I've owned the Chimp for more than 1 year now and really like it. I'll make a few additional comments:
1) Remote Start: I keep it in the garage (not powered) and so when I go get it ready, I'll roll it out, plug it in (this will turn on the wifi and get itself online) and when I want to turn it on, I'll do it via the app.
2) The lower-half of the barrel is double-walled. This is awesome. I'm in West Michigan, a few miles from Grilla Grills HQ and it really shows that this is designed to be used in the harsh weather (15f and windy, and this does a really good job), no jacket required for this fella. It does burn more pellets, but you'll expect that.
My 71 year old mom visited me last summer and was so impressed by it, she ended up buying one and uses it regularly for herself.
Just ordered my SB AT a couple days ago. Now we just hafta wait .... thanks for a great review!!
I am really enjoying your channel... well done!
Several months ago I stumbled upon your Best Pellet Grills under $1199 video. I knew the AT Silverbac was the pellet grill I was going to get when the time came. Well, that time came tonight. I'm happy to see this video now and see that the Grilla Grills Silverbac is still turning heads. I feel very confident in my choice of pellet grills. Thanks for the video(s)! Keep up the awesome work. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some pellet smoking to plan for.
I've been using a Silverback (normal not off-road) for about 2 years now & agree with you on many of your points. The deal breaker for me is the opening height. The 9" is just way to small if you smoke decent sized prime ribs & turkeys. This is the main reason I'm looking elsewhere for my next pellet grill. My other issue is the heat shield on mine has become warped causing cleaning to be a royal pain. I've got 100s of great cooks with this grill so I have no regrets getting it.
Excellent review, I made the purchase, liked, and subscribed...Keep up the great work sirrrrrrr😎👍
Congrats on your new grill! I know you're going to love it. I just cooked a brisket the other day and then a hotel pan full of smoked brisket chili, so I know that grill can throw down!
Great review. I just purchased a Silverback a few months back after saving and researching different grills for over 6 months. The various stainless components of the grill and the double walled insulation are really what sold me. I also purchased several accessories such as the front shelf and sauce caddy both were stainless too and the AT cart which was a little pricey but once you see the quality it is understandable. I have done almost 15 cooks on it and it has been great. Because of the build quality would definitely recommended spending a little extra for this pellet grill. Hard to beat at this price point.
Any issues with too little smoke?
Good review 👍
Great info! Besides the pellet release door, is there anything else you would like to see them change/upgrade? Thank you
I like the wheels the most about this bbq
Smoked a couple London Broils and in under 1 hour at 275 we had the most tender juicy and smoked with smoke ring. It actually looked and tasted like brisket. I call it a poor man’s brisket. Hardly ever saw any smoke during cook so this is the real deal. I only wish they would provide a more heavy duty grill cover for the Silverback.
Very cool. So far positive comments on recteq and Silverback
Nice job! Y’all stay warm! Looks like this is gonna be a rough one!
Fingers crossed! I think we have all the groceries, secondary heating and essentials covered, but we'll see how it turns out. We fired up and tuned up the snowblower yesterday, so I think we're about as ready as we can be. I hope you guys stay warm too. Down there, I'm sure snow can wreak havoc.
I recently bought a Zgrill 700E XL they’re very similar
What a great review. As far as dependability, I've had my SB for about 5 years with no issues whatsoever.
That's great to hear! Thanks for the comment, and all the best.
They must’ve made a better product 5 years ago. I have a brand new one that won’t stay lit. They’ve sent me multiple fixes and nothing works. Getting a refund to get a better brand.
We use aluminum foil under grill to provide easy clean up.
Would you consider reviewing the ‘ThermaQ 2’ bbq thermometer? You do the best reviews.
Great review! When I was deciding it was between this and the RecTeq RT-700. I decided to go with the RecTeq but think I would have been very happy with the Grilla Grill.
Right on!
you made the right choice
Great Review! Would love to win the Silverbac!
it seems like this is my best bet for my first pellet smoker, i have a propane grill so im not super worried about the grill aspect mainly smoking. only thing is the single probe, do most people tend to use 2 or more probes? i assume it would be nice if im smoking different meats at once, so is that a show stopper? ill mainly be butts, ribs, and brisket, but only one at a time.
Hello David :)
i started following you recently thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos
its been over a year that i want to get a electric Pellet smoker but there always seems to be problems with every model out there, i just want to be able to start smoking my own brisket thats what im wishing for ... i get discouraged with all the technical issues people complain about that i end up giving up, i just want to find that "almost perfect grill" but also not pay a crazy amount so ideallyyy under 1300 USD
Any suggestions ?
