Victory Pellet Grill Review _ BBQGuys Expert Overviews

Hey guys, today we're performing our expert overview on the Victory pellet grill. Let's get to it.

The Victory pellet grill is put together well for an entry-level model. The body and cart are measured in as 16 gauge powder-coated steel, which is pretty common in this class. Their cooking grids are made of porcelainized solid seven millimeter thick steel rods, which is pretty nice. And the heat diffuser plate, as well as the fire pot flame diffuser, are both made of heavy-duty 12 gauge steel.

Victory's flame diffuser fire pot cover is one of the sturdiest I've seen in the class for sure, considering that this is by far the grill's component that will take the most abuse. Last, but absolutely not least, Victory's pellet grill boasts the most reliable and nearly unstoppable auger system in the pellet grill market.

Now let's look at performance. If smoky flavor is the number one reason you've been considering pellet grills, then you may have just found your match. As you can see during our testing, we did whole chickens and smoked three racks of ribs, tons of vegetables and sausage. The smoke output on this thing is initially you may think you've done something wrong. That's how much smoke this grill produces at times.

So, I mean, they really nailed it on the smoky quality and the performance of the smoking. Check so the grill produces great smoky flavors. But how evenly does it grill while doing so? Well, our thermocouple test showed that while testing the grill set in smoke mode or 180 degrees Fahrenheit. At 30 minutes, the grill's average temperature on the cooking grids was 174 degrees Fahrenheit. Only six degrees off of the actual set temperature. Pretty impressive.

During the same low temperature tests, the thermocouple with the temperature the furthest from the grill's average temperature was only 19 degrees lower than the grill's Average temperature. That is great for entry-level pellet grill. When we moved up to the high temperature test, or the 500 degrees Fahrenheit test, Victory had a 15-minute preheat temperature of 469 degrees Fahrenheit. I'll take it.

Which again is great and has you grilling even at high temperatures in about 15 minutes. 20 minutes into the high heat test, the grill's average temperature rose to 490 degrees Fahrenheit, which is just 10 degrees shy of the 500 degrees set temperature. That's fantastic. The grill's evenness was checked again at this time and showed that the thermocouple whose temperature the furthest from the grill's average temperature was only 31 degrees off. This is good for a pellet grill, or even probably as good, if not better than most home ovens.

When testing for capacity, as it relates to performance, we didn't have to try too hard since Victory's pellet grill has a best-in-class or largest in-class grilling area. Weighing in with 936 total square inches of grilling real estate. When performing our real-world test, this grill performed as well as the thermocouple said it would. With its nearly full coverage heat diffuser plate that also catches rendered fat and drippings and directs them away from the fire pot. There are few to none of the flare-ups that can happen to people or spotty cooking grill.

Overall for an entry-level pellet grill, excellent performance. Now let's check out the grill's features. First up, the Victory pellet grill is put together well for an entry-level model.

First up, the fold-down front shelf gives you one-handed access to extra workspace when you need it and easily folds out of the way when you don't.

There is a bottom storage shelf for convenient pellet storage. And for easy mobility, it comes with two heavy-duty locking swivel casters, and two large all-terrain polyurethane wheels. If you've been considering adding a pellet grill to your collection of grilling gear, then you should definitely consider the Victory pellet grill.

pellet hopper.This bad boy holds up to 29pounds of pellets at a time.This is for you low and slowguys and overnight cook guys.That's right.On the rear of the hopper,there is also a trap doorlever that allows youto change the flavor ofyour pellets on the fly.You can dump the hopper'scontents in about 10 seconds flat.Looking at the controls,Victory comes with a pre-programmeddigital PID controllerthat allows you to easilyset the grill's temperaturefrom smoke mode, or180 degrees Fahrenheit,all the way up to high,or 500 degrees Fahrenheit.And the smoke mode isn'tjust a cool sounding name,it actually maintainsthe fire at 180 degrees,but it also brings thespeed of the fan downso that allows the pellets tosmolder and smoke morethan they normally would.The controller also comes with two portsfor plugging in the includedinternal temperature probe.This makes it easy for you to keep asteady eye on your food'sinternal temperaturewithout having to raise the lid,which would let out andwaste tons of heat and smoke.Moving on to the draftingcomponents of the grill,Victory's pellet grill comes with anadjustable chimney cap thatcan be screwed up or down.It looks pretty simple,
