Greetings all
I feel bad for not posting for awhile. My phone is stocked with pictures of meals but I have been lazy...no other excuses.
So here I am 90 days into my ownership of my Traeger 575. It was my first pellet grill but I love it. I love grilling and smoking that is. The Traeger is okay but in my first 90 days I have learned alot from experience and from this website. In these 90 days I have cooked over 30 meals on the Traeger including a brisket and burnt ends, salmon for dinner, smoked salmon, salmon jerky, steaks, chicken, roasted cauliflower, a ton of other roasted vegetables, etc....
I bring food to friends, family, etc... Its and absolute joy....
I want more... I was at he hardware store yesterday and happened to drive by a bbq store. Bad move. This place had a couple of Yoders and I fell hard... I have already completely cleaned the Traeger up and am posting it on Craigslist to sell.
I want something bigger, that can get hotter, that can sear... that is reliable and that I can use ALOT and never have to worry. So do I spend 8 or 9 hundred on a decent Rec Tek or some of the other recommendations here or do I go for the YS480 from Yoder which is their lowest end pellet grill. I dont really need the 800 square inch area but just having that is nice. I really want to sear and have the full range of smoking. I want a known commodity.
So any thoughts. comments, or perhaps any Yoder owners out there?