I think he just suggested the Silverbac to you. All stainless internals, Wi-Fi controller, double wall insulation, AT cart, all under 1300? You don’t find that with others.
I've tested a bunch of pellet grills over the last year, 14 or 15 I think? Here's what I would do if I was just going to buy one of them. I really like the Silverbac AT. The cart is phenomenal, easy to move around, the grates are my favorite of the 15 i've tested. I love the build quality and the app works easily without a bunch of headache. If I was new to pellet grills and I wanted the app to control everything, I'd go with a Traeger. There's not another app out there that I've encountered that can hang with Traeger's. Integrated recipes and the works. You'll have a thinner metal grill that's not great at grilling temperatures, but it's very easy for beginners with the integrated app control. If I wanted tons of space and wanted to cook in the winter, I'd look at the ZGrills 1100 model. Double walls and gasket around the entire cook chamber with a voluminous main chamber is hard to beat. So, I don't think you can go wrong with any of those depending on what you're wanting to accomplish.
@TheBarbecueLab omgggg thankkk you soooooo much for taking this time to respond to my comment, very kind of you, god bless you and your family
Yeah actually i was planning on using it during winter possibly, so i will consider the Zgirll you mentioned
Would the Grilla Grill Silverbac be good for winter you think ?
I would go either for the zgrill 1100 or the silverbac ... now gotta make up my mind about which one asap while theyre on sale :)
This grill has so many things I like BUT the lack of an ash dump system is really killing it for me. Seems like such a simple and archaic thing that should be in all grills.
They don't have one because ash dumps don't actually work. Any grill that has one still require you to vacuum out the inside.
@@larryzielinski7067 Agreed. RUclips for grills that have ash dumps... also you're talking just pulling a grate, a drip tray, and that's it. It's not like you're disassembling a dozen parts
Did he say that the smokers caulked?
Where
I assume you can smoke with no heat like for cheese, jerky, etc?
The only way I know how to smoke with no heat in a pellet grill is to use a pellet tube and not light the grill. I’m not aware of a pellet grill in this price range that can smoke cheese with no heat.
Does it get hot enough to use a griddle? If so which griddle should I get?
I haven't tried a griddle on the Silverbak, but that's an interesting test idea.
Do you think the silverback can take the place of a gas grill and smoker?
It really depends on how you use your grill and your smoker, but the short answer is yes. As far as it functions as a smoker, it's as good as any Traeger or Pit Boss that I've used from a grilling and smoking perspective. On the grill side of things, it's just different from a direct fire grill in that it doesn't grill directly over fire. It's radiant heat that happens above the baffle plate, so yes it will grill, but it won't flame broil directly over flames. We have ours on the patio still even a year after we did this review, so we must like it for it to stay when so many others find their way to storage.
Generally all purpose cookers aren’t good at any one cook method. I use a gas grill for hot and fast cooks. I use my Silverbac strictly for low and slow cooks. I’m pleased with my Silverbac but it does run hotter than the app indicates. I suggest you use a different temp probe for the ambient temperature.
Bought the non-wifi version and I couldn’t be any less happy. I get barely any smoke on either setting and Im on my 3rd motherboard. Get a different smoker, folks
After looking at the app ratings for the Grilla Grills Alpha Connect, I can’t get myself to buy a Grilla. The Apple Store Grilla app only shows 59 ratings and only has a 2.8 out of 5 stars. Lots of complaints. On the contrary, Traeger, Rec Teq and Camp Chef have thousands of reviews and are well above 4.5 out of 5.
The app is the least of Grillas worries. I have a brand new one that doesn’t work even after multiple “fixes”. They are complete junk.
@@bradtoepfer289 Ahhhh man. That sucks. Sorry to hear that. So hard to know what to believe. The Grilla OG is the perfect size and shape for my needs but have been really nervous to pull the trigger on buying. Thx for the heads up. Hope something works out for you.
After replacing the control board and rtd, they figured out that two wires were backwards. Fixed that and now up and going! Frustrating but at least they found the issue.
@@bradtoepfer289 Thx for update. Glad you are up and running. I’m still undecided on a pellet grill.
I must say, I had a traeger for 8 years with zero issues. When I upgraded, I looked at a lot of grills in person and thought they were all cheaply and poorly made. My Grilla Silverbac is a tank and built stout! Outside of my initial issue, I think this grill is the best bang for your buck. It’s really impressive.
