Hey y'all.
I brought home a new KC Combo from Wally World today. We've put a lot into upgrading, renovating, and expanding our pool house and patio over the last 6 months or so, and decided to get a new grill to go with it.
My wife sort of had a non negotiable requirement for a griddle top of some kind (which I wanted too), and I wanted a grill. I was going to get the Char Broil gas grill/griddle combo unit, but I stumbled across this KC Combo. I looked at grills and read/watched reviews over the last week or so and decided a pellet grill would be right up my alley.
I constantly fought temps erratic temps with my old gas grill. The temperature was uneven and I had a hard time keeping temps low. I'd set the knobs all the way down and next thing I know it crept up to 500 anyway.
I like the idea of being able to set my temperature where I want it on the smoker side and maintain it. I've never done any smoking but I'm excited to experiment with some low and slow cooking, and I can't wait to try a reverse sear on some steaks.
Also pictured is the space we'll be using it in, and the old grill. The old grill was awesome and a very high quality unit, but it just wasn't what we wanted and I didn't enjoy grilling on it. I did like the rotisserie though! It's probably 20 years old and I got $350 for it locally.
I did read some negative reviews, but so far I am pleased. It went together well, I was able to connect it to the app with no issue, and ran my first heat cycle. The temp ran where I set it and it was awesome to monitor from on the house and shut it down remotely.
The gas grill side is probably a little underpowered when you look at the burner BTUs, but I think I can work with it.
