I have a traeger 780 pro and have zero complaints. One of buddies has a pit boss and he hasn’t had any problems. Not sure what model he has. My only advice is to keep it clean and don’t let the pellets stay in the auger for long periods of time when not cooking.

Never owned a Traeger but do have a Pit Boss Pro Series and can say it cooks everything very well
Easy to use, holds and maintains constant temperature
The forge/burner will work and perform best if it’s cleaned every 4-6 uses


When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be

For a purist like you I’m surprised you wouldn’t want to go with a ceramic grill. No electricity needed and very consistent and reliable. I’m sure electric is fine but there something about rolling smoke on a ceramic that’s really cool.

Im not for sure which one I'm gonna get yet......Gonna listen to everyone's opinion first.....Is the end product just as good on a pellet smoker as a ceramic???.....One thing I'm wanting to do is make it as simple as possible to produce great results

I don't have one, but some will say Yes it is just as good, some will say it is good, but not great. I think there are accessory smoke tubes you can use to get increased smoke at the grate. I'd like one, but don't have room for another cooking instrument, right now.


experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

Pit boss is hard to beat for the money. Both will catch on fire at some point from my and my friends experiences and both cook exactly the same.

I have the Traegar and it has wifi so I can monitor it, shut it down, or put it on keep warm from anywhere.

I have a 10 year old traeger and 3 year old pit boss. Both are great but I like the pit boss better.

Sold my Traeger and bought a Pitt Boss. More features, cooks hotter, better value.
