Agreed....folks love their green eggs. Can't say anything bad about them. I'll just comment a bit about the pellet grills as that is what I am used to.
I agree that among pellet grill enthusiasts, Traeger is well known and has market share, but is quickly falling in market share, etc., as the pellet grills made by other companies grow in popularity. There are many other better brands, Yoder, Grilla, and my favorite, Camp Chef, (which has a 3 year complete warranty).
Camp Chef recently came out with a PID, Wifi controller which has been a game changer. For the first time one can regulate the amount of smoke, (and smoke flavor) independent of temperature setting. The range is now 1 to 10, where the older models did a smoke setting of about 3-5, which means that these new grills basically double the amount of smoke flavor if desired.
Traeger pellets are not widely liked,...in fact, there has been a lawsuit with them as they are only "flavored" with oils, and not the actual wood. This is why Lumberjack pellets have such better reviews and a strong following. I buy them at Rural King. They are 100% the wood they say they are, with no fillers or oils. They are also smaller, lessening the chance of clogs in the auger, etc.
Basically, the ability of adjusting the smoke level, the flavor of the wood pellets, and above all, the ability of being able to "set it and forget it" without babysitting makes me lean strongly towards a good quality pellet grill. Just my opinion....and no disrespect for anyone who prefers their big green eggs....Enjoy!
Respectfully, Frank
