@@obamavariant9128. I think the op is saying that Traeger owners are cucks. Get it, like they are friends with their wife’s boyfriend and stuff. Funny joke
I can't replace the feeling of getting up at 5am, making fresh coffee, going to my backyard, chopping and sawing wood, getting the smoker offset box started by 5:30 before the sun is up, and sitting by that fire, having my wife and child eventually join me, cook some breakfast sausages and eggs over that fire, watching the child play in the mud while chatting with my wife and replenishing the wood as it burns down, and slowly transitioning from coffee to beer until it's time to get that slow-smoked pork, smoked veggies, and smoker-baked corn bread served up and devoured in the evening. If that's not life . . .
I used to work at an ace hardware and holy shit this is so accurate that its almost sad in some ways. I put together and delivered so many of these things for guys and few girls who talked about the traeger just like this.
@@mikebrase5161 yeah, I could see Texas. I'm an old school brother. Raised on charcoal. Stuck in my ways. Treager is probably healthier compared to a coal derivative that's full of chemicals but I'm an old head. Just curious. Thanks for the response without making a big political deal of it. That was never my intention. Just speaking plainly.
@@fwdcnorac8574 sure thing man, I'm just a white dude from the suburbs who spent a shit ton of time in Texas when I was in the Army. I became addicted to BBQ. I grew up in WA state. In my hometown a Black dude who was a 3rd generation pit master opened a restaurant. He grew up outside of Houston. Anyhow he gave me the tour of his pit and rotisserie racks. Showed me how he got his mesquite imported up here from TX. The smoke ring on the Brisket was like being in Paris at the Louvre. Perfection.
I'll take my old fashioned wood burner smoker any day of the week, half the fun of smoking meat is sitting around it all day adding wood and drinking until you can't see straight
I completely agree with you. That said, I could smoke brisket or pork butt 7 days a week since I bought a pellet grill. It's kind of nice not to be chained to my old weber smokey mountain anytime I want good bbq (which is almost every day of the week)
I'm convinced this guy buys all the yeti stuff and the traeger because he actually loves them but is humble enough to make fun of himself/the products and helps pay for it all with the videos. I laugh every time though 🤣
You forgot how Traeger owners brag about how long they smoked something, and then pretend like it's brag-worthy. "I just did a 18 hour brisket. Yeah it was super tricky... I started it the night before, and checked on it a couple times to make sure the temperature still good."
@@Aatell764 yeah, i love smoking and slow cooking meat, all you do put on some rub throw it in, come back every couple hours spray it, and you have some bad ass pulled pork or brisket. Easy as hell lol.
I think its impressive if they its non pellet or off set since they have to keep the temp and smoke under control. Taste better too. We got a traeger cause its convenient cause i got no experience and time to learn how to use reguqlr smoking method. Traegers are great at introducing people to smoking food. Like q beginners training wheels.
Well, the app would let you know it’s location in case it gets stolen. And the app also would help for satellite recon of the thief’s location and set up an automatic drone strike from Traeger headquarters. These big corporations are really getting out of control. So it’s pretty safe in the front yard.
To be fair, it's not really a grill so much as a wood burning oven. If you want to sear on it, you've got to put a cast iron griddle inside and crank the heat.
Same, until about 10 years ago when weber started outsourcing their vape plates (flavorizer bars as their marketing department refers to them) and they started being made of worthless Chinese Psteel. Oxidizes faster than bare iron soaked in ammonium chloride.
@@halfassranch8363 for the record I have both propane and an old school Weber kettle. I use the propane when I need dinner on right away because it’s quick and easy, but when I want that smoky flavor I use the charcoal. With stuff like Cowboy charcoal I’ve gotten it over 700 degrees.
@@foosmonkey I feel ya, I have a pit boss and a weber as well but I use the propane one way more often just like you said it's convenient. But I gotta admit you just can't beat a T-bone or new York strip on the charcoal.
On his episode with Chad Mendes, he mentions he likes pellet grills and there are several good brands including traeger AND green mountain grills. The next week, traeger was a paid sponsor.
My brother in law is a city boy that has a Traeger, everything Yeti, and wears all Carhartt. Can you do a video on those people? I know he's not the only one!
@@troyounce3295 That is not what I said. To clarify for you I am saying that I dislike that Carhartt has shifted it’s focus from making reliable work clothes to street wear for hipsters.
I have a Lonestar Grillz pellet smoker arriving in about 14 weeks. I'm brewing 10 gallons of beer just for the first bbq party with it. I've only used traditional off set smokers in the past. But the idea that I could literally cook up to 48hrs without having to adjust the temperature or feed the fire was a selling point.
Have a buddy just like this; no need to ask him about his house, car, recent trip-doesn’t matter, he’ll let you know how much it cost, how it’s the best and why your’s sucks. Yeah, don’t seem to see him much any more
Hey Jim.....been a long time. I see you're leaving RU-vid comments now, but only 42 "likes" 7 months after you posted it.....man that sucks. My best RU-vid comment has likes in the 4 digits now. I tell ya I sure do know how to write greatest comments. Anyways keep trying, and feel free to stop by and checkout my new boat...it's AMAZING...spared no expense. 😁

The pit poss is great but I went with the traegar because of the dc motor instead of the ac motor on the pit bosses auger for better longevity. Not sure if the pit boss has the auto reverse to clear jams but for a couple hundred more I thought the traegar was the better choice. I do like the viewing window on the pit boss. And I wish the model I bought had the shelf in the front but I’m still happy with it.
