I'm sorry bro, but Traegers are overrated. Everybody has their stories, but I know for a fact they're not worth the money. I have a couple of long stories, but I don't feel like typing it all out. Just know that the WSM or even a PBS is the better option.

Same here. On a big thick steak or loaf of bread or whatever, there can be pretty dramatic temperature variation from edge to center. Very easy with a Thermapen to slide in and out to find the range. That ensures that the coolest spot gets temp. |

I'm fairly accurate to tell the doneness (sp?) of a steak by touch. I don't make homemade bread, so in the words on Mark Cuban "I'm out"

I know two guys personally who owns Traegers and both had issues with their ignition button. I don't like the fact you need to run it on an electrical source to use.

I wouldn't use a probe on anything except slow cuts like brisket or pork buttt. I wouldn't do it on burgers or steak or chicken. Last edited by Buehler445; 07-08-2017 at 06:36 PM.. |

I went through a heating element about every 6 months with my Louisiana Grill, but I grill steaks on it at 550-600. The Traeger hasn't had an issue yet with it's element, but it can only get up to 450. Elements are cheap, but they go out at the worst time: When you want to grill. |
