I just purchased this exact grill and all I can say is I’m so glad I did. The smoke box has truly been a game changer. The amount of smoke it adds is crazy good. I was debating between a pellet grill and offset but this gives you both.
Ken, this is a cool grill/smoker, I am gpoing to stay with your advice though with an offset wood smoker grill or a combo , where I can grill steake over the grates as well as the side box , I saw one & now I have to find it on here , lol, 2 reasons for my decision are both pellet related , 1) you said smoked meat was better with realwood than with most pellets unless competetion grade I expect 2) the price is steep for the good pellets. Here in Kentucky we smoke with hickory, apple, woods, mainly we like it & it's free as they grows like regular lawn grass here. Just cuttin' & splittin' & with my health I would have to pay someone to do the work , or wood share where they cut for me & them & their's is free for the work they did.
Hi there Steve! Hope you had a good holiday. Yep......nothing beats Real Wood......so a Stick Burner will be the Best for You. But........if You are still looking for the convenience of a pellet grill.......I just showed how it is possible to have the best of both worlds. 😁 All I use is cheap pellets from Sam's, "made in the USA", for the heat,........and now I'll use small slivers of splits for True Wood Smoked Flavor. You got options my friend. 👍😁 Thanks again for hanging with me and my experiments. 🤘
Heey Kenneth, great idea for a hybrid stickburner. I wonder, should you add a squared pipe in an angle to get a bit of a rocket stove idea inside a pellet grill so you get some sort of automated wood fired smoker? Also, do you know a way to automate the dampers on the back side to even further automate the temp control?
Nope......and that's the point of my video. They say once your wood ignites, shut the valve and it will smolder.......Nope.....it burns. 🔥 But to be honest........with me burning splits, you want it burning clean with complete combustion.....just like a True Stick Burner. 🔥👍
You need to pony up for Pitts and Spitz hybrid. I think when droor closed no oxygen. Smolder, have opening wide open oxygen. Just think if you took your door off your Johnson. I've seen them soak wood chunks just to get them to smolder. Ps all I have is wood chunks should I glue them together to perform this test?
Well John......the P n S are way too pricey for me to play. And to be honest their system to reload is not convenient. 👎 I believe all of these attempts to get smoldering wood is a failure.....once they ignite......they stay burning......I showed it in my first Vid. And really, a Clean Burning real Wood Split is what You truly want. 🔥👍 Soaking doesn't work......it may delay the time before it ignites....but it will. I'll send You some splits......No Glue Please. 😁 Take Care! 🤘

You made a good choice..........who has time to tend to a stick burner fire these busy days. Metal On! \🔥/
I was surprised how clean the stix burned Ken. Cool experiment Bud!
Hi there Rob! Yep.....super Clean.....just like you want with a Stick Burner. 🔥👍

Hell Yeah.....Metal On! \🔥/

@Heavy Metal Bar-B-Que you are welcome pal, yes a wood burner is going to be more economical for me

Wow.........that would truly be taking things to the next level. 👍 We'll see down the road? Thanks!!! 👍
NOICE!!!!!!!

😁 It's what I do! \🔥/
Are you getting smoke with the stick constantly burning like that? Not really seeing it. Thanks for trying this.
