As I posted in the wrong forum last night (electric smokers forum), my buddy called me after having a garage sale this weekend. Knowing I love to use my smokers (WSM and MES) he told me his buddy who is currently going through a divorce had a pellet smoker at his place that didn't sell at the garage sale. Well, I stopped by to look at it tonight to see if I could replace my MES, and here's what I found:
Sorry in advance for the pic quality, I only had my phone with me:
So what we have here is a Traeger Texas Grill. This particular one was purchased in early 2008, and has been used only two times. Otherwise, it's sat in a garage. I asked what his buddy wanted for it, and was told $200. I offered $150, and it's mine. The main problem I see with it is that it's the older model, so it only has the option of High, Medium, and Smoke (Manual Control). It doesn't have a digital control. Thoughts?? Was this a good purchase? Any recommendations as to how to best control cooking temp?
Thanks!
