How do you like the Firecraft and why did you choose it?

Apologies for taking 5+ years to respond. I was just experimenting around with KZitem back then while making videos with/for our son. I chose the FireCraft Q450 as a result of my brother having a combination landscape supply and BBQ grill company in Bakersfield, CA (The Bulk Yard). He came across the Q450 and decided to order in a pallet or two of the original units for his grill store. I got my unit at a discount to prototype and test for my brother. We both have and like using our Q450s at home. They have both pros and cons. Obviously now we know they went out of business. I have both a GMG Daniel Boone and the Q450. My Q450 is my go-to pellet grill for most cooks. I pre-smoke steaks and follow with a sear on a Saffire Kamado. I start tri tips at ~200 (~30 mins) and finish them at ~350. I like how the Q450 only has a single piece drip tray and heat deflector. This tends to give a litter sear when cooking at roast temps. Though this does require turning e.g. tri tips, if cooking at roast temps versus smoke temps. I plan to smoke a TJs brined turkey this year on my Q450. Will have to follow with a KZitem post to show how it goes. One notable con with the Q450 is its drip tray and drain arrangement. I wrap the drip tray with foil but have to be care to only overlap and fold ~1/2 inch under on the right lower side. Otherwise the FireCraft tends to get drippings down inside on the bottom of the grill. This in turn leaks drippings on my patio which then need to be cleaned up. Not a huge deal. Grilling can get messy regardless. Overall I like both my GMG DB and my Q450. Neither one is a super high-end grill. Though, they have lasted many, many cooks. I am just hoping I can continue to source parts and keep my Q450 going. Only its controller went out and needed replacing. See my new video post..

Do you recommend the Q450?

Apologies. Please see my response above. Overall, yes I like and would [have] recommended the Q450 had they not gone out of business. Though, I have liked my GMG DB just as much. That said, I tend to reserve my GMG DB for smoked salmon since it smokes as low as 150F. It makes awesome smoked salmon! I may post a video of this recipe..

Apologies for the delay. Still new at this and not really expecting many views or questions. I use my igrill because I know it to be more accurate than the included meat probe on my GMG DB. So I'm in the habbit of using the igrill and just have not gotten around to using and testing the included meat probe on my FC yet. That said, I am impressed by the FC and will be using it again this weekend. Will actually be using both my pellet grills at the same time again for two different cook set ups..
