Just about everyone who takes smoking seriously out here has a Traeger. They're made in Oregon, you know
Both my SO's dad and grandpa have Traegers, and they love them. I've eaten food cooked on the Traeger many times--pork loins, prime rib, smoked salmon, etc. Delicious. And from what I hear from my SO's dad and grandpa, it's easy to use and take care of.
When I have the money to invest in such a smoker, I certainly shall.
