Traeger Executive Owners: How Hot Does Your Grill Get?

[carpetride]

I finally got around to firing both my smokers up yesterday. 19 degrees and about a 5 mph wind. The highest I saw the Traeger get was 330 using Traeger pecan pellets. I did notice that it held temp for the rest of the day a lot better after running up like that, figure I stored a lot of heat in the bricks.

Thanks, Trent. I could only get up to 325F at 25F ambient and no wind, and the difference may be due to the LG vs. Traeger pellets. Is your 125 the older model with the double-wall lower chamber, or the newer model without?

Double as I recall. I bought it in May of 08' but the distributor had had it for some time.

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but are the newer traegers made overseas? Or is it just certain models? Is there a big difference in the newer vs older models?

Thanks,
