Time to get a smoker...

[Gman]

Can you regular grill on these smokers?

I can with my Traeger grill. Set to max it registers 500 degrees on the thermostat.

I have a family chicken marinade that tastes wonderful, but it flares up something terrible on my Weber Master Touch with skin on chicken. My last batch I made on the Traeger and it was absolutely amazing with no flare ups plus the added flavor of a wood fire.

Sometimes Costco has Traeger road shows with lower prices.

Speaking of Sam's Club pork, that's where I get my pork loin ribs, 3 racks to a cryovac package. Excellent quality. I use the 3-2-1 method for my baby backs.

Never understood BGE pricing. The stands also looked very cheesy to me. Saw a Kamodo being sold at Costco in WA state and it looked like a very high quality product at a much more reasonable price.
