traeger, green mountain, or Louisiana?

[haugenna]

I went through all that.  All of them went into the 300's before I shut them off.  Something is wrong.

[Goldeneye]

I agree then, contact Traeger. 

[haugenna]

Thanks for the tip though.

Do you have any first hand experience with these rust issues?

[Kc_Kracker]

yes with traeger aND GRN MTN

yes with traeger aND GRN MTN

Interesting......For the OP, it seems you decided on the traeger so I suppose it's a moot point but with what you listed I'd go with GMG.   If you want to spend more, go with a Yoder or a MAK.

Did you end up with the traeger?

Going to buy next month. As much as my researching leads me to wanting a gmg,  I can't beat the opportunity to buy the $1000 traeger for $613. I figure with the money saved I can buy add ons

Can you post up a link? I copied and pasted "weeziana" in Google and came up with Nada?

Might want to save that money and use it later to buy replacement parts versus add ons.  Look at the long term costs versus the upfront costs.

I am still lost, what does that mean?  Sounded like he is against GM and Traeger, but what brand is he recommending?
Nevermind I found it.  The Ranch and Home place carries them..:
http://www.ranch-home.com/bbq/grills/smokers
They also have that pitboss "pellet grill"  not sure why some pellet units are in their own page and the rest are listed as smokers though?

I have been using a propane smoker for just over a year, love smoking up some BBQ.  But it has almost no adjustability in terms of cook temp and having to feed it little bits of wood that fit in the tray all the time is getting old fast.  Going to a pellet smoker is looking really really good.  I was originally thinking Treager, or after reading this was thinking green mountain until these last few posts about lower quality now have me confused.

So those that have these pellet rigs, you use them for everything (burgers, dogs, chicken, smoking: ribs, pork shoulder)?  just vary the temp?  I could sell my stand up smoker and grill if that is the case, and it would certainly declutter the back porch!

Don't forget Yoder smokers they are pellet BBq and high quality.Check out amazing ribs great site for everything BBQ.

My green mountain goes from 150-500 so yes, low and slow or use it as a grill for burgers and dogs.
