I've had a Memphis pellet grill for a number of years. Always liked it. For our second home decided to go with a less expensive cooker and RecTeq looked like the most grill for the money and seems well loved by owners. I'm assembling it now and I see the auger exit is actually part of the fire pot. This has me very concerned. Seems like an auger fire, then hopper fire, just waiting to happen. The Memphis auger dumps onto a ramp that leads to the fire pot. No chance of an auger fire there. Am I worried about something that just doesn't happen? Any best practices to keep this from happening if it is a concern? It's going to be close to the house under a covered patio thus the fire concern.
Question 2. I've never been a big fan of grease buckets. At our other house my first pellet grill before the Memphis was a GMG. With gusty winds I was always getting grease spattering on the patio. Has anyone come up with a more elegant or wind proof solution to prevent this with this grill?
Looking forward to burn in and ribs tomorrow!
