I think I have died and gone to heaven! I used my Memphis Pro this weekend for the first time. I made two pizzas and a bunch of chicken that were better than I've cooked before. The pizza was identical to anything produced in a brick oven and the chicken was the most tender with the right hint of smoked flavor. What am I going to do with my gas grill? I do not know how I lived without my Memphis!

Search for pellet grill finds a Memphis - "Just wanted to send my most sincere thanks to the amazing contributing members of this site. I joined back in June/July timeframe when I began my search for a pellet grill. After countless hours of research and reading Bentley's performance testing I chose the Memphis Advantage grill. I have been cooking on it daily in hopes that when our next competition came we would be better prepared. Myself and fellow team members Mark and Jason decided to attend the Harvard Fall Festival BBQ championships Sept 17-18 in Harvard, Ma. We competed in all 5 categories. There were 58 teams and our pulled pork won 1st place for the peoples choice. We also got called for chicken placing 3rd overall. Part of our chicken flavor profile was a rub from Denny Mikes so a special thanks to Denny for his generosity is sending the Beantown Smokers a sample box. And we rounded it out with a strong 7th in Kcbs pulled pork. I will post some pictures when they are sent to me later today. The Memphis grill took a lot of people by surprise all hail the Pelletheads!"
Best,
Ctown and the Beantown Smokers

I've owned my Memphis Advantage for one year now. During that year, I've cooked just about everything on it. All kinds of meats and most of the popular combos and appetizers like ABT's, Fatties, and Moinks, among other stuff. Here are my thoughts on the basics:
- Reliability - 100%. I've never had a day that I couldn't use it.
- Durability - A+. Nothing has broken and required a fix. A minor lid/hood alignment problem developed that was easy to correct. No parts or labor, just a few minutes of my time.
- Quality - A+. It is built like a tank. The sheet metal is heavy as are the grids and everything else about it. I don't see anything that looks like slipshod quality or poor workmanship. Nothing is wearing down, breaking, or rusting.
- Ease of Use - A+. Even a caveman could use it. There's nothing much to learn. The buttons and read-out on the controller are clearly marked and logical.

I have owned over 10 grills both gas and charcoal, but my Memphis Pro is the most versatile and of the highest quality of any of them. Everything I have put on the Memphis Pro comes out great the first time.

Received my grill, "Wow!" I had high expectations but the product surpassed them. It's obvious this grill was make with pride. A sincere thank you to all Hearthland employees for sending me such a wonderful grill. I am confident I will get many years of outstanding service from it.

Thank you for your assistance in registering our new Memphis Grill. We are thrilled with its quality and performance. You should also advertise its quietness, efficiency and quickness to get to a high heat. It went up to 650F in minutes and did the best steaks we’ve had anywhere. Well worth the money.

Hey Bob,
I really love my new Memphis grill! We've been grilling out 3-4 days a week since we bought it and I have to say I don't think I've ever tasted a steak any better than what I’m cooking on this grill! It's the best grill I've ever owned or used.
I've been researching pellet grills over the last couple of years because they have the best flavors, and I'm now very glad I waited to purchase one. I'm sure I wouldn't be as happy with a Mak, Traeger, Louisiana, a Green Mountain grill –or even a Green Egg.
I really love the fact that I can smoke at lower temp's, as well as fire it and sear a juicy steak the way it should be done. The temperature control makes the grill so easy to run!
I want to make sure to thank you and Heartland Products for bringing this grill to market. I really hope you kick some serious “pork-butt” as you should with this product line!
Thanks, Mark S., Minneapolis, MN
P.S. Attached is my 1st meal that I cooked the 1st night the grill was delivered. It was so easy to cook a steak to absolute perfection! (in my humble opinion anyway. Now my only problem is not gaining an extra 20lbs this summer :)

"...By the way, we have chicken breasts most likely more often than most folks, and we cook them all on the Memphis Pro. Every last one we have had has been unbelievably moist, tender and exactly the way you would want them.
Honestly, I don't think we've ever had better in any restaurant, and normally, not nearly as good. Betty and I were talking about this after dinner last night remarking that this is the first time with a BBQ that we could invite somebody over and know that what we cooked would not just be passable, but fantastic! I don't think we could make the same comment for either of our convection ovens in our kitchen!"

Wood fire grills are the tool of choice for serious BBQ enthusiasts. The Memphis Pro brings the convenience of traditional gas grill to the incredible flavor available using wood fired cooking. With the touch of a button, my guests think I'm an outdoor gourmet. Let's keep the truth a secret.
The Memphis Pro is incredible!

I contacted Bob B., General Manager at Hearthland, to see about a Chicago area dealer. Even thought the Memphis Pro owners that I know love their grills, I wanted to touch and feel one for myself. I expected to be impressed by the grill, but in person it exceeded my expectations! This thing is built like a tank! Just the size of the rods used to make the grates is impressive.

The smoker was delivered yesterday. I ran to the market and bought 8 - 1 3/4" prime rib steaks, fresh corn, and potatoes. You really are going to help a lot of human beings have a better life with the Memphis Smoker! I do not exaggerate when I say it probably was the best steak in my life. Unbelievably juicy along with unbelievably good taste. Like remembering the flavor of a good bottle of wine the next day, I am remembering the taste of that steak right now. Absolutely evenly cooked, pink, throughout. I am now a believer.
Thanks again,
Mike

I am an avid cook who loves the fresh grilled flavor. I recently grilled two chickens on the Memphis Wood Fire Grill –and they never turned out better!
I preheated the grill to 500 degrees, prepared one chicken with a spicy rub and the other brushed with olive oil seasoned with salt and pepper. I seared the chickens for ten minutes on each side (gotta love that golden brown skin!) and then lowered the temperature to 350 degrees. I then cooked them for 45-50 minutes, removed them from the heat, and let them rest for fifteen minutes before carving.
They turned out incredible! Crisp skin on the outside, juicy tender meat on the inside! Grilled With Ease to Perfection. Memphis Grills is the best grill I’ve seen!
