It was pretty tricky when it was 45 degrees out and required closer monitoring as it would occasionally “lose fire”. I know you can buy a special insulating blanket that supposedly stops this but I passed on it. I probably will get one next fall.

No experience with high humidity.... yet.

Thats probably what i was remembering then. I know it was something with the weather. Not necessarily humidity.

I’ve also heard people report that their pellet feeders clog in high humidity. Dunno how real of a concern it is, or if it varies by brand of pellet or model of grill.

Probably depends how pellets are stored....they are like little Duraflame or Presto logs...they absorb humidity and fall apart if not kept dry.

I’ve got a Green Mountain Pellet grill, super easy to use, the wifi control is makes things really simple. Getting pellets is easy via Amazon, if we hadn’t been in lockdown, there is a dealer close to me that sells pellets

My wife got me a small Weber rocky mountain smoker about 5 years ago. Still in good shape, no need to replace anytime soon.

I've recently started to grill on it too. Getting the fire right for grilling takes a bit of sn effort and cooking squatting down is funny but it works.

For the price, and as an experiment it has been good.
