Haven't been able to use it yet. Waiting on a second part to come in so it will work properly. Was told by a Traeger representative when I bought it that it would arrive assembled, all but the side burner. Not the case. However, when it finally starts to work correctly I'm sure my rating will improve. Until then, this is where we are at.

I bought this a week or so ago and yes it is expensive but you get a lot for your money and man will it cook. Best food I ever cooked. I got the front fold down shelf paper towel holder 2 storage end boxes and 6 hooks the griddle two sided and cover and some cooking tools. This stuff is very good quality.
Exceeding expectations so far. Christmas prime rib turned out perfect, homemade bacon was great, and perfectly smoked and seared filets using the induction burner on the side.
