Hmmmm can anyone speak to the pit boss in comparison to the Yoder? It seems to be able to do as much and for 1/3 the price. I still have time to cancel my order!

You get what you pay for...

You nailed it. $4k though, ouch!

I have both a Traeger and a gas grill. I love the Traeger but it doesn't replace a grill. Its a smoker/wood oven.

This. Weber, Traeger and Blackstone

That’s what I figured. Did some research. Sticking w the Yoder.

Consider a Primo or kamado joe ceramic grill with egg genius. Will set you back $1200 or more but gives you best of both worlds. High heat and wood/smoke flavor for steaks, pizza and chicken with smoking ease of traeger. The egg genius was the game changer for me. Smoked a brisket for 14 hrs last week, barely touched it. Only negative is limited grill space. Recommend Primo XL

Here is what you need to do. Forget about Traeger grills. You worded it correctly, it’s impossible to grill on a Traeger Pellet Grill.

here is my Suggestion. Go get yourself a PIT BOSS Pellet Grill. They have a sear plate, which when opened gives you direct contact with the flame which gives you the ability to grill. Traeger does not have a seat plate

everyone who I know who has a Traeger has the same problem your are asking about. Pit Boss Pellet grills solves that issue.

I have the Laredo and absolutely love it for grilling and smoking. No complaints

This is exactly correct. Pit boss offers the direct flame and if you add grill grates you can get 600 degrees easily for a steak. I still have a stick burner for the best steaks but when you are feeling lazy the pit boss will work.

I grill on my Traeger often and it works fine

You'll love it. Super high quality. Also awesome customer service from Yoder.

Thinking about a pellet Traeger. I want to get rid of my separate smoker and propane grill. Is grilling on a Traeger a nightmare? Seems tougher with no direct flame.
