We were talking about cooking outdoors and I mentioned I was looking at some pellet smokers. He said he had one I could have - he didn't like his.
The said he had a "Traeger" that "didn't work all that well - even though it was "fairly new" He sent me these pictures
Had to drive to Tampa to pick it up - but we had some other business in that area so it was not problem.
When I got it home and really looked at it, I'm not sure if he used it more than once or twice - it was that clean and didn't look "seasoned" at all. He told me that it "lost too much heat every time you opened it" :shocked: Not sure why he was opening a smoker all that much - although I do think he replaced it with a gas grill.
I have used it several times since and the results have been OK with us. I am still getting used to it and how often I need to check the hopper - but I have not had any problem with it holding heat ... but then, I don't keep opening it.
Here is my last cook:
