This pellet smoker is awesome. I have used all kinds of smokers over the years. I used to go out in the woods and cut my own hickory trees down. I would cut them up into chunks and use them on a charcoal smoker just to get the smoke flavor. I would get out of bed every 3 hours in the middle of the night just to tend to the wood smoker. I’ve progressed from charcoal to gas smokers, to electric and everything in between even a few DIY builds along the way.. My Masterbuilt electric smoker died a while back and I bought this one. I was skeptical at first that I made the right choice however, after using it several times I have fallen in love. It works great, has a really good flavor, and it’s really easy to use. I know the diehard “pit bosses” will say anyone can use those and make good food. Well yea, that’s the point. I just want good food!! I don’t need bragging rights. I’ll let the food do the talking.
I was skeptical that it was going to use a lot of pellets, but it doesn’t. It takes a little bit to bring it up at temperature but once it gets there, it just sips on pellets and hardly uses any at all. I have smoked for probably 100 hours at 225* and I’ve only used maybe 40 pounds of pellets $16/ 40lb bag at Lowe’s (Walmart is cheaper, but they don’t have a good selection and depending on the time of year all mine has is busted bags no one wants).
I wouldn’t use this grill to cook burgers or a steak. Don’t get me wrong you can and I have done burgers. It’s not the best grill for that though. Like I said, it uses a fair amount of pellets to get up to temp. Running it at high heat for a short period of time is not super efficient. I’d opt for my charcoal grill for those tasks. IMHO.

Makes great meat
I never got into smoking meat because of the grueling work involved. Now I’m hooked thanks to this jewel. So far I’ve done ribeye, chicken, and an absolutely perfect brisket ( on my first attempt). Some friends who purchased lower quality grills say you can not get the smoke ring with a pellet grill. WRONG! Just gotta get a quality grill that allows the low and slow smoking. Like this one does. So glad I spent a little more for Traeger.

Size (so many pork butts)
Ease of use (flip switch, that's it)
Smoking performance (low and stable)
Temperature accuracy (see picture)
Cons:
Doesn't "grill" very well (but I have a gas grill for that)
Long form:
Quick background I've owned a different brand pellet grill for 8 years, I'm very familiar with how they work.
#1 recommendation to every new user, DON'T use Traeger pellets, they are GARBAGE. Lumberjack if you can (supreme mix is great), Bear mountain is good, so are CookingPellets Perfect mix. You need a pellet with both a decent amount of a mild heat wood like oak, and 30%+ actual flavor wood. Traeger pellets are "flavored" alder, all around mediocre. 100% oak works well and provides heat well. For flavor go with a blend like a hickory (bacony), or apple (sweet), or mesquite for that Texas twang. Supreme mix and perfect mix are great all-around.
I bought this for smoking, period. The barrel design, indirect heat, plus very low temperature stability (holds 150 or 180 great) is fantastic for smoking meat low and slow. This was an area my last grill was mediocre. My past efforts and my many future plans for this thing, none involve temps over 250.
On the flip side this is NOT for high heat cooking. I can get it up to over 400 (see picture, note that was with good pellets), but my old pellet grill would do 550 with direct heat, and my gas grill almost 700. Not using this for steaks or burgers, so it doesn't bother me, but I hopefully save some people a headache.
