We'll have to agree to disagree then. Perhaps its my Broil King. I've taken to add wood dust trays to increase the 'smokeyness'. Cooked fair few briskets on my WSM, can't get a similar bark on my BK.

I've had a WSM for some time, but I bought a Broil King pellet grill, just for the convenience. Pellet grills are great, but just don't give that total smoky experience IMO, that charcoal and or wood chunks can give you.

I could let you know the price of brisket :)

In the UK, we are paying the equivalent of $7.20, if my maths is correct.

Had a similar thing with my Broil King, it was the controller, as you say not adding enough pellets.

Nope. I did ask Weber UK a while ago, and they have no date when the Searwood was going to be available to buy. Thats why I went over to the dark side and bought a Broil King!

Still available with Weber in the UK with 5 year warranty. Some dealers however, do not have stock of EX6 or Stealth's. Probably another year till they run out of stock.

Does the controller just give you these numbers 1-10, or does it also provide actual temperature readings?

Just recently joined the pellet grill club, with a Broil King. I admit not to have done that many cooks, love the convenience, but not converted yet to the amount of smokiness of a PG. My son has a gravity fed Masterbuilt, which for those that don't know uses charcoal, and you can add wood...

My BK ramps up changing from smoke to roast, and roast to sear. As does the regularity of auger movements and time duration. With my faulty grill, the controller just didn't add enough pellets, for long enough to go from 250'C to 315'C.

I think I'd go back to Weber. I emailed all sorts at BK, posted on facebook pages, then suddenly BK MD rang me...........

I'm new to pellet grills, but if you leave them in the hopper, they will get exposed to the atmospheric conditions. I always keep my Digestive Biscuits in a biscuit tin, otherwise they will be too soft for dunkin!

@Yngve Nordby has this always been the case? My Broil King 500, did exactly the same. Just wouldn't get over 260'C. BK try replacing hot rod, temperature sensor. In the end replaced the grill. It was suspected it was the controller. Apparently, they have a problem with one on four with...

The fire pot etc, all looks a bit finicky & flimsy to me as well.

Only reached 338 last night. Had to finish off my burgers on the George Foreman!

Damn it. This BK doesn't work. They've gave me a refund, but don't want the thing back!

Well BK say the grill can reach 600'F. Since I've had the 500, sometimes it plateaus at 60'C, sometimes it reaches 260'C, when the set point is 315'C. Its unreliable. I grilled some steaks the first night I had (260) and they were a bit undercooked. I thought that was becaues the ambient temp...

Yep, technicians also bought their own.

Just thought I'd update, if anyone's interested. Had my Regal 500 for two weeks now. I can't get it above 260'C, 500'F old money. Replaced the hot rod, temperature probe and two BK people look at it. Yesterday told to remove the wifi, just to make sure the app wasn't imposing itself, apparently...

RIP Lew.
