would you ever use this for a grill or more as a lownslow smoker...? I am interested if you put a suckling pig in there could you get crackling? I got a WSM, Kettle and Kamado but love the look of these traegers :->
@gasitman - No, the only ash is at the initial start up, and is usually remnants from the previous run. Once it "warms up", there's very little to no ash at all. It is very clean burning (except for the fantastic smoke).
@BrianEibner did the reasearch they are made in china. after 2007 they moved production to china. loked at one the other day and the hinges were doodoo and it said made in china and i said to the bbq shop guy that i had a real problem buying a BBQ made in china.
@cldump You are 100% correct they are made in China. I am considering building a unit for sale that will be produced in the USA as I will not buy a Smoker made in a country that has no clue what a smoker Even is.
@BrianEibner just saw the demo today at costco...they are made in china....that killed the sale for me right there, as you have no control over what they use in the metal and paint...plus we all know how long things last from china..
@JenkyBoom - There is a thick gauge steel cover that goes over the fire pot, and then an equally thick steel drip tray that goes over that (along the full width of the bbq, under the grill). I'd certainly say that's indirect. Electricity is used to power the auger, which feeds the wood pellets into the fire pot (speed of which gives you your temp), and to also power the fan, supplying air to facilitate combustion.
Just got one. Got the fire going but there's no damn smoke. Wth...please help

@BuoyzToyz I've had the internal temp up to 450F (just burns through the pellets faster). I would expect this to be hot enough to crisp up your pig.

that is so sweet. i'd love to get one myself if they weren't so expensive. i hear they're worth it though.

Ah. What in the Hell is this? Woodpellets? Some people have this in the House for the Heat. No no no. That is not good.

@twingoschulz It is not the same pellets you use to heat your home!

Seems like you get a lot of ash on your food, do you?

hmmm, is that really indirect? how well does it maintain heat? so when you shut off the toggle switch, how does it continue to smoke?
