I went to home Depot and got the traeger pro 790, and a week later, I set it to 225, came back in 10 minutes, and it was over 800 degrees. Burned up everything on the inside.
Returned it, and opened up the search again and found the rec tec stampede. Highly rated, everyone seemed to love them. It was night and day difference. Sturdier components, larger hopper, better temperature control, heck even quieter.
Got the search kit and can make great steaks and grilled chicken, and I even went to mellow mushroom while smoking a brisket and it came out terrific.
Best grill I have owned and this is coming from a Weber guy. Great for a week night chicken fajitas because it hits 450 in 15 minutes with the push of a button, and great for low and slow smoking.
