No, actually my tax bill forced me to wait a tad longer.

Bummer.
You know, I'll have to taunt you with photos of smoked goodies until you take the plunge.

Thats ok Peter. Not getting the Traeger is not an option, the wife already said I can buy one. :r

Re: Looking for opinions on a pellet grill
 

I've cooked on it 4 times since I purchased it (9 days). Did ribeyes tonight, didn't get the grill marks I wanted, but was still good.

Re: Looking for opinions on a pellet grill

Re: Looking for opinions on a pellet grill
 

Where are the pellet grill owners getting their pellets these days?
I started wit 7 bags that I bought with the grill.
About a month later I'm down to a little over 2.

There was on link for pellets posted in this thread, but they appear to only sell their blend.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, Peter.
I'll take a look.

Re: Looking for opinions on a pellet grill
 

There was a Traeger rep at the state fair today. Offered me the same pricing plan as the Costco since I mentioned it. Still didn't pull the trigger though. I'm gonna browse craislist/ebay/etc long and hard to see if I can get a deal on a used one. Just can't shell out $1k for a smoker (which included the cover, 5 bags of pellets, and some other accessories IIRC).

Re: Looking for opinions on a pellet grill
 

A bump for the pellet grill owners...

A guy local to me on BBQ Bretheren was looking for people to do a bulk purchase to save money. He's quoting me a price from BBQ Delight of 1120 lbs worth of pellets (56 bags @ 20# each) for $4.75/bag. If he and I split it, we'd be looking at $193 delivered. That comes out to $6.90/bag compared to the ~$20 bag everywhere else and is still less than half the Costco price.

He's also looking at pricing from another source yet. Just something for those of you who might be somewhat local to one another to consider.

Re: Looking for opinions on a pellet grill
 

Guy wants 550 for a texas that he bought last november....
That's a good deal isn't it?

Re: Looking for opinions on a pellet grill
 

Assuming it functions properly, that is an excellent deal.
A brand new Texas usually runs $999 at most stores. Costco occasionally has roadshows where they go for $799.

Re: Looking for opinions on a pellet grill
 

I'd say go for it! Try to talk him down to $500.
