Ran across a smoking deal on one that I couldn't pass up. Anyone else have one? Do you love it?

I do and yes, I love it. Get the 180* switch if it doesnt have it for more precise temp. controls.
I cook everything in mine...from Steak to smoked chicken to meatloaf!
It has the digital control.

They all have a digital control but there is a 225 control that only has 3-4 heat settings and there the 180 control that has more increments that starts at 180* (smoke) and goes up to 425* in 25* increments.
It has several heat settings, not just smoke, medium and high.
Traeger has the 3 way dial and the digital control with all the settings.

I have been considering getting one. Was this smoking deal on a new one or used one? Care to pass it along at all?
How do the wood pellets work? Do you just load it up or do you only use a few of them each time you cook on it?

It was a new one. They were having a show up in Colorado (sorta like a sidewalk sale). Buddy of mine's son was there and called him to see if he wanted one. Since they were both buying he'd ship it for free to OK. Jumped in on the deal and got mine shipped free too. They came with a free cover, a bag of pellets of our choice (each) and a deal of chicken sauce or something. So all the free stuff, $200 off retail, and delivered to my porch.

Yes, a 40# bag last many grill sessions. Cooking on high to do burgers or steaks uses more pellets but you only run it a short time. Smoking uses less pellets but you run it for hours at a time so it works out. I smoked a turkey last Thanksgiving for 11 hours and used less than 40# of pellets.

Maintenance items on these are simple too. I have replaced my ignitor 2 times now but I was told they started using a higher quality ignitor that should last longer. The old ones were a cheap china made product.

For anyone looking for a pellet grill, Green Mountain also makes a nice looking unit.
