A wood pellet is a small, 1 inch long, 1/4 inch diameter piece of hardwood. Because of their small size, wood pellets burn cleanly and quickly to a fine ash. This gives you the most out of the wood. Wood pellets burn at about 8,500 BTUs per pound. Wood pellets come in a wide variety of “flavors” ranging from hickory and oak to cherry, apple or mesquite. The pellets in a normal pellet grill are fed from a storage hopper to a burning box at a controlled rate. This rate is adjustable based on whether you want a high temperature for grilling or a low temperature for smoking.

Why is a pellet grill better than gas or charcoal?

Taste: Everything that you prepare on an AMERICAN GRILL tastes better than what is cooked on gas or charcoal. Guaranteed to increase your outdoor dining pleasure. A wood fire is simply a more natural and tastier way to cook food.

Safety: A Pellet Grill is safer than gas or charcoal. No explosions from gas leaks, no hot coals, uses safe non-toxic wood pellets.

Recognition: When you cook for your family and friends on a Pellet Grill the compliments you get will be unmatched. Your favorite phrase will become; "We've done it again".

Convenience: You don't need to babysit a Pellet Grill. Put your food on and spend time doing things you enjoy. Our grill cooks unattended while you are in the house or doing more enjoyable things.

Healthier: Adds no cholesterol, fat, or calories. This indirect cooking method produces less benzo (a) pyrene than gas or charcoal grills. A much healthier way to eat. And the flavor is so incredible you can forget about those calorie laden mops and sauces.

Smoker: Absolutely the best smoker on the market today. No other pellet grill can match the temperature range of your OUTDOOR GOURMET GRILL. You can smoke cheese (90 degrees), or a brisket (220 degrees) right in your own backyard. Hot wood fire vapors penetrate the meat for an incredible flavor.

No Flare-ups: No open flame, almost impossible to burn your food. Barbecue isn't just for men anymore with the ease of operating a Pellet Grill.

Environmentally Sound: Wood pellets are a clean burning renewable resource. 100% natural.

Versatility: A Pellet Grill is three appliances in one. It grills, it bakes, and it smokes, all with the flip of a switch.

Economy: Costs less to operate than most charcoal grills and any other pellet grill on the market. One 20 lb. bag of wood pellets will cook an average of 20 times.
