Ive had Traegers for several years and charcoal grills. My old charcoal grill finally have out and I replaced it with a gravity fed charcoal grill. Nothing expensive just a Masterbuilt 560. Tragers are lusy for steaks and even worse for burgers and to be honest they aren't that good for smoking either. Theres workarounds for smoking but theyre never good for steaks. Charcoal is the way but Ive never used a gravity fed automatic controlled charcoal grill. Spent a few hours putting it together this morning and fired it up for dinner. Man, This thing is sweet. Had I bought it before I bought my last Traeger I never would have both the Traeger . the temp control s literally within a degree of actual and its stays there. Keeping the traeger door open for a minute and it goes all over the place. The charcoal grill heats up fast and temp changes are damn near immediate. It'll kick up 150 degrees in a minute. Full charcoal flavor and it uses a fraction of the charcoal a standard kettle grill does, It'll sear at 700 no problem.
