    I love my regular tex, but better money would actually be spent on two lil tex's, now that know what I know. I rarely need the extra space in one grill. More often I run into the situation of Im on a 24hr brisket smoke, but I want to make burgers right now.

    I got a small gas grill that I use a lot of the time for side dishes and the like. You don't really need the wood smoker to make a burger. Gas grill is fine for that ;)

    True, I do love the wood smoke flavor on my burgers though. I usually smoke em for an hour before i grill them anyway.

    Have you seen this?

    Its a good way to double down on your traeger smoke, or use it on a regular gil for extra flavor. You can also cold smoke cheese and other things with it.

    I've put soaked wood chips in foil on the gas grill. Makes plenty of smoke :)

    Traeger is an Oregon company. That was actually a factor in my buying one.

    FWIW

    You're making more steam than smoke.

    It makes smoke. The wood chips dry out fast enough over the fire.

    Those chickens look like they had a little Korean in them.
