That remote functionality wouldn’t be worth anything if this grill didn’t perform. Thankfully, it does more than meet expectations. LG also makes other related products such as a vertical smoker and a Kamado grill, and they’ve introduced new features such as Wi-Fi-enabled controls. This complete, you can now set your grill to preheat, using the Temp control on the panel. Always preheat the grill to make sure you’re cooking your meat at the right temperature. From what I’ve seen so far of the App software used by Pit Boss & Louisiana Grills (SmokeIT) I do still think Traeger’s App is a much cleaner interface and more user-friendly, with video recipes etc.

Finally, seriously consider getting an insulated blanket for your pellet grill/smoker if you don’t already have one to help roast your turkey as evenly as possible.

Do you want to sear your food over flames that can burn as hot as 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit? The Louisiana Grills Founders Series Premier 800 Pellet Grill can do that. Don’t forget to play about with our database at the top of the article to review the latest options available from both Pit Boss and Louisiana Grills 🙂

The trade-off of losing the grilling capabilities of a horizontal pellet grill/smoker is with a vertical smoker you typically get a larger cooking area for a lower price point. That’s very important when you’re cooking a whole turkey which can take up much of the space within the cooking chamber. All of the Louisiana Grills models above feature the same 18lb hopper capacity, whereas the Pit Boss models feature a 20lb hopper on the Pro Series 850 up to a 32lb hopper on the Pro Series 1600.This grill uses wood pellets as fuel and has an exhaust system that makes the most of those pellets’ smoking capabilities.
