So I am a BBQ purist, I like old school delicious BBQ that doesn't really need sauce. I have been all over the us and been to most of the "famous" spots. I taught myself to BBQ and Smoke meat on a regular cheap offset smoker and got to where I was cranking our competition quality meat, then I bought the traeger. I have had it for 2 years and was super stoked in the beginning. but I have found that as easy as it is, the meat just doesn't come out as good. I think the small fan that runs in it dries out the meat a bit. I also have never had much smoke flavor. this weekend I did 10 tri tips on "smoke" for 3 1/2 hours then wrapped them for a bit. the smoke ring was awesome, thick and pink all the way around but the flavor just wasn't there. so after 2 years of doing it the easy way I think I am gonna go back to an old school offset smoker/grill
anyone else feel the same after owing a traeger for a while?
