want to jump into bbq smoking

[HuskyHawk]

I have been eyeing one of these to replace my electric smoker. I have a Traeger too so I have been holding off.

I don't think you'd need it if you've got a Traeger. It works more or less the same way, but supposedly the combination of charcoal and wood chunks produces a little better smoke than the pellets.

That is kind of my thought. My wife got me the Traeger for father's day and I have not used it yet.

I also have, what some might say, too many cooking devices. I have a Blackstone, charcoal grill, Ooni pizza oven, propane smoker, and now the Traeger.

I pretty much cook outside year round.

I have a Kamado Joe right now but have been eyeing a Traeger forever.

Let us know how you like it once you've broken it in.

Wife got us an Ooni as well.. 2 weeks later the best pizza place in NYC opens in Jersey City.

I love my Ooni. I have the multi fuel version, but have never even opened the propane attachment. Strictly have used lump charcoal. You can make some damn good pizza for cheap with it, amongst other things.

I think this is right if you have a gas grill at your disposal. If you only are going to have one device then the Masterbuilt should be considered because of its ability to get to 700 degrees. The pellet grills only can get up to about 500 which won’t sear a steak well.
