I have a green mountain because I liked it better than the traeger but if money was no object I woulda got a mak no doubt. I'm quite sure you can compete with them...

Yoder YS640 - 10 gauge steel, 150º to 600º temp range, 1070 sq. in. grate room with 2nd shelf, 3 yr. control systems and 10 grill body warranty, $1600 to your door.

For the higher price range, MAK for sure. GMG makes a very nice grill, they are the closest competitor to a Traeger with regard to performance and built quality, plus a few extras they built into their systems. Stay far away from Louisiana grills, they are junkers.

Ever look at the Royall pellet smokers out of Wisconsin. I saw them at the Jack and they are a 100% USA made trying to compete against Trager. Similar to Trager, but try to do it 2 steps better. They seem pretty well built cookers. I know 1-2 teams at the JAck even competed with them. You can also go pick one of them up being it's somewhat local to you.

For the price point, GMG. For higher quality, MAK. Either one will serve you well.

If you live in the East it's a Yoder, if you live in the West it's gotta be Mak. Traeger used to be great but they are now awful. Unreliable and poor quality. I looked at and cooked on a GMG before I bought my MAK One Star. Made in Oregon and solid as a rock..... but pricey. I love it!

somebody shut me the fark up.
I have the MAK 1 Star General and love it...the Pellet Boss controller is heads and shoulders above the current competition!

The shipping fee is what differentiates Yoder from Mak. Shipping a 200 or so pound smoker across the country costs a bunch of money. As far as I know, we don't have Yoder stores around here. Mak yes.

I don't own a pellet grill, nor have I cooked on one.... BUTT, I do have 2 friends that have purchased new Traegers in the the past year & both have died/malfunctioned within 2 to 3 cooks, 1 of them was my father in law...... When I asked him if he knew where it was made, he about Sh*t! .... "I thought they were made here" he replied...... They (Traeger's) seem kinda cheaply built to me..... I have seen the yoder's & know a few that have them & that's what I would buy.... Just me

I will be buying a Yoder in the next few months. Now I just have to decide between the YS640 and the awesome YS1320. Only problem is the YS1320 is NOT cheap.

Yoder YS640 - 263 lbs. bare naked with no pellets in the hopper; 10 gauge steel cooking chamber... 150º to 600º... shop the competition and compare...

We're to go buy a new pellet grill right now, it would be a fec-1000pg. It does everything IMO. I have a traeger that is super modified just to do what the 1000 does, but the 1000 is stainless and insulated

The Rec-Tec is built like a tank and has a huge cooking surface and excellent temperature control. I love to cook on mine.
