They suck. I gave mine away fo a neighbor for free if he would just come remove it from my back patio. Not a grill and not a smoker. It’s some where in between, and never had anything off it I really enjoyed. Well thirrr sounds like poor cooking skills ifn ya couldn't get it right with the easy bake oven 😃
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

We have one at the firehall and love it. Have a high dollar one at city hall. Smoker on one side and gas grill on the other. Cooks very well. Did a brisket Friday

Traeger grills thoughts and opinions? Do they live up to all the hype? I loved my big green egg, but sold it and bought a Traeger. The Traeger makes smoking meats easy with temp probes and the computer making sure the temp stays steady. All from your iphone!

Rec-teq is the way to go. They have a phone app and you can turn the grill on/off remotely. If it hasn't changed, you can turn the Traeger off with app but you can't turn it on.
More stainless steel parts in the Rec-teq too, you would have to get the Traeger Ironwood series to be comparable.
This!!! Love my recteq. I researched a lot before paying the extra for a recteq but no regrets here.
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

I have a RecTeq and love it. I had to call customer service once, they were very helpful. I thought the grill was messed up, but it was just a void in the pellet auger.
I don't give a crap what anyone else thinks about pellet grills, it's the best investment I've made in a long time. I have a BGE that hasn't been lit, once, since I bought the RT.
The food is plenty smoky enough. It's very simple to cook on. I don't have to tend it, which gives me time to do other things. If you want to sit up all night, tend a smoker and check the meat every hour, then you don't need a pellet smoker. I have better things to do. I just like to eat good food. I hardly use my komado joe since the pellet grill purchase. Smoked 2 family packs of chicken breast this week. Turned out great.

It's wrong to call these a grill. Slow cooker/steamer is more appropriate. Then gas grills should be disqualified also.

Makes sense but I am the exact opposite. Tending the smoker/grill and the cooking process is as enjoyable to me, if not moreso, than eating the food.

Picked up a pitboss used very cheap and it’s been solid on smoked butts for about 3 years now. Can grill a burger on the grate. I’ve seasoned cast iron skillets on it too keeping from smoking up the house. I like taste of the pecan pellets best.

Are you going to burn splits when you get off work to cook a few pieces of chicken? I'll push a button on my Broil King easy bake and have a cold beer!

To each his own I’ll mention this again Some of the biggest names in competition BBQ circuit use pellet grills when they’re kicking back. Duck camp is full of those guys and traegers. Actually just a few traegers now as they have a bunch of PK grills Kevin has a full on commercial kitchen and then off the side a grilling smoking area.
