got a way to access things you couldn't really cook before without behind a die-hard foodie that likes to stare at charred coals for hours on end. I get that is part of the experience for some. Others don't care as much - just want the food is all.

Could not agree more. Setting the timer and having pellets be automatically fed

So maybe it’s good for people that don’t care about being a pit boss but just want good meat?

But they are quick to run to social media (including CB) and brag how technology baked their dinner for them.

I’m not blaming a single person here for using a Traeger. Just saying it’s maybe not something to brag about.

Some of us that don't have a Traeger are still jealous of those that do. Not

Flavor is different from pellets. More oil in chunks and most in logs

It's not really the same at all so no reason it would taste exactly the same.

The biggest thing I notice with my electric is that without constant combustion, there isn’t as much air flow through

Oh, absolutely.

My post isn’t talking about the end product. It’s about the guy who brags about it as an accomplishment.

If you’re bragging about good food, fine. If you’re bragging because you smoked something, you didn’t.

Convenient is bad! Real flavor comes from having a smoke ring under your skin.
