LOVE the pellet smoker. We had a serious wind storm in CO two years ago that blew over my 10YO gas grill and essentially killed it. Wife and I were in Costco a few weeks later and they had a couple of Traeger guys in there running specials on two of their pellet smoker/grills. One of the guys asks if we have a grill and I told him what happened. Dude starts talking to my wife about how great Traeger's were while I just stood there and thought “I’m leaving here with one of these today”. Hahaha. Sure enough, he finishes his spiel and the wife is sold. Bingo! Old grill, gone. Electric smoker, gone. I use that Traeger at least once a week.