@@williamjohnson4311 I cooked on nothing but charcoal for years.... buy a pellet grill and take a nap while your badass food cooks bruh bruh, for real. They even have charcoal pellets!!! Lmmfao. Can’t beat em join em. You kno you want a pellet grill quit playin!!
@@maxwellmortimermontoure7274 I light my lump charcoal with denatured alcohol. If you buy smoking wood chips stay clear of Webber. I have found so much bark, dry rotted wood and PAINTED wood in my bags of Apple Wood chunks. No one paints apple wood.
I got my Traeger a couple of years ago. I definitely understand the pellet obsession. You’re not alone! I go to a pellet obsession support group every Saturday afternoon. All of us keep falling off the wagon....
I have the Timberline 1300, but it's completely overkill for casual grilling like burgers and hot dogs(unless you plan on making 30+ of them), it only gets used for expensive stuff like brisket and short rib.
Traeger is the Yeti of grills, well made but overpriced and not any better than its cheaper competitors and all their owners make sure everyone knows they own one.
@@jackmehoff2363 : and don’t forget all the pure pleasure of just GRILLING it to begin with! And using the app. 😁🤣😂. I hope you know I’m totally joking. This poor man Myles is playing is at LEAST partially fictional and needs serious help. My idea of grilling is having someone ELSE do it! although I can if necessary. However there is never, oddly, a shortage of guys (I’m a chick) to volunteer for that task. Hm, maybe I AM missing something. -JK!!! 😁
As a traeger owner for the last 15 years I can say he forgot to repeat 30x how: "you cant burn anything on here, it's a traeger." Oh and how "they're not as good as they used to be now that they're not made in the usa."
I ended up going with a much cheaper Zgrills pellet smoker, and have been absolutely pleased with it. Lays down a beautiful smoke ring on everything I put into it, auger runs all types of pellets without issue, and maintains temps just fine. My brother, on the other hand, just went all in on a very expensive Traeger, and his results haven't been as good as mine, because he figured he had the best (most expensive) smoker on the market, so he hasn't put much time into reading about prep, techniques, temps, etc. I'm sure I'll upgrade in the future, but for now, my little $500 pellet smoker is doing quite a nice job
This is pretty funny, but for real the traeger grill is freaking awesome. Its changing the way my family eats. Everything I've made, from ribs, tri tips, pork tenderloins, turkey breasts, chicken has been great. Thanksgiving I smoked a prime rib and blew the doors off dinner. They are awesome machines.
Love mine…but actually got it free ;) Had a good salesman at Ace sell my uncle that it’s just a grill…for steaks. He’s not a smoker fan at all, so he asked me if I wanted it after he realized what it was…and tried to grill a steak. Lol.
This is true. Something about getting any pellet grill smoker turns you into this guy. However with that said I don’t use my oven anymore. I literally cook just about everything on my Trager. And it all comes out really quite good.
Should have added a bit where he does mixology on different pellet combinations. 32.5% Oak, 43.6% Hickory and 23.9% Apple pellet mix gives the best flavor for meat aged greater than two days but not more than six.
@@chrissquatch2795 if you remove the taste of smoke, you remove the experience, and you even remove the grill going for an iron slab instead, you're pretty much just cooking on a pan with wheels It's understandable tho, not everyone has the skills to control a wood fire and a grill, or multiple grills, at the same time
As someone with a Traeger grill, I can confirm that this video is 100% accurate. Come at me, you non-Traeger peasants. The replies to this comment tell me that sarcasm is still not easy to pick up from text.
Bought a traeger yesterday after having a shitty GreenMountain Grills Davy Crockett for 3 years. It's like moving from a vintage toaster oven to a brand new convection oven. Did two chickens and a pork butt yesterday with no issue at the same time.
I can start my Green Mountain Jim Bowie from my phone. It definitely scared the hell out of me the first time I used it. The jet engine sound was TREMENDOUS! I also got it second hand for low 3 figures.
Shii, if I got a quarter for every time this man says “Traeger” or “Pellets” I’d probably have enough to get a Traeger Grill lmao, but this video was hilarious all out lol
I bought a traeger. The pro series 34. $800 I heard so many reviews on it. And for the most part, its great. I've used it 30 times since may. My only hiccup is the lack of smoke flavor. I did get a smoke tube and have learned to cold smoke in the traeger before firing it up, it helps a little bit but its easy to over smoke it that way.
Have you tried Knotty Wood pellets? They include the bark in the pellets. A mixture of Almond and Plum makes enough smoke flavor that I don't use the tube smoker. They also have a wine-infused almond pellet that's great, if you can find it in stock. Jeremy Yoder did a brisket taste test between the Knotty Wood on a pellet smoker, and an offset smoker with wood sticks. He was chagrined when he picked the pellet smoker brisket.
@JohnShalamskas no, but I did end up switching to lumberjack pellets. So far, every single flavor I've tried has been fantastic. Also it turns out you want to run the smoke setting for a couple hours first, really seems to make a difference.
I know this is suppose to be funny and I got a laugh out of it but my normal charcoal grill works just as good. Haha. 😂😂😂 Love the video, bud. Keep up the good work.
I love my treager. However I still have a gas and charcoal smoker. And a makeshift rotisserie that I will use to cook over open flame. Steaks I'll use a sous vide and then reverse sear. Perfect every time. :)
