Smoker suggestions?

Wow, that’s a lot to chew on! I have a feeling that pellet stockpile is like ammo stockpile, what is plenty to some is ‘almost’ out to others. I have a tendency overdue things. I have a TEC infrared grill for high temp, it theoretically can do smoking, but it’s not quite right for it. It can sear a steak great.

Leaning towards a Yoder or a Traegers. IIRC, Traegers have a ‘keep warm’ function to keep it at 165 when the cook is done.

Seems like the middle size is about 600sq inch and the larger are 1000sq inch? That is on multiple levels, right?

Thanks, guys.

Wife bought herself some jewelry for Mother’s Days, and by her demeanor, she may have “Put a” Traeger at least on it.

Local veteran who turned an idea into a million dollar company.

I was working at Cherry Creek Dodge when he and his wife came in and paid cash for his second Viper.

“Keeping it warm” at 165 is only going to add an assload of acrid smoke after the cook. Dude, get a Yoder or recteq over a Traeger any day of the week. Traeger is years behind in quality and technology.

I have a Kamado Joe. I love it.

I call it, Dr. Smokelove: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the dome thermometer.

I have a Camp Chef SG24 and really like it.

I'm another Green Mountain Grills Davy Crockett user. I can do 2-3 racks of ribs in it, more than I need for almost any occasion and I love being able to take it to shooting events. I had one breakdown early (trying to smoke a Thanksgiving turkey) and customer service was excellent -- actually responded to me Thanksgiving morning!

As stated, it holds desired temp easily and without fuss. If I didn't go GMG, I'd consider the Camp Chefs -- not willing to pay more for the Traeger name -- but whatever you get, I think pellets are the way to go. I tried using it for regular grilling because of the ability to go to 550 but I have since switched over to a premium charcoal grill that can reach 1000 for a good quick sear while keeping my beef as rare as God intended.

For Fathers day gift I would go with this one AND a new Glock and still probably spend less than price of one of the so called premium brands.

I completely agree with this statement about stale ass/bitter smoke at 165. Also almost any of them is better then the traegers.

I am pretty sure ReqTeq is direct only.
