Traeger Pro Series 22-Inch Wood Pellet Grill - Bronze - TFB57PZB

Got this as our Christmas present this year...have used it twice so far and have had two perfect meals! Smoked a turkey in the beginning of the month and today smoked the.most.awesome.prime rib roast! My husband loves it and is making his smoking to-do list!

Easy to Assemble. It shipped really quickly and I was surprised how quickly I put it together. Cooked Wings first and I should have dried the wings out more. I was a little impatient to get something going. Coming from my homemade UDS this was a premium upgrade from what I was used to doing to smoke. I will be smoking fresh salmon I caught in Alaska this summer. Can't wait. Don't wait for the right time get off the fence and order one of these things.

i was on the fence for about a year. I finally bought one! I could not be happier. My only regret is I did not do it sooner. My wife doesn't like smoked meat but has asked me to repeat a smoked chicken. Both my kids love the process and are actively involved. The recipes and instructions are easy. Putting the grill together was very easy. Seriously great product. Wish I had bought one years back. No I am not getting paid or did I get a free grill.

I was very excited when it arrived. The smoker was very easy to put together and the instructions were easy to read and understand. I have cooked on my smoker just about every day since I've gotten it and I have not had a bad meal yet. So easy to use and good is amazing

Works great. My only complaint is the entire grill gets extremely hot and handles lossen easily so I'm continually having to tighten the handles.

I used "fill in the blanks" because I wanted to use "Smoker," "Grill," etc. but couldn't decide which it was best at. But the bottom line is that it's great at everything. I finally decided to put to rest my 45 year-old Brinkmann offset smoker and knew that what I was going to replace it with had to be a good substitute...so I did my homework. There are certainly more expensive replacements on the market, but having earned my wings on a $100 heavy metal smoker, I knew that I didn't have to buy a Lexus when I knew Uber or Lyft would get me there just fine. I got the Pro22. It's perfect for what I know I want to do. Despite what the instructions tell you, you CAN put it together yourself. I'm 64, have a bad back, and can barely walk from here to there without holding onto something (OK, a bit of an exaggeration, but you get my point. If you're familiar with the directions, I was finished before I emptied the six pack they use as a reference). But I literally did put it together alone. If I can figure out how, so can you (hint: drink fast!). Took me less than an hour. I fired up that bad boy to season it and that's when I fell in love with it. Took a few minutes to understand the directions but once I did, it was so friggin' simple! I let it burn off at 400+ for an hour, then turned it down to the cool down cycle. What I like so much about it is the ease of firing it up. With a standard offset smoker, I had to wait while my charcoal heated, then had to wait after I dumped that into my firebox to light my wood (oak and apple logs), then had to wait until the I was able to regulate the temp where I wanted it, etc, etc. That was always an hour+ process. With this grill, I can be up and running consistently within less than 20 minutes. If you appreciate the benefit of a gas grill, then you'll REALLY appreciate this style of cooking. Running out of words I can use for this review, so I have to end with IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT, A FANTASTIC GRILL/SMOKER.

I love my Traeger grill. I have a Papa Murphy's pizza place just up the street, and the combination has caused my family to gain an average of 5 pounds since I receive my grill three months ago. Our cholesterol has also gone up significantly. But it is all worth it, because of the definite quality-of-life improvement! I keep the grill at the edge of my garage, and just roll up the garage door when it is time to cook.

I agree with Lee (except for last statement). DO buy the cover if you are going to store outside on the deck as I do. The cover is super heavy duty impervious to elements and strong winds won't even budge it.

Love my 22. This is one of the greatest grills - smokers I've owned. From rods to jerky it the best.

Saw the infomercial on tv and kicked around purchasing the Traegar. After careful consideration I bit the bullet and did. Once you get the hang of it it is easier and faster than a charcoal and gas grill plus you get the great flavor of what ever type of wood flavor you want. I was scared to attempt to cook brisket on the other grills but with the Traegar it is very easy and great flavor. A bag of pellets last as long or longer than a 20 # bottle of propane. Storage of the pellets is easy just go to your hardware store and buy a % gallon bucket with lid and keep it sealed until use. I have had my Traegar for about a year and a half the charcoal and gas grills hardly ever get used any more. If you want real smoked flavor and convenience this grill should be highly considered. (Don't buy the cover you will never use it.)
