Charcoal isn't real big up here in Alberta, so when my propane grill packed it in (a cheap one after my good one was stolen) I got a Traeger. A buddy had one and raved about it. We absolutely love our traeger. Cooked meals for lots of folks and 6 other families have bought one as a direct result.

Only issue we have is keeping heat up if it's really windy or cold. Traeger makes a blanket that covers the unit which definitely helps. The dealer I bought from was so confident that he had a loaner you could try out before you bought.
