Saw the Traegar while looking. I heard it was easy. That takes the fun out of Smoking My main smoker is propane fueled but uses wood chips. Easy to use on long cooks. Fill it up and check on it 6-10 hrs later... I like the versatility of vertical smokers https://www.amazon.com/Dyna-Glo-DGW1235BDP-D-Wide-Body-Smoker/dp/B010759G2A/ref=asc_df_B010759G2A/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167141575819&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12126406457711578346&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1013665&hvtargid=pla-274174018203&psc=1&th=1 This is the one I bought and it’s been good 5-6 years so far. Just had to replace the door lock hinge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a pellet smoker and will never go back to conventional. Didnt buy the cheapest, but Ive had smoked meats off of expensive ones, and cheap ones. I cant tell the difference in taste. When you buy an expensive one, you're basically paying for quality materials (like anything else, there are major differences in material used) and build. I did alot of video watching on YouTube before I bought. Plus I know someone that has a Memphis. Lots of good videos on pellet smokers. From what Ive seen and read about Traegers, they are overpriced and have had a lot of issues. I love the "set it and forget it" feature. More time to sit around telling war stories and drinking quality IPA's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an offset charcoal/wood drum smoker forever. But I got a WSM as a gift about a year ago. I held out for a long time and was skeptical. But now I’m a huge proponent of the WSM, it’s awesome. It’s a Weber, I put it right there with a Remington 870 for simplicity and reliability! My buddy just got a WSM said he’s putting his cover on his pellet smoker. He had a Traeger but said he’s going back to charcoal and wood. I acquired my WSM from my FIL who got a Traeger. He doesn’t like it, but won’t take back his WSM. I’m not a pellet guy, but that’s not to say there is anything wrong with them. I just like the idea of managing a pit/fire. Some beef jerky I just took off! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorCalRuss Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 14 lb whole beef ribeye smoked few days ago was amazing seasoned with Traeger's prime rib rub, pepper and kosher salt... Some ribs from today, one with Kosmos Q Killer bee rub ( my favorite for ribs right now ) , the other with Bad Byron’s butt rub and third with a rub from Hawaii I picked up on vacation called Da kind Smokey flavor. They were finished with homemade “jams” Blackberry and Carolina reaper , next was Apricot with Habaneros and third was a cherry with Ghost peppers and jalapeños... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI...That Golden Pilsner is not what they do best (and it's probably what they do least)... Walk into any bar around Philly and say "gimme a Lager", no bartender would ever ask you what kind of Lager... Apparently....there is only one? 🤣 Have you have ever walked into a bar and seen a couple hundred women all drinking 'Dark' beer? 😲 It's kind of shocking 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
