You don't do burgers and steaks on a Traeger. You want high heat for those. A Traeger is a smoker, not a grill.

Traegers are set it and forget it. Kind of the lazy man's smoker, but they turn out some awesome Q if you know what you're doing. I've been toying with the idea of buying one but the expense is hard to justify. I'll stick with my bullet and OLD New Braunfels vertical smoker until I get a wild hair.
