I know they always say get one bigger than you think but we really don’t have the room for much.
Untill you want to do 2 racks of ribs, or spatchcock a turkey.

IMO for the money the GMG DC is the way to go. Primarily for them having a side vent, which you could put a flue cover to adjust temps and smoke during colder months.
While the traeger is a little over priced. They have slots cut in the back of the grill for vents. So there's no way to control smoke & temp.
You'll be happier with the GMG.

FYI: pellets in 20lb + bags are cheaper @ SW, walmart, lowes and or HD and of all places (out here) safeway.
