Time to get a smoker...

Not to take away from the Traeger, but I feel there are better pellet grills/smokers for the money. You might look into a Green Mountain Grill or Louisiana Grill. Both are capable of low temp smoking and also hitting high temps for grilling/searing that the Traeger can't. Essentially a wood fired grill and smoker.

Thanks Jmetz that was the piece of info/advice I needed to make my decision. Buy once dry once but probably ended up saving in the long run. Did some research and ended up with a GMG Daniel Boone! Did get to compare it side by side to the comparable Louisiana grill and while I liked the heavier gauge metal on the LG I did not like the rheostat type temp control nor the fact that it operates at a temp between 180-600 degrees and the GMG operates between 150-500 which I prefer due to some delicate fish and veggie dishes that I need closer to the 150 range. I also really like the auto detect "turbo" fan for cold temps and high wind. Can't wait to try it out and now i can start dreaming about someday being able to afford a fast Eddy cook shack!
