That’s why I bought a house , well that and a yard for a dog.

TSC has their name a pellets now. Few bucks cheaper than pitboss. I don't notice any profile flavor differences. Believe i gave $12 a 40lb bag last week.

So, I realized the Costco in-store vs online prices were different. The Treager 33lb bag was $20, and the Kirkland 40lb bag was $13. I grabbed the Kirkland pellets this time, to give them a try.

The biggest problem with the Kirkland pellets is that the bag isn't resealable. So, I'm going to have to use 2 20lb pellet totes to store the whole bag. The Treager 33lb bag is resealable, which is a nice feature.

13 is a steal... I've never seen a resealable bag. Must be the expensive 1s??
I store my pellets in 5gal driveway salt buckets my gf gets from work every winter at McDonalds. I get like 30lbs in each bucket and store in the basement when i get 5 bags or so at a time. Recently it has only been a bag for now.

Reading through this thread gave me the itch for a new grill. We already have a 36" Blackstone and gave our old gas grill to a family member. The debate was down to a pellet grill or a simple charcoal grill. In the end, we decided the 22" Weber Kettle fit our needs best. Looking forward to breaking it in!

Made a good choice. Small learning curve with charcoal but so worth it. I love doing vegetables over charcoal too. Especially asparagus

Second attempt at New York Strips, I think I got it about perfect at 4.5 minutes a side at around 450 degrees

Had time to burn off any residue from the factory and get it a little seasoned. Life is busy right now, but hope to make time this weekend to do some grilling on it.

Nice color choice. I couldn't remember when mine was that clean, but I found a pic...
