Love my Traeger. Have not used the other ones so can not give an opinion on them.

MAK is superior to the current Traeger and it's made right here in Oregon.

We like the idea of a smoker/combo
The wood idea sounds manly. But maybe a little to much effort. I just want a unit that lasts a long time. The MAK look sweet. But boy there proud of there products.

Agreed, I do the manly method when we are camping and I do ribs..Maybe twice a year. Other than that I am in love with my Traeger and cannot speak for any other manufacturers as it is all I have known. Every time I have a BBQ someone ends up buying a Traeger after trying the meat from it! It makes the "art" of smoking such a simple task.

Mine are looking down saying "That thing is amazing. We wasted so much time with our method".

Lol.
What would they say about a high powered scope?

Ha I remember my Grandpa saying all the time "I never needed no scope. Plain old sights are all I have ever needed".
Funny old man. He was very set in his ways but I bet I could have got him to use a Traeger!

I love my Traeger! I bought it used last summer off of Craigslist and I use it all the time. Over the past 4 days it has been used to smoke 3 racks of pork ribs (6 hours), 20 lbs of Tilamook cheese (4 hours), and I just now pulled out some venison stuffed bell peppers! Look on Craigslist for pellets. There is a guy in Damascus that sells the 20lb bags for $12. He also sells the grills & may have a better price than Costco.
Happy smoking!

I started defrosting a few steelhead fillets from last weekend this morning! This made me crave Salmon but I have yet to land one this year.

Please nobody here be one of the folks that says "go buy some". I have faith that you folks are better than that!
Yeah, Salmon Fever. Had to sell my boat this year so going to be banking it for a while. Normally we would have a dozen fish by now
That boat was a hard one to give up.

I sold mine the season before last. I know I would have landed some already but I have done well on steelies and will get my share of Chinook very soon...I hope. I have managed most years to get a few good fish on the Clackamas with just my waders. It is the time of year that every morning I think about how I should be fishing right now.
Yep the Clack is a good one to fish on. I like bobbers and jigs there.
I will bank it on the willy for a while then do some trout fishing most likely this yr, and hopefully be able to get back into a boat by next springer season. Just will miss that Dory for a good long time

I do not think I will ever get over the loss of the Northwest Jet. 21ft and could go about anywhere I wanted. I try not to think about the new owner touching her...I lose sleep when I remember her. Probably will see her speed by me while in waders some day..Just needed that money!
