Holly Nelson • Cookshack Updates • April 24, 2015

One of our most asked questions is “Do you sale Scratch and Dent or Reconditioned grills?” Our answer is of course, however, we cannot guarantee we have them all the time.

PG500 vs PG1000 – Test as old as time

Holly Nelson • Cookshack Updates • March 24, 2015

We have been receiving a lot of questions lately about the differences in cooking between the PG500 and PG1000. Although there are not many differences in the units themselves, since the PG1000 has an insulated hood while the PG500 does not, the cooking is not identical. Our Design Engineer, Jake Rowland, ran a few tests for us to see exactly how the differences affect the cooking in each unit. The tests were ran on 4…

Food Grade Pellets-How are they different?

Holly Nelson • Cookshack Updates, Pellet Cooker Recipes • February 19, 2015

We always tell you to use 100% food-grade pellets in your pellet grills and smokers, but why? Food grade pellets will contain less fillers and will have less moisture content and ash than pellets used in wood burning stoves and furnaces. Pellets used for stoves and furnaces will also sometimes contain glue or something to bind the pellets together. Food grade pellets will use the lignin (natural complex polymer) in the wood instead. Glue will cause…
