Hello all,
I've been mainly a charcoal guy for years (Large BGE, Kamado Joe Jr, Weber Performer, Weber Smoky Mountain, Smokey Joes, etc.) and just purchased my first pellet grill. I was minding my own business at Costco when I saw the Silverton and it caught my eye. The features were nice and my wife said it looked good too, so I ended up walking out of the store with it. I got the older model without the WiFi and D2. I also picked up a bag of Traeger Hickory pellets and Cherry Pellets.
I loaded up the hopper full of hickory pellets and did the burn in. The smell was odd or not charcoal like and I assume that was the oils/chemicals getting burned off.
So far did 2 cooks: wings and brats, then reverse seared steaks. The cast iron grate that came with the Silverton did a decent job in make grill marks.
One thing i did notice is that the smell of the pellets burning is quite different and not in a good way from the charcoal grills with or without wood chunks/chips. I was wonder what everyone's opinion is on the smoke odor difference between pellets and charcoal with/without wood chunks.
