Ok I have $250 in Walmart gift certificates. I want to buy a pellet smoker. Are any of the ones Walmart carries worth buying? I have been told the pellets you use are just as important as the smoker. Help me please.

I've heard the reviews on the Zgrill pellet poopers are good and they are inexpensive.

Can you even get a pellet grill for $250? when I bought mine, seemed everything started at $500-$600 and up, up, & up.

Help me please. Are you supposed to use those to re-pay "microsoft" for the over payment of a refund? lol

Well I gotta spend these gift certificates this year. I know I will probably have to put some money with them but I don't mind that long as I can get something of value with them. We were given these by our insurance company so you know I have already been screwed cause they don't give out anything for free.

I looked long and hard at pellet grills before pulling the trigger on my Camp Chef. Several of my neighbors swore by their Treagers. They make good grills don't get me wrong, but after seeing what cleaning process they had to endure to clean the ash, the deciding factor for me was the quick ash dump the Camp Chef offered. I didn't want to have to pull the guts out to clean it each time.
Some folks mouths, flat out runs their minds.

I have an entry level Camp Chef I paid $250 for about five years ago. Some day I will up grade to their best model Best thing for smoking any meat. As far as clean out of the ash, I use an old shop vac and it only takes a few seconds. Takes longer to remove the metal tray to get to the ash cup.

Save your money and buy a reqtec I almost went this route but ultimately the cost was just too much. I figured I can buy three pit bosses for the same money as one rec tec. No way a rec tec outlasts three pit bosses.

No way a rec tec outlasts three pit bosses. It will and it will. Req Tec is the top of the line pellet grill and the customer support is top notch. No other customer support comes close to req Tecs
