Any of you guys in the Traeger cult yet? I used an old school Chargriller Acorn (egg style kamado grill) for like 7-8 years. I am thinking of restoring it as the parts have gone to hell. I've already been through three grates on it. Took me like 6 months to really learn and dial but then I could run 9+hour low and slow smokes.
With our deck/yard project the wife and I had been budgeting for a new "outdoor" kitchen setup but once I dug in I realized they were just STUPID expensive. so we kept going back and forth between smokers, cheap propane BBQ's, etc and then finally stumbled on an Traeger while it was on sale with a bunch of freebies thrown in (cover, multiple large bags of pellets, etc).
I assembled it last Friday, and of the 7 nights it's been operational, we've cooked on it 6.
Chicken breast, chicken tenders, halibut, salmon, steak, steak, burgers, and a random cod fillet I had thawed out.
I have a lot to learn about this thing, and I can't get it hot enough for a good sear but holy cow the flavor on everything has been phenomenal!
