I've had the small Traeger for about five years and have only one complaint. It is dirty burning! All the different items I have cooked, from burgers to steaks to Boston Butts have been delicious. And it's almost impossible to burn anything cooking on a Traeger. My one complaint? They are extremely dirty burning! I have a mostly open air "cook shack and bar in the back of my house which is where the grill is housed. I constantly have to clean a greasy brown film from everything including the ceiling fan. Problem is, the Traeger has to be protected from the weather. Dealing with damp or wet pellets in the hopper is no fun either. Just me............


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
