I'm seriously thinking about purchasing a traeger grill. So I can just eat great delicious meats all the time and all the other great things like Papa Murphy's pizza. Anything I should know before I go all out? Is there any certain models to stay away from? I've heard bad stories about the durability since they started manufacturing them in China. Is there a lot of other expenses that come along with having one?
I bought like a 5 pack of wood chips. I only broke into my 3rd one after 2 years. I would definitely recommend the digital thermostat controller. It works sooo much better than low-medium-high settings
I think it's a junior. I don't think you can fit a large pizza there, but I am able to put in a full rack of babyback, or 3 whole chickens
Nice. What did you pay for that junior? I see a couple of different junior ones, one is 399 the other is 799.
Serious question for you, do you know how to BBQ? What are you using now? Are you getting good results? If you can't cook with charcoal a traeger isn't suddenly going to make you a grill master.
I cook with a charcoal grill. Everybody who eats what I make says its really good. I'm looking to step my game up a little bit. 2 of my uncles have traegers and every time I eat the food they make on it its delicious. The past couple years Thanksgiving turkey has been amazing on the traeger. I might hold out for the bigger model when I have more room and I'm out of my lease at my apartment.
Mags, how do you keep the kimchi from slipping through the grill? Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS
I have a Brinkmann charcoal grill similar to this: http://www.meatprocessingproducts.c..._iHSFgx7aOhFyYrC_ssHdazaz5-8na0xTyBoC_HTw_wcB Best thing I ever bought. You can go direct or build a sidebox low-smoke/charcoal fire for slow cooking which will maintain a low 200s temp. The charcoal grate is height adjustable rather than the grill which is awesome. When I lived in Missouri everyone had these types of grills, mostly homemade, for doing brisket and ribs. Pellet grills were scoffed at, and propane meant public execution.
Why? There's a reason traegers have the reputation for the quality food they produce. I don't always want to go through the process of getting the coals going and everything.
I have a regular texas model traeger, which is the big one. Its the best bbq purchase ive ever made. I cook pretty much everything on it from brisket to crab legs to home made bread. The best value for money is the lil tex model from costco. Goes for $500 i think. Get one, you wont be disappointed. Its BBQ easy mode.
Pretty much this. The big tex is a lot of grill and burns the wood faster. If you don't need to smoke two turkeys and a ham, the little tex will do you just right.
