Questions about Traeger Grills Pro Series 34 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker, Bronze

Can I use this indoors?

Answer: Only if you have the Fire Dept. or Forestry Dept. on standby to get the smoke out of your dwelling.

Answer: You can cut some skylights in your ceiling and run some ductwork up to them off of your smoke stack and you could run it like that. No sarcasm intended. Lol

Answer: You and your family and all your friends and pets would die from carbon monoxide poisoning. With that being said, sure it's possible.

Answer: No outdoors only unless you are trying to commit suicide

Answer: I would not recommend it because it is a smoker unless you like living in a cloud of delicious haze.

Answer: Tf kinda question is this lol

Can it be used without the wood pellets?

Answer: They don't need to be Traeger pellets but, yes, you need the pellets. They work like wood in a fireplace -- they create the heat by moving down an auger that transports the pellets from a firebox to a heating coil. The speed of the auger determines the temperature. The faster it moves the faster the pellets get to the fire and the higher the temperature is. I love this smoker -- not just for slow smoking, but for the best barbecued chicken I've ever made.

Answer: No, it is a pellet grill & smoker. You don't have to use only Traeger pellets Costco has there own brand a lot cheaper.

Answer: No, the pellets are the heat source

Does this come with a warranty?

Answer: I’m not sure, but I wish we would have bought from Ace Hardware. If you buy from them you get 10-20% of all chips, runs, spices etc.

Answer: 3years from the date of purchased

What is the size of the grilling grates? I need to know the dimensions of the large and small grate.

Answer: Main Rack: 34" L x 19" D

Answer: Not to be rude, but they give you the dimensions on the product page....

how many amps does it pull?

Answer: 4 amps at the beginning and then drops to 1.5 amps for the rest of the cook.

Answer: About 5 when during startup then About 2

What front shelf fit a tfb88pzb Traeger grill

Answer:

Any order or deliver issues? Traeger site is not working and gave us so many issues with billing and delivery.

Answer: I bought mine on Amazon, and paid $100 to have a guy come to the house and assemble it. It couldn't have been simpler. I will say: you're going to need a dolly/hand truck, as the box it comes on is massive, bulky, and about 120lbs!. I just wheeled mine around to the backyard, where the guy assembled it for me! It works great. Might consider a smoker tube though. As I found the Traeger smoke a little more subtle than a lump coal smoker. Use the smoker tube for about the first hour of the smoke, and it does awesome!

Can you control the amount of smoke at any given temperature setting?

Answer: No, the Pro 34 will deliver a consistent smoking experience across a given temperature range. The Ironwood series, Timberline series, and Silverton 820 can deliver more smoke between 165 and 225 degrees Fahrenheit with their Super Smoke feature.

Can I get this product assembled?

Answer: yes-- if u pay for assembly.

Answer: Instructions were easy to follow, you can do it, then grill it. Everything I've cooked has turned out wonderful. You gotta get one

Answer: Yes, but there may be a slight charge. It was shipped without the legs attached.

What drip tray liner do I use with this grill

Answer: You will want to use the Pro 34 Drip Tray Liners BAC410 for this grill.

Answer: Do you mean bucket or inner tray .The inner drip tray I put alluinum paper ,the drip bucket has traeger bucket liner.

Does this come with the grease bucket as pictured?

Answer: Yes it does. I did order the replaceable aluminum liners for fast cleaning.

Answer: Yes

Can you use this as a regular grill too?

Answer: You can’t use charcoal on this grill if that’s the question. But you can grill anything on it.

Answer: I use it to grill burgers and hot dogs all the time.

Answer: I've had mine up tp about 400° with the blanket on it. I have a Webber for everyday stuff.

Does it run on propane

Answer: No it takes pellets and Is electric.

When was yours manufactured, if purchased through amazon? saw the same model at home depot with a 2003 date on it!

Answer: I paid Amazon like $100 to have a guy come to my house and put it together! Well worth it! I did buy if on Amazon, as it was pro series, and way cheaper than they were previously priced. I got mine last November, 2019.

does this model have the new D2 drive train?

Answer: Not sure.

what are the temperature steps ?

Answer: The temperature steps in Fahrenheit begin at Smoke which is approximately 180 deg, 180, 225, and then 25 degree increments up to High. High is over 415 degrees and is used for grilling.

Answer: The temperature options are Smoke, 180, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, and High.

Can you sear a steak on this grill??

Answer: Yes you can...turn it to the high setting and it’s ready to sear in a few minutes....also you can reverse-sear which tastes even better....its all explained in the Traeger manual...

Answer: Yes but we get it to done..

Is this grill also a smoker?

Answer: It is an indirect smoker . But can grill on it .

Answer: It's a great smoker.

Answer: no, very little smoke

Answer: Yes

How is this for grilling steaks, especially ribeyes?

Answer: I NEVER grill small pieces of meat on the Traeger. Respectfully, the smoker is for "low and slow" smoking. Caveat: I will low and slow smoke a 3" thick ribeye. You ever do a cowboy cut, Tomahawk ribeye? That isht needs low and slow, and just barely finished on the grill - just to get a char on the outside. I hope this helps. If you're into ribs, pork butts, 3" thick pork steaks, smoked turkey, etc. - stuff to cook low and slow for hours, and enjoy the deliciosness - then this is for you. Otherwise, best move on.

