I bought the rambler to use when I wanted to make smaller meals because too many pellets are used to heat up my big pellet grill. I’ll admit, I’m not experienced in cooking with charcoal. So I was a little intimidated when it was ready to cook, but I quickly found how great this grill was built to cook! I was able to control the temp almost as easy as with my pellet grill. The burgers I made for the first cook were amazing! Now today I’m going to try a salmon and see how well I can cook that!
