I have a Great Outdoors (Smokey Mountain Series) propane smoker and a Traeger BBQ 075 grill (with cold smoker attachment). Both have their strengths, but it really comes down to what kind of flavor that you are looking for as to which kind of cooker that you want. If you crave heavy wood smoke flavor, then you should stick to a smoker. If you want smoke flavor and ease of use, then buy a Traeger. Unlike a smoker, you will never need to add or change chips, pellets, or anything during the cooking process. Not only that, a Traeger uses indirect heat, so you don't need to flip or turn the food while cooking. All you need is a remote thermometer (with alarm) to make sure you don't burn your food. As far as availability of fuel, you can find 100% guaranteed hard wood pellets from any Traeger dealer or order them direct on line. And in reference to the cost, I always thought $1000 for a grill??? I tell you, they are definitely worth it. Not only would I do it again, I am planning on purchasing a COM 150 commercial grill in order to start a business in the next month or two.
