Traeger Grills

Has anyone had experience with these grills? I am thinking of getting one for slow cooking, I do mostly Pulled pork and Brisket. Everything that I read on these is positive. Does anyone have one and if so what do you think of it?
Thanks
Jeff

If I had the scratch I would probably go with one. Get the largest one you can afford and then go up one more size. I'm not sure how much smoking you do, but once you get into smoking with a good rig, you will be amazed at the things you can smoke. We did chicken and asperagus last night, yum. Tonight we're going to do beans, pork roast and mashed potato balls. The list is endless. I have a smaller sized propane smoker and am looking to move up. I'll probably build one, but the Traeger would be on the top of my list if I bought.

I haven't used a Traeger, but from all that is on the net, they are great units. The most important thing for smoking though is a digital temp. control. The 3 temp control won't give you enough control as things like wind and ambient temps tend to play havok when smoking. Also different things need different temps. Whatever you do enjoy, and post pics of the finished product. We all like food around here. :thmbsp:
 
I have been into smoking for a long time and presently use a Brinkman with a firebox. I am going to do pulled pork tomorrow, and will post some pics. The only trouble with the brinkman is temp control and I would like to be able to not have to monitor the temp all the time.
