So the other day I was browsing the Walmart website looking at the new models which have been added to the Pit Boss Platinum Series. I then come across a range of pellet grills branded as Expert Grill. I wasn’t previously aware of Expert Grill (a Walmart brand) as they have only recently released this range of pellet grills/smokers. Well, I do think other budget pellet grill/smoker brands do have some tough competition on their hands.
The brand looks to shake up the market offering full-featured cooking equipment at affordable prices, and the Victory 4-burner gas griddle is as advertised. Our favorite budget model, Cuisinart’s Portable Charcoal Grill, for example, costs less than $25. Solid mid-range alternatives can be had for a few hundred dollars.

On the other hand, if you only use the griddle sparingly, perhaps a cheaper option is in order. Gas griddle surface areas can be made from a variety of materials. Stainless steel or chrome griddles are excellent picks, as Grills Portable Grills these are very resistant to rust damage. The griddle surface is made out of 4.7mm thick cast iron, which holds heat well and distributes heat evenly. You can also upgrade to a ceramic griddle top for better performance.
That debate will rage on until our sun burns out, so we won’t attempt to settle it here. But, in general—and, don’t shoot the messenger—many agree that cooking with charcoal tastes better, but cooking with gas is more Grills Portable Grills convenient (albeit far more expensive). We don’t want to oversimply too much, but that’s basically what your choice comes down to. We’ll assume you prioritize tasty food, in which case you’ll want a charcoal grill.
