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

I guess it depends on what you're bragging about. If you have a smoker, did you crack the bbq code? No, you just

Not sure the analogy extends that far, but point noted.

I just breathe on my food to warm it up.

Huh, I didn't know that is what a Traeger did. I may have to get me one.

Great point. It’s also like bragging about your handwriting when using a typewriter.

Very subtly. Even less so if you use an amazen tube or similar to add more

Interesting. I am not sure my pallet is as refined as yours.

I’m pretty sure my masterbuilt electric doesn’t taste as good as a pellet, and that a pellet doesn’t taste as good as

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

Dillinger

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

Oh, absolutely.

That’s where the microwave comparison breaks down. You can’t

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

Wait until I post about my Crock Pot cooking 😉

WJCougar

Pft. Haha. That is hilarious. The accomplishment is good tasting food.

Ozymandias

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

You dont use lump charcoal?

I guess not. Shows what type of amateur we’re dealing with here.

If he did use lump charcoal, I am sure he burned the wood down himself.

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