Let me begin by saying, a year ago I would have never dreamed of owning one.
Many of my friends have had them for years, I and would always clown on them.
I would crack all the jokes, yet, had never even tasted a single piece of food that
was cooked on one.
About a year ago, things started to change my mind a little. I started noticing that
many of the flips I started to buy were from people that were buying pellet grills.
Then I started having a few friends and customers inquiring if I would do service and
repair work for them. I didn't even know exactly what they were or how they operated.
I just had a false stereotype of what I thought they were. After doing some homework,
I purchased one over Memorial Day. I have now used it about 20 times or so. I have to
admit, I am becoming a bigger fan of this with every use. I can easily see why roughly
30-40% of my flips this year have come from people abandoning their traditional Weber
smokers, kettles, and even Genesis grills for these imported contraptions. The versatility,
as ease of use is simply ridiculous. I have practically paid for mine, by having it allow me
the time to persue other grills to flip, and the time to work on current inventory.
I did this as a joke a couple of months ago on my Genesis page, but the more I think about
it, and the more times I pick up a virtually new Weber product from someone that tells me
they stopped using it when they bought their new pellet grill, the more I see that Weber is
really missing the boat here.
Thoughts?
