Hi everyone!
Noob brother here - my first post.
I've had a Klose offset for 20+ years but recently a friend of mine gave me his old entry-level traeger after upgrading. Only 80% of the flavor, but only 5% of the work! I am a convert, and now looking to replace my Klose, which has gotten rusty one too many times. I don't need to do anything except smoke - I have good other solutions for sear and baking. I mostly like heavy smoke - which seems to be hard to do on the traeger.
Currently shortlisting Mak 2* stainless, P&S Maverick 850 Stainless, and LSG 20x36.
My questions:
How well does the LSG stand up to rust?
Is the 2* big enough? Seems kinda small?
How well do the cold smoke features on the 2* and the LSG work?
How convenient is the grease handling?
How easy is ash cleanup?
Any comments on the smoke level they can produce?
Anything else you think I should consider?
Any other pellet grills I should look at?
Many thanks!
Ramsey
