Not a Treager these days. Are better pellet grills. I like the light
smoke taste it imparts. Is easy to BBQ. My older Treager does not really
grill, except at the front or back edges. Does not get hot enough. New
grills do. Way easier than a Weber or any charcoal grill. Turn it on,
wait a few minutes and cook. Can set the temperature for low and slow, or
hotter. I spatchcock whole chicken and they are so moist when cooked.
You can use different pellets for different flavors. I use Pit Boss
competition blend from Amazon. Cheaper and decent pellets.
I really don’t miss my gas grill. I do have a Blackstone 28” flat top for
searing and cooking a lot of fried stuff..

I like my Traeger for longer cooks, like ham, pork shoulder, brisket,
etc. I use my gas weber q 2200 for steaks, burgers, etc at home and
the q1100 in the RV.

This is for home. Id like something that can do everything. I've
had problems with the temp control on more than 1 Q grill. So
I/ve been trying other brands. I haven't owned a pellet grill yet
so I'd like to try one. I recall you had feeder problems with one
of yours Those things are kind of pricy so I'd like to hear the
good,bad, and,ugly about various brands before choosing
one.

You want a pellet grill with a PID a controller. Much better temperature
control. Also get a Smoke tube. About $13 on Amazon. Great for cold
smoking. I put about a 1/2 load of pellets in the tube, which gives me
about 1.5 hours smoke. Cold night, cut 4# block of cheese in to 4 quarters
and smoke. Then I vacuum seal, don’t know if ziplock does just as well
and let the cheese age for 4 weeks or so. Great smoked cheese. You can
use the smoke tube in any enclosed BBQ.

I put an adjustable regulator and gauge on my old Sams gas grill and
it gives me a lot more control over the heat.

Never had a feeder problem, but had what I thought was a fan problem.
It turned out that the noise I was hearing was from a wire that the
fan was hitting. I moved it and haven't had a problem since. Wait, I
did have a hot rod (the thing that ignites the pellets) go bad. Got
another from Amazon and fixed it. No sweat.

Don't know if my Traeger has one or not. But I'm happy with the
controller it has.

Ah, come on ... as an old fart former Navy ET you *know* what a PID
controller is.
PID stands for "Proportional Integral Derivative" and is used in
devices such as temperature controls to automatically
adjust gain or power based on an anticipated slope or rise
that is internally calculated.
Properly adjusted, it prevents overshoot or developing oscillations
around the desired setpoint.
