GMG is a great value, I think one of the best PID and wireless apps and I've owned the Daniel Boone for over 5 years. The next time i'd buy will be when someone solves the clean out issues with not just a removable burn pot but also a slide out floor for easy vacuuming. Blaz'n Grill Works has a nice pull out for the burn pot, if they just added a pull out or two for the rest of the floor i'd be in. Also interested in the pellet pro upright if they fixed the fan by integrating it better and both companies polished the wifi app cosmetics.

Rec Tec Bull FTW.

+1 for the reqtec bull. Had mine for over year and love it.

Great review thank you. 👏👏👏

[@skowmi5681]

Great presentation! Thanks for all your efforts putting the video together. I’ve been on the fence about buying a pellet grill. Think I’m gonna go with a GMG.

What happened to Pellet Pro? No longer on the internet!

[@SmokeMasterD]

They are still around. They just haven't ever been reviewed by Amazing Ribs. You can see me look at Pellet Pro in this episode ruclips.net/video/3Dgh8eZB-Ps/видео.html

So which is the best

[@SmokeMasterD]

Very hard to say with certainty. Different grills fit different needs and price ranges. I'd love a two star general, but for the moment I’ll settle for my pit boss with a few upgrades 🙂
