If you're looming at a Traiger, checkout Green Mountain Grills. I was gonna buy a Traiger myself, but after researching it, I came to the conclusion That Green Mountain Grills are a step above.

I'm going to replace my Treager in a year or two.

So far I've had a few issues.

1) hot rod burned out - had to replace under warranty
2) paint peeled off the barrel and smoke stack - replaced under warranty

3) when smoking I'm getting ash accumulation around the hot rod, enough so that the fire goes out and it pumps pellets into the fire pit and they don't make contact with the hot rod and pretty soon it's filled up and spilling unburned pellets into the bottom of the bbq

then I gotta take out the rack of meat, drip pan and fire deflection plate and vacuum up all the pellets and ash and start it back up = sucks!

Thanks for all the reviews, I haven't picked one up mostly because I been waiting for a better deal, 1000 dollars is a bit more than we want to spend, I heard the Texas goes on sale around the holidays but haven't seen a reasonable  price yet, the green  mountain smoker sounds like a better product

This.

I know a good bit of BBQers that are making the switch this summer to the GMGs.

I bought my traeger used about 3 years ago and love it.  I had to replace the heating rod in that time.  I know a lot of people that have them, and don't know anyone who doesn't like it.  I was kind of shocked to see the posts on here. Old Mill has awesome customer service when it comes to the traeger.

BBQ  :drool:

Never had a trag but I've eaten from them. Not Bad! Serves it's purpose. My friends that have them love them. Set it an forget it an eat  :drool:
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

I have no complaints from my Traeger, except my pants are shrinking.
