My Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker Encyclopedia

Hi, I’m Chris. I started PelHeat.com back in 2007.

Hi, I’m Chris and welcome to my blog about pellet grills/smokers and the pellets they use. I’ve been making, burning and using pellets since 2007. I have experience and knowledge in the process of making wood pellets using small scale and commercial-scale equipment. While I’ve left the pellet production industry my interest in pellet grills/smokers has remained. When I first got into pellets it was pretty much just Traeger, however, there are now over 30 brands that I know of offering pellet grills/smokers. I’m sharing everything I know about pellet BBQs, the good and the bad, their strengths and their weaknesses.
