Hello,
I was wondering if anyone here owns a Traeger smoker/grill and what you think of it. Even if you don't own one
perhaps you know someone who does and whether or not they are happy with it.
I like the idea behind the grill ... i.e. it has a pellet chamber that it slow-trickles into the fire to automagically
control the temperature. to keep the user's work to a minimum. I also like the idea of mix/match on the pellets
in any ratio I want.
My concerns are
1. Long-term costs of the pellets (it seems they run about $0.95 per pound but then if that pound gives you efficient burning, it easily pays for itself)
2. Whether or not I can mulch my own wood and substitute that for the pellets
3. Flavor quality being limited by quality of the pellets
4. 2nd or 3rd source for the pellets (which is related to item 2)
All feedback is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks!
