At times it all rests on your style of barbequing and what kinds of flavors you like. Whether you need a grill for the next family outing, or for your next graduation party, let one of our employees at Dye Home Improvement in Monticello and Monon advise and direct you in the right direction. The debate of a wood pellet or smoker grill, which do you prefer? Let’s compare. Let us introduce a pellet grill. A pellet grill is made to use wood pellets. These wood pellets come in assorted kinds of woods, and flavors like pecan, hickory, cherry, apple, maple and more. Some grillers like to mix the pellets for a rare flavor or to begin new family recipe secrets. Pellet grills have a subtler smoke flavor that keeps you from over smoking your food. They are easy to use; you just add the wood pellets and set the temperature to focus on the meaningful things; like your family. Pellet grills have a steady temperature and can even regularly add the pellets for you when needed. Some new grills even have WIFI capabilities to connect to an app on your phone. They are comparable to other grills, but can those other grills braise, bake, smoke, and grill this easily? Let’s press on to a smoker grill. The main reason everyone buys a smoker is to smoke the food! You are willfully looking for smoke flavor in your meat and vegetables and for it to be delicate and barbequed unhurried to perfect quality. Some people can put meat in and go to sleep and not even think about looking at it until they get up in the morning. This is quite inconceivable with a charcoal or gas grill for some glaring reasons. Smokers can be charcoal, gas, electric or wood fueled. Some electric smokers also have WIFI options. Charcoal smoker grills produce the smokiest flavors, even adding wood chunks to the charcoal can add some additional flavor. Most smokers have the same functions and design. Some have a water basin and wood chip basin placed at the bottom of the smoker. And then either water or sand can be placed in the water basin. The wood provides the smoky flavor while the water or sand helps provide a steady heat. Some smoker grills are designed to smoke meat in a long chamber, placed alongside the heat source rather than directly above it. Make sure to remember to use a BBQ thermometer, some grill Pros say to use 2 thermometers so you can control it like an oven, and to help you test the temperature of the BBQ before digging in, since smoking meat makes it more troublesome to verify if it’s done or not. Smoking takes time to get to grilling perfectness; let the smoker grill be your getaway and have some patience during the process and get cookin’. Wood Pellet or Smoker Style?
