You won't be disappointed. They do everything they say they will. I think the convenience is worth the price tag. Some don't and give them crap over it. But I use mine on almost every cook, so I don't regret spending the money one bit.pricey yes but I plan to use the proceeds from the electric to cover it
Oh heck yeahStuffed flank steak.

It depends on your price range. A Weber Kettle is probably your best bet on the low end. Middle of the road, the PK grills are great. If you want to drop some serious coin, look for a quality Kamado. All three have their strengths and weaknesses. But they will all do pretty much anything you want. There are other options if you don't mind having sepreate units for grilling and smoking. But if you want to keep it to one I would look at those three.Guys my hybrid SmokeHollow grill/smoker is on its last leg. I’m looking for advice on a grill/smoker.
I grill and smoke all the typical stuff- chicken, steaks, burgers, Boston butts, fish, brisket, vegetables, etc.
I don’t use my propane side much, so I’m fine with going all charcoal.
I’m ok with spending a decent amount as long as I feel it’s a fair deal. I understand that you get what you pay for.
What would you get that is currently on the market? Thanks in advance.
Congrats on the Traeger! I love mine and will also be smoking my first turkey this year as well. If I see a recipe that looks promising, I'll post it.I'm sure this has been discussed and I missed it in this thread, but I just bought a Traeger and I'm thinking Thanksgiving.
I'm interested in your smoked turkey and smoked ham receipes and experiences with them on a Traeger. I'm also planning on doing a brisket, but unless someone can persuade me otherwise I plan on just salt and pepper.

As far as the brisket, I've done a half dozen or so and have found that plain salt and pepper work best for me. I do use a coarse grind. I was getting a little frustrated with the flat and point not being the proper doneness at the same time, so last smoke I separated them before cooking. When the point was ready I pulled it off and made burnt ends. This will be my go-to method for the foreseeable future.
Try a BGE ,they last forever and cook anything!!It depends on your price range. A Weber Kettle is probably your best bet on the low end. Middle of the road, the PK grills are great.

I've looked at them. The loss of 2 zone cooking kind of turns me off. I've spent to long using a kettle I guess. People certainly get good results from them though. If I were in the market currently, I would probably look at a Big Joe. I'm intrigued by this one too.Try a BGE ,they last forever and cook anything!!
