    Traeger Conversion unit?

    Todd, got the information from Dennis, now to do some measuring and see if their unit will fit where I need it to go for traveling. If it's a go I'll keep you posted on the build. Joe

    Traeger Conversion unit?

    I'd be interested in whether or not something like that is available and where.  Need a small unit to take with me when I travel and nobody makes one.

    Traeger Jr problems, I think

    V and C,  I have to agree on the sawdust.  I had that problem with the treager I owned and have also had it with the Yoder I currently enjoy using.  My solution has been to A. clean the firebox every use and B. screen the sawdust out of the pellets before I load them in the hopper.  Also if your...

    I had a lot of problems with Treager and found their both their Quality and customer service to be lacking. Joe

    NO PELLET SMOKER YET….

    While I have a Yoder and am very happy with it, my Son in Law has one of the Green Mountains and says it does a GREAT job.  Hard for me to judge as he's on one coast and I'm on the other. Joe

    Glad to see it!!

    Katman, I will say that the first Treager did an ok job.  However as stated it was pretty flimsy in comparison.  When I had trouble with it their customer service sucked.  Was given a second one, the small Tailgater model and it was junk.  Right out of the box it didn't work.  Let the local...

    Glad to see it!!

    I had Treagers.  Pretty cheesy in comparison to the Yoder.  Now the only reason I'd have another Treager was if they gave it to me and then I'd only keep it long enough to dump it on someone else. Joe

    Glad to see it!!

    Congratulations, I've had my YS640 for about a year now and love it.  Had 1 problem with it and Yoder stepped up to the plate and took care of it.  Does a GREAT job giving things a light smoke flavor.  For heavier smoke, add one of Todd's new Smoking Tubes.  I also recommend using 100% flavor...

    NEW PRODUCT: A-MAZE-N-TUBE-SMOKER

    Todd sent me one of these to test, but work got in the way of me doing much with it till yesterday.  Set up the Yoder for a run of Smoked Salmon using a mix of Todd's Oak and Maple Pellets.  Then I took the Tube and filled it about 1\3rd of the way with Todd's pellet mix and lite it off.  I set...

    Very sad

    Always a bad thing.  Recently I was visiting a friend on Long Island and she says " Let's go to this GREAT BBO place and have ribs for dinner".  She went on to heap praise on this place about their food, etc. all the toime we were driving there.  Place was reasonably busy, so we decided to try 2...

    looking for a smoker questions on Traeger Lil Tex Smoker

    I sold mine to the first guy that looked at it for a lot more than that, so I would really look it over closely.  Things like the controller, is it the standard 3 position control or the upgraded digital control.  Make them fire it up to be sure it lights.  Hot Rods are no fun to change.  Beyond...

    Family Smoking Shootout in Parker Colorado

    Hey Dave, Got my shipment of pellets from Todd today.  So you can start planning another trip.   I'm looking forward to getting some of these in the Yoder and seeing what a difference 100% flavor wood makes as opposed to the Oak based with flavor oil that Treager puts out. Joe

    Family Smoking Shootout in Parker Colorado

    Dave, as in NWDave, you and I both know them youg whippersnappers never stood a chance.  I give you credit for going with a new to you piece of equipment though to try and give them the feeling of being on an equal footing.   If they keep practicing, and you stop, they may catch up in 30 or so...
