I got a Traeger during prime days last year. We really like it. Variety of cooking and smoking. However, it does take longer to heat up and isn't as convenient.

I have a Traeger. Works well, doesn’t get above 350 though. If you want sear marks you’re not getting it on a Traeger, at least on mine anyways. I’ve had it for five or so years, without any mechanical issues.
I will be glad when it dies though. I want a Yoder Pellet grill. Made in Hutchinson, KS. Expensive, can cold smoke, sear. It’s been a while since I’ve researched them so maybe they’ve changed in the quality department. |

I've had a Green Mountain for a couple of years and absolutely love it.

Traegers rock. Make sure you cover them though as the pellets turn to concrete and destroy the grill.

Yep. I have a Green Mountain Daniel Boone. Picked it over the Treager because it gets to 400 degrees. I have never had any issues with it in 3 years. I also bought a set of Grill Grates for mine...perfect grill lines. That being said, if I had the money, I would have bought a Yoder. Very high quality. Very expensive.

The timing of this thread is so bizarre. After weeks of debating if we wanted to spend the money on a grill we don't really need (I have a fully functional Chargriller), we decided to pull the trigger on a Camp Chef Magnum Dual Function. It had some amazing features. The smoker obviously, a slide handle that lets you switch from direct heat to indirect heat on the grill, 2 built in thermometers, a viewing window for both the grill and the hopper and a bottle opener for your beer. I get it on Monday and I'm so excited to try it out!

I had a Louisiana Grill. **** that thing with irrigation pipe. It jammed, set on fire, you name it.
I went with a Traeger. We grill 3-4 times a week, smoke at least once, and I have never had a problem over the last 3-4 years. My dad has a first gen Traeger that’s rusted out, and it still works well just fine. I don’t know why people say they have problems with them. We’re just lucky I guess. |

I think Traegar's are alright, but not worth what you're spending. Have heard a lot of good things about rectec grills.
FIL has a GMG Daniel Boone with the wifi and really seems to still like it years later. |

The other problem or at least with mine is the hot rod ignitor burning out or the in line fuse blowing. All above easy fixes.
