When I saw the Smoke Hollow pellet smoker at a BBQ event, I knew there was more to it. And after a few questions with the chef and trying out the grill, it was inevitable to do a Smoke Hollow pellet grill review. So keep reading to know what I found out.
While we don’t smoke meat for preservation as our ancestors did, I find the smoky flavor addictive. But, cooking on a traditional wood-fired smoker takes up our time, and you’ll need adjustments as you cook. Luckily advanced pellet grills serve the same purpose and give you the freedom to make temperature adjustments.
Smoke Hollow Pellet Grill Overview
The Smoke Hollow Pellet Grill is a decent grill with a sturdy steel barrel construction. On top is a layer of sheet metal and a powder coating to add to its appeal. It is built to last and offers resistance to cracks and dents. It has enough cooking space with 996 total square inches for cooking. You can definitely smoke your ribeye steaks and sear bell peppers on the side without a hassle.
Features
The Smoke Hollow Pellet Grill allows you to make an unmatched dish with consistency and flavor, thanks to a few valuable features.
Auger-Fed Pellet System
Maintaining the correct temperature has been an issue with pellet grills in general. The Smoke Hollow’s Auger-Fed pellet delivery system includes a box used to store pellets on the side. The box automatically adds pellets to the grill crate, depending on your temperature needs. It is an automatic system and easy to operate, even for newbies.
Mobility
For what you consider the best pellet grill, you want something that can move comfortably in your yard. The Smoke Hollow Pellet Grill line is compact and has a reliable system of wheels and casters. The two rotatable caster wheels perform perfectly, considering the whole grill weighs about 120 pounds.
Thermostat
The LED thermostat is one of the most tech-savvy features of this pellet grill. It allows monitoring and control of temperature without opening the lid. In addition, the LED has simple display options, making it easier to understand.
Indirect Cooking
(Thumbs up to whoever invented this idea of indirect cooking) It basically means you can cook the steak without placing it on direct flames. The advantage is you get evenly cooked meat with the same rich smoky flavor. It also reduces the chances of charring. Smoke Hollow Pellet Grill infuses smoke from wood pellets into the meat.
Shelves
Barbecue meals are intensive and need a few cutlery in place. So it is always essential to have some compartments to keep them at bay. The Smoke Hollow Grill has a few sides and bottom shelves to keep essential tools like barbecue sauce, salt, knives, etc. you don’t need to add an extra table for all this; the pellet grill does the job perfectly.
