Was the most complicated and time consuming Traeger to put together. I’ve purchased 7 Traeger for homes we have and it wasn't hard, just very time consuming. The grill itself has a hard time keeping constant heat. Compared to the other grills I have, I’m Not impressed with it at all. Set the grill to 395 to seer steaks and the temperature will go to 440 with the down arrow on the panel. Over temps cooking everything.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience with your new grill. We understand the build time can vary depending on each setup and experience level, and we appreciate you pointing that out. It’s clear you have a long history with Traeger grills, so your feedback means a lot. In regard to the temperature performance, we’d like to help take a closer look. There are several factors that can affect consistency, such as weather conditions, grill placement, pellet buildup in the firepot during startup, or even how often the lid is opened during cooking. In some cases, excess pellets or an incorrect startup process can lead to higher than expected temperatures. We also recommend checking that the thermocouple is clean and functioning correctly, as it plays a key role in maintaining your target temperature.

I had seen these grills advertised and it never really seemed like something for me. I don't really do meat prepping and don't have an interest in smoking. However a family member had purchased one and grilled some chicken on it, and after seeing how easy it was, not only the setting it and leaving it but the cleaning as well I was sold and couldn't wait to get my own.
I would recommend this to a friend!
