I Need a Bigger Traeger

[kmk1012]

I've got an old bbq075 with the cold smoke box on it. The thing is like over five feet long. I'm smoking up ten pounds of bacon for a breakfast feast tomorrow. Maybe I should consider the Traeger that has a trailer hitch!!!

I've been rockin the Junior for years and have found it big enough for most tasks. Frankly, I need a new one. Mine is really showing it's age these days.

I started out on a Jr too, kids got bigger and now the cold smoke box on mine is the size of a Jr. Maybe I don't need a "bigger" one, just another one

You can never have enough traegers.

I can do a 18 lb turkey in mine I just split it down the middle. Takes less then 2.5 hours after the 2 hour smoke. Its a Jr I believe.

Try laying out 10 pounds of bacon on it! Real estate runs out quickly.

Get some stackable racks to make some more space. Never been a big fan of traegers, I do like the convenience of them but there's something about tending a wood fired smoker that I enjoy.

Let me know if you get a bigger one, I need one to begin with. I've been tempted by them but I already have a gas grill, and a charcoal grill, so I have a hard time justifying getting another one.

 

[Swiss_Cheeze]

Perfect. A pellet would complete your trio.

I tried explaining that to my wife last time the road show was at Costco but apparently my words made zero sense to her.

 

[Swiss_Cheeze]

Well one more reason to shop alone. I don't dare do that myself so it's easier telling someone else that.

About a month ago the Traeger Salesman at Costco just about had me talked me into a Treage JR. It was a great price and I should have done it! I have always wanted one.

I finally got me a traeger also. The first thing I smoked was a beef brisket smoked it for about 8hrs. Holy crap, it was soo good I smoke almost everything now...

I'd rather have one of these or something similar.

Chuck has seen a good part of a few of my paychecks over the past couple years, he is a great guy!

I thought these were just a waste of money until I got one. Father in Law bought one, did not like it. It was too slow for him. He just wanted something to crank out a burger. So he gave it to us. First we put a chicken on it and damn it was good. After a few more things we tried bacon. I did not think it was possible to make bacon taste better. This thing does. Sadly Wife ruined it one day. By that time I was so sold on them I bought a new one. They are not for everyone but I REALLY love the way they make stuff taste and they are so damn easy. Like a crock pot. Put stuff on and forget about it.
