? I went through two of these. They sent me a second one when the first was bad. Both of them auger jammed every single time. I never got a single cook done on either of them. I've liked the idea of a pellet grill, but this experience has made me afraid to buy a bigger one

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching Stephen! On third cook with no issues

[@drzubradt]

I did get that ASmoke at Mendard's in Iowa for $149 after 11% rebate

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

[@frogbg661]

I had an older pit boss with the analog controller and in my opinion, they produce more smoke flavor than the pid controllers.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! I agree on the smoke!…

[@stevenscarborough6221]

They also have an asmoke on sale for $99.99

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching Steven!

[@john-j7e7e]

ive been trying not to ever buy a slow cooker because i can buy ribs, pulled pork already cooked at places like costco or aldis.
but prices keep coming down on these slow cookers so i dont know anymore.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

[@ericrafter5780]
