The Pro 575 has Traeger’s new D2 drive train that provides very precise temperature control but does not produce much smoke.

The Traeger hopper only holds 18 pounds but pellets are usually sold in 20 pound bags! Why don’t they make a hopper that takes a full bag of pellets? The Grilla hopper holds 20 pounds.Īs far as smoke flavor is concerned the Silverbac is going to be better than Traeger. The Silverbac has insulated double wall construction while the Pro 575 is single walled.Ī detail that always bugged the beck out of me about the Traeger is the pellet hopper.The Traeger has a three year warranty compared to four years for the Grilla.The Traeger has porcelain enameled grates compared to the 1/4 inch stainless steel grates on the Grilla.Without question, the Silverbac is a nicer product.

The Pro Series 575 has an MSRP of $799 and offers approximately 20% less cooking capacity. I think the best Traeger grill to use for a head to head comparison against the Silverbac is the Traeger Pro Series 575. It gets even more confusing when Traeger and Camp Chef both have over a dozen different models to choose from! Grilla Grills vs Traeger How do you make the decision between spending $400 on a Pit Boss or $900 on a Rec Tec or something in the middle when they all function in the same basic manner? One of the tough things about buying a pellet grill it that they all kind of look the same. The addition of the heavy duty carts ups the MSRP on the AT to $999. The Silverbac All Terrain is the same grill as the Alpha but has been mounted on a heavy duty cart that is readily transportable. The Pro and Alpha grills have an MSRP of $749 and $799, respectively. Here is the video from Grilla Grills that explains the Alpha Smoke dual mode controller in more detail. The Silverbac Alpha operates using an “Alpha Smoke” controller that can be either a PID or a Standard controller.The Silverbac Pro operates using a Standard controller.Many people will tell you that if you are smoking with a PID then you might as well be using an oven. While a PID controller is more precise, the cost of that precision is a cleaner burning fire that produces less smoke flavor than you get with a standard controller. You can set a standard controller that is not a PID to 225 and the temperature will usually stay in the 215-235 range for the whole cook. You can set a PID controller to 225F and the grill is almost guaranteed to stay in the 220-230F range for the entire cook. Many people want a PID controller as it allows them to maintain very precise temperatures. There is a healthy debate in the pellet grill world about which type of controller is the best. The differences between the three models comes down to the control system and cart design. What Is The Difference Between The Pro, Alpha and All Terrain Models? Temperature Range: 180-500F, five degree increments.Hopper: 20 pound capacity with Easy Dump System.Grate Material: 1/4 inch thick stainless steel rods.Upper Cooking Grate: 7 inches × 26.5 inches = 185 square inches.Main Cooking Grate: 26 inches × 19.5 inches = 507 square inches.Here is a look at the “nuts and bolts” features on these grills. The more efficient use of pellets is something that seems small but will end up paying big dividends over the thousands of cooks you will perform with the grill. You can easily reach target temperatures in cold weather and save money on pellets. This built in insulation allows the grill to retain heat and use pellets more efficiently. The grill also features a double walled body that provides an insulating air gap. There is a ton of stainless steel on the grill as it has a 12 gauge stainless steel lid along with a stainless firepot, heat deflector and drip tray. The grates are usually the first thing to break on regular grills but the quarter inch stainless grates on this grill should last at least ten years. My favorite example of “More Grill, Less Money” is the 1/4 inch thick stainless steel rods that are used for the cooking grate. One of the core concepts at Grilla Grills is “ More Grill, Less Money.” That is the kind of stuff that I can get behind.
I just like the brand and am impressed with their products. Let me get this part out of the way…There are NO affiliate links in this article and I will not make a penny if you buy a Grilla Grills product. Since they sell direct to the public and not through distributors they can provide a high quality product at a reasonable price. Grilla Grills was founded in Holland, Michigan and sells at “Jungle Direct” pricing to the public. Let’s take a look at what makes the Silverbac such a nice grill, what are the differences between the models and how it stacks up against competing brands. The Silverbac is an incredible grill and comes in three models: Pro, Alpha and All Terrain. The flagship of the Grilla Grills product line is their Silverbac pellet grill.
