re: Are Traeger grills legit or overpriced?

Treager is overpriced. They are the worst value in pellet grills.

Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro
Green Mountain
Pit Boss
Louisiana
Camp Chef
Reqtec
Gorilla
Z Grill

All better value than Traeger. All made in China. The Pellet Pro body is made in China the rest is made in the USA. Smoke Daddy Inc sells a hopper assembly to make your own pellet grill out of whatever you want. LINK It is made in the USA so they aint cheap

The only pellet grill I have seen professional bbq cooks use is Green Mountain Grills.

I have a Green Mountain and like it a lot. I don't know how long the warranty is, but I've had mine for a few years and the heating element recently went out. They sent me a new one for free, no questions asked. If you have any questions or issues they'll respond within 24 hours. US-based customer service.

And the pizza attachment is awesome and makes great pizza. I've gotten that sucker up to 900 degrees, which I learned the hard way is too hot. You can use that same attachment to wood sear steaks, but I have yet to do it.

ETA a few pics pic of the setup and finished product for pizzas.
