What do ya'll think? Propane smoker or a Traeger? I won't use it for anything but smoking meat. My current grill gets really hit (600+) for steaks and such....Is a Traeger overkill?

If you don't mind reloading the chips the propane is good. I'm lazy so the pellet smoker was a fit

I have a little gas smoker that I like. I can throw some meat in it and walk away for 45 minutes then reload with some wood for another 45 minutes or so. Very portable to take camping or hunting and fishing trips.

Dave, your last name is Egge, which is close to Egg. I feel like its destiny you end up with a Big Green Egg.

Traeger 100%... my parents got me one for Christmas. The only thing is, if you leave the grill unattended for over an hour, the pellets will get hung up and wont gravity feed to the auger thus shutting down the grill. Other than that, it beats the hell out of anything else on the market.

Im on the fence about this.
I have nothing to offer other than something you have not listed but was mentioned.

It's not a Traeger, but I've had a Pit Boss 820D for a couple of months now and our family loves it. I don't think I've cook a bad meal on it yet.
