Hi guys, newbie here. Was given a Traeger pellet grill by my brother in law when he got a new one and have been in love with it ever sense. It is an early production run model and it is heavy duty compared to the new models. I primarily use it to grill as I have a large (among others) charcol vertical case smoke but have used it to smoke ribs and such. In any event, also looking to upgrade to an IPT similar to what my FIL just purchased. Very nice, I like the heat controller and it is very well built. Looking forward to browsing the different posts. Grill on!!!!
