I'd like to know how that turns out. I've tried smoking a few as a cheaper alternative to brisket, but it always falls short of a hard sear on a hot grill, imo. So, sous vide and finished on the grill sounds interesting.

I'm seeing reviews online that the Treagar's are great pellet smokers but the Camp Chef's are just as good for $100-$200 cheaper on a comparable model. Your experience and research confirm this?

It’s hard to tell what’s what. The auger and heating units are the weak spots typically but it’s hard to tell build quality of those components. Also the steel ought to be fairly heavy for heat retention. It doesn’t need to be 1/2” steel but it needs to not be tin foil. |

Treagar's are more name than quality anymore. Still fine, but you're paying the uptick for the brand. Look into GMG grills or Rectec's. |

I have an entry level Camp Chef pellet smoker and while its my first and have no experience with other brands I dont see the eating pellets issue. I have been going on a 20 lb bag from mid winter till now with what I would consider heavy use grilling and smoking and I will look for pellet sales at memorial day. But I am not in fear of running out.
I like the convenience of pellets but quality of smoke flavor fall well short of Weber Smokey Mountain or a good offset smoker IMO.

I`m smoking a tri tip at 250 right now. Once the IT reaches about 115 or so I`ll sear both sides on high heat for a couple minutes each side. Tri tips can only be ruined by overcooking.

This is damn good. Sous vide for a few hours at 130, chilled, got my grill as hot as I could and seared about 3 minutes per side. |
