[QUOTE="CompOrange04, post: 16241874, member: 23864"] I had an original Traeger for about 15 years. It was so old it only had a 3 position switch...high, med and smoke. I set it on fire at least 3x by smoking greasy "fatties" on it and then grilling and not cleaning it. That grill never ever let me down. I finally retired it because I was having a hard time with it holding temp. When I bought it they just got the pellet grill patent so they were like the one and only. I had a choice a few months ago when I bought a new one with all the companies making them now but I went back to the Traeger. Honestly, I regret it. I've had a ridiculous time with the new grill holding temp (eventhough it has the digital read out etc) and I've lost fire twice on it now during long smokes. I definitely don't love it as much as my last one and I am still debating contacting Traeger and sharing my experience and hoping maybe they send a tech out to check my grill. Now with that being said, when it is working properly I wouldn't trade it for anything. I smoked some pork steaks and chicken breasts on Saturday that I would've put in a competition. I fill that hopper up and set the temp and spray them every hour and they were to die for. Like someone also said above, I do not think they put a ton of smoke to the meat. Now they do make the high end model that is supposed to have a super smoke feature but I'm not rich enough to own one of those. [/QUOTE]
