BUUUUMMMMP.Looking to upgrade my rig, any Traeger fans here?
love my traeger!! chili talked me into switching from masterbilt electric with traditional wood chip feeder to pellet grill. so much better with predictable results
Thanks rocket, currently have the same Masterbuilt with the chip tray. Product of food better too?
Just a couple weeks ago I got a Pit Boss at Menards. It’s very new, so I’m just getting started with it and cannot speak to durability. It seems very well made. It’s heavy and the seams, etc. seem good. Packaging and assembly were well thought out and efficient. It’s very easy to use and the app is nice. I shopped around for a while and it seemed like a really good value. 850 square inches of cooking surface; enamel coated iron grates; 21 pound hopper: a shelf on the front and the side; temperature probe. It also has a feature that allows direct access to the flame for higher heat searing. On sale and with rebate, it was under $450. I think it is a good value. I know Traeger is considered the best by many, but a comparable Traeger is more than double the price. I know it’s too new to make any meaningful assessment, but so far I’m really happy with it.Made bacon on it last week - 4 hours low and slow smoke. It worked great.

pit boss makes good stuff. hopefully the stuff they procure for Menards is pit boss worthy. I am not a fan of Menards as they've stiffed me on their rebates a couple of times and seems there is no trail.but regardless, sounds like you got a nice product-good luckbtw, traeger has been watered down a little. they better be careful of trying to coast on the name. the one thing i've been struggling with somewhat is getting a little more smoke production or having the smoke hang out in the chamber longer for a little more of a robust flavor as needed. my model does not have the super smoke function I've tried cooking lower for a little bit longer as that produces more smoke, but my model does not allow for the draft damper to be augmented inside because of how my top shelf is attached in that regionlong story short-don't hang your head on the brand-you've got a good product. my sons bought me my traeger for a Christmas present because they know that they will be beneficiaries of the product that comes out-smart kids
I’ve heard a smoke tube can help getting more smoke on pellet smokers.https://a.co/d/4obt829

You can buy a down draft accessory for a green mountain. The device exhausts the smoke at the grates…drawing more smoke across the food. They are mage by Don Goedke. I think he makes them for other brands too.
