You could always just nicely ask your wife's boyfriend to start it for you.***
Charcoal guy here so I don't know much about the pellet joints, but that seems like a safety issue? I'm almost surprised remote start was ever a feature.

Hope they don't remove the purse holder too.
Stupid people are why we can’t have nice things. Don’t have one but that sounds like a great option to have.
I'm pretty laissez-faire when it comes to safety, but if you're gonna have problem flameups on any kind of grill/smoker, it's often in the first few minutes due to leftover grease or whatever. All joking aside, why wouldn't you want to be at your grill/smoker at start-up? I could certainly be missing something, I don't know a 17ing thing about pellet smokers.
Nope. I do it, too. Weber parrafin cubes are about as remote start as I get.
Some dubmass probably forgot he left his oven gloves, apron, and man-bunn scrunchies in the pellet grill
It is unless you forget that the cover is still on. Speaking from experience.
I have successfully used it as well. I have used it a couple of times to get up to a higher temp when I was on my way home and wanted to get a tenderloin on there because I was hangry.
So y’all are saying that easy bake ovens aren’t really easy if you’re stupid?
I’m going to take a guess and say the ones making fun of the pellet guys don’t even own grills. I’ll wait for your defense but you’re probably still full of shít.
Well, let’s see. I’ve got a big ole offset on a trailer that I built years ago that I rarely use anymore. I have two Big Green Eggs, a Kamado Joe, a Kettle Joe, a Vision Kamado, and an Akorn Jr. My wife says that I have a problem, she‘s right, I don’t have enough grills!
I have a Big Green Egg, but I’m in the live and let live category. If a pellet grill works for you, great, go for it.
I have a charcoal grill/smoker, a gas grill, a flat top, and an electric smoker. I use them all for different things at different times depending on what I’m cooking and how much time I have.
Use whatever you like if you fix great tasting food then who gives a flying 17 how you did it.
Sold my offset. Made great food. Just tired of babysitting it. Sat my gas grill on the curb. Replaced those with a pellet smoker, pellet grill, flattop, and kept my smokey mountain and charcoal grill. Keep eyeballing a gravity fed grill.
Those gravity fed grills don’t last very long. I know a couple of people who had some issues with them after a little use.
I've got a 36" blackstone, a pitboss, and a regular charcoal grill from Lowes. Love all 3 of them and they all have their uses. Smoked my first turkey on the pitboss this past Thanksgiving and I think that may be my new job every year based on the reception it got, and I love doing ribs and Boston butts on it. I think a blackstone was invented to do breakfast on Sunday morning before church. That and fried rice.
I also smoke a turkey on the offset smoker every Thanksgiving and it's just incredibly good. Leftovers are better than oven or turkey-fryer also.
It's a little more effort, but a great excuse to start drinking earlier in the day!
That’s the main reason I haven’t pulled the trigger. Looked at better quality builds. Just not sure I want to spend that much for a backyard cooker.
I do pork on my stick burner and poultry on the pellet. Brisket is actually better on the pellet than I thought it would be.
I've heard some of Masterbilt gravity fed grills have had issues with catching on fire.
I have a green egg mother 17er. I hardly ever use it because it's a pain in the *** to get going, but at least I'm not a girly man using their rec tec or electric smoker all the time because they're easy.
I am a Weber kettle guy, with a Smoke n Sear for using it as a smoker. I wish it was maybe 15% bigger, briskets don't always fit too well.
Anybody fooled with the Oklahoma Joe Highland offset smoker? I've had my eye on one for a minute, saw the Home depots has them on sale.

I never used it, but there are lots of dumbasses that have forgotten to take the cover off their grills and hit start.
The Oklahoma Joes are ok but the metal is pretty thin and they tend to “leak” smoke out. If you get one after a couple of uses you can figure out where the sealing issues are and seal them up pretty easily. You can’t beat them for the price.
If you're not raising, slaughtering, and butchering pork/beef yourself, and using wood from trees planted by your granddaddy that you personally cut down and seasoned, on a smoker setup you forged in your blacksmith shop - you're a pusssy.
Absolutely. I use mine mostly for quick stuff. Burgers, hot dogs, etc. The house I bought came with a little outdoor kitchen area with a built in gas grill so I use it pretty regularly for stuff like that.
I have a Traeger and a Blackstone. I find the ease of use on the Traeger gets me outside cooking far more often than I have in the past on a stick burner or a charcoal grill.
I want to get a natural gas grill, I have it plumbed already. It does burn my *** that nat gas grills are ~20% or more higher for the same moel.
I believe you can buy an LP and convert it. You have to change out the orifices in the lines.
Jeez. Me crapping on pellet grills is mostly a joke. But since you want me to post a defense:
We bought my Dad a PitBoss couple of years ago. He liked it. He also has a Weber Kettle and my old kamado smoker. The pellet smoker, although convenient and made pretty decent food, burned up an auger motor within a year and he had to get a motherboard this past winter. For a 3 year old grill. That needs electricity.
While it was down he went back to kamado.
I’ll stop posting facts now, and go back to making juvenile jokes instead.
