Hello Everyone! I've been reading the forum for a couple weeks. My Traeger Lil Tex was delivered yesterday. I love it already! I was already using Traeger pellets (apple and cherry) in my MES Smoker (which died and was returned to Cabelas). Since I had to return the MES after just two weeks and 2 uses I decided to go with the Traeger. A Service Tech where I work absolutely loves his and he convinced me to try them.
After the poor reception I received when I called two local dealers I decided to call my friends dealer. He burned in my grill at his shop, delivered it (30 plus miles each way, he's in Iowa), carried it (with his helper) to my 2nd story deck and then they carried down my old Charbroil gas grill. On top of this he gave me two bags of pellets, a free cover, a free Traeger Cookbook, a Traeger Rubs and Shakes sampler, and two nice NY Strips and some ground chuck (my dealer also has a small grocery store in Neola, IA). I could not have asked for better service. He showed me everything I need to know about the grill and wants me to call if I have any questions or issues.
Last night I cooked some pork steaks with hickory pellets. For lunch today I made burgers out of the ground chuck with cherry pellets. For dinner tonight I'm going to cook the Strips with cherry pellets also.
Ok, enough of my ramblings... just had to post about my Traeger, I love it already.
BTW... I love this forum. Everyone is helpful and freely shares their knowledge and experiences. It is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ralph
