I know GD hates Traeger but this looks awesome!  I’m really liking the induction cook top because I have an outdoor gas stove but it sucks if it’s even slightly breezy.

I like Meat Church rubs and here’s an unboxing from Matt Pittman (Yes, I know he is affiliated with Traeger).

I bought one and hate it.  It won't get above 390° and can't cook a steak worth a damn.  The smoke pellets don't smoke either.

I made a comment on one of those "new Traeger" YouTube shill videos.  Can't remember which but they were all released on the same day.  Seems as though they hired the OLight marketing firm (pay all the "influencers"). Anyway, I said something like "I can get a PitBoss or Green Mountain pellet grill, a Weber charcoal grill, propane griddle and a sous vide machine for $1k less than that thing."  

After further thought, a RecTec, Weber, griddle, and a sous vide would probably be my first choice.

And, Traeger pellets suck, Lumberjack was my go to but Rural King decided to discontinue my visits to their store.

RK ditched the Lumberjack pellets and switched to their store branded pellets.  LJ pellets were awesome for the price.  RK pellets, not so much.  When I burn through the 80 pounds of LJ pellets I have on hand I'll be looking for another vendor.

Nothing wrong with Traegers. Almost bought one. Went with recteq instead through. Wanted the stainless steel.

I've used multiple pellet smokers....Rectec, Traeger, Pit Boss, Z-Grills and none really impressed me. They're ok, but just not the same taste as real coal and wood.

I just picked this up, will be assembling it this weekend. Hoping it gives me the best of both, the taste of real wood and coal with the ease of a pellet grill.
