Found one on craigslist about 25 miles from home for $150.
I do not know anything/have any experience with this unit.
Anybody chime in with a little help? Please!

What to look for,etc.... I was told guy wants to upgrade to a larger unit and it works fine...matter of fact he has a couple of butts on it right now for the Ravens game.

Go over and watch him finish the butts off and take a taste. If he cooks a lousy butt offer a lower price.

Got it! Likeit! Cooked a pork loin and "Dot's potatoes" with given mesq. and I think we need to try apple and hickory, Etc....
This was my first time smoking w/mesq.- Wow great flavor, but very pungent on the pit boss I'm use to fruit wood from the farm trimming's and oak.
Good deal on the Traeger ! New techniq. to be practiced and mastered.
No such thing as the best recipe - It can always be better!
