Traeger is a smoker only. You can get oak stove pellets cheap, and other woods' pellets will be high dollar.
I have a friend who made his own pellet smoker. He converted an old airline serving fridge/heating oven into a smoker, and it works great. Has two fans, one for draft, one for circulation. Has great temp control, intermittent auger feed. This thing smokes everything, and does brisket very well. He used oak stove pellets, from Tractor Supply. (You can't win without hickory.) He had it for sale a few weeks ago, for $3500. If you're dying to smoke a couple hog sides, his can do it.
