Traeger

[smokiedog]

Anyone use/have the Trager 6 in 1 electric smoker?  Just mentioned to my hubby this weekend about wanting to find something that would combing our kettle weber, our smoker and propane grill all into one to make for less clutter on our patio. Walked into Costco tonight and they have the Trager 6 in 1 on sale for $799.  Is it worth it?  do you love it?  Pros, cons appreciated. TIA.

Not sure which model you are looking at. I would visit the Traeger site and get details on all the models that would fit your budget; don't limit yourself to the lone item on sale at Costco or any store for that matter.  Also, here is a link to the many postings on Traeger on the SMF site.   Sure to have pros and cons there. And don't  de-clutter your patio yet.  Wait till you get your Traeger or some other pellet grill and see if you like it well enough for it to be your lone piece of outdoor cooking gear.  

I would also look at Rec Tec  and Green Mountain pellet grills.  Very popular.  Regardless of what brand you buy, get the largest you can afford.  You may not need all the extra real estate of a large unit but it does come in handy on occasion.  There are a lot of Pellet Grill videos on youtube  that may help you decide on brand and size.  Good Luck.