Answer: They came out fantastic. I did several kinds of steaks and even did brisket. I do not know your preference for flavored pellets. I do recommend you get the grilling cookbook from Traeger. It was a big help in kind of flavor, time to grill and preparation. I will say I am never going back to Gas. Tired of going to the store. A bag will last me about much longer. Good luck.

Answer: We use the Treager for pork, turkey, and ribs. It’s great for this application; however, the grille is better for steaks.

Answer: Fantastic. I was concerned it would only really be good for smoking meats. It grills meat of all kinds better than any gas or charcoal grill that we have ever used.

Answer: I don't know about grilling with this smoker, I only use mine for smoking. But a rib roast is another story, works great for the whole roast plus you get leftovers.

Answer: It will cook anything you want Steaks of any kind are delicious

Where are Traeger grills made

Answer: China.

I have 2 questions- does the grill require any type of electricity? Do the grilling areas require seasoning and if so, do you need to season each tim

Answer: Yes, the grill requires a 110v plug. Seasoning is done once when first fired up. The assembly manual has instructions on how to do this. I don't believe it needs any additional seasoning.

Does it work okay in a rainy climate like Seattle?

Answer: The day I got mine, it stormed out the day and I still grilled great ribs from the garage with plenty of ventilation. Garage kept is how I am keeping mine to avoid moist pellet issues.

What is the return policy for this item? I’m purchasing as a gift.

Answer: 30 days

How long do the grates last until you have to replace them cause they have started to rust?

Answer: I've had mine for almost 4 years and no signs of rust at all. I do keep it covered when it rains. We use it often and just like a cast iron skillet, the grill grates are "seasoned" to protect them.

Answer: The grates are porcelain-coated so they are easy to clean and will not rust.

Answer: Mine are original and 6 or 7 years old. No rust at all.

The title indicates that this is the pro series, but a previous answer says that it's not a pro. If I purchase this, is it a pro?

Answer: It’s a pro. Best grill ever! Every single meal is amazing. Unplanned bonus...I got my hubby back. He’s now lounging in the pool instead of tied to the grill. Worth every penny.

How often does this gets 'conveniently' lost by the shipping company during shipping? UPS is reluctant to deliver this.

Answer: I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment building and had no trouble with delivery.

How many Bostin Butts can be smoked at a time on this?

Answer: I've done 4, 9lb pork butts at a time, but that is NOT the max. I had room left on the grill... Conservative estimate? I'd say at least 6. Hope that helps.

Answer: I believe mine would hold at least 6 to 8 pork shoulders or pork butts. 8 would be a squeeze.

Answer: I would say 6

Does it really take 1-2 months to ship ???

Answer: Not from where I bought mine

Wondering if anyone has issues with their Pro 34 holding tempature and fires goig our during the cook?

Answer: Most likely it needs cleaning out. Take a ship vac clean the ashes and other stuff. They recommend doing this every 2 bags of pellets.

Answer: Check with technical support. They are excellent at figuring out the problem.

Answer: No we haven’t

Is it possible to get a good char on the meat?

Answer: Yes

Can you smoke meat on the Extra rack? If so, do you have to rotate it to the main rack mid-smoke?

Answer: No, smokes good on either rack

Answer: Yes and no you do have to rotate it since you want your meats to have a consistent color on all 4 sides

Answer: We haven't tried to smoke anything yet. Sorry, I don't know.

Is it big enough to hold a turkey?

Answer: It could hold two turkeys (around 18-20 lbs each).

Answer: Yes can only do 16lbs turkey traggers recipe says up to 16#

What’s the high temp?

Answer: I have not had it that high but you can set it from 225 all the way up to 375 in increments of 25. I assume the high would be 400. I have never had it over 325

Answer: 350 and above whichever the highest temp it will go maybe 450?

Answer: I've had mine up to 375, but the grate and drip pan need to be clean to do that. I found that running it at 375-pushing to 400 will get old grease build-ups smoking heavily, and that's not the smoke I want, so I tend to max out at 325-350.

Answer: 450

does it have a pellet dump ?

Answer: Yes. A little trap door on the back side of the hopper.

Answer: Yes. Very easy to use!

Answer: Yes on the back side of the box

Which overseas country are they made?

Answer: China now, used to be U.S.

For an 8 hour smoke of pork shoulder, how many pounds of wood pellets be required? Estimated.

Answer: I've done numerous pork butts / shoulder. A 9lb pork butt/shoulder is, as you said, about an 8 hour cook. The bags of pellets weigh about 20 pounds, when new. I get them for $18.99 at True Value Hardware. I fill the pellet box almost completely full before I start. About 4 - 5 hours in, I dump in a little more, to make sure the fire box doesn't run out of fuel. I'd say I use about 1/3 of the bag for an eight hour cook (so, roughly 6.5lbs of pellets). They say it's similar in cost to using a propane grill, but then I've never done an 8 hour cook with propane!

Answer: Roughly about 10 pounds in total, which the hopper can handle.

Answer: Probably half a bag (+/- 10 lb)

Answer: 5-7 lbs

Does it come with a cover?

Answer: No it does not come with a cover. I had to buy one separately.

Answer: No, it does not.

Do pellet grills really make a good investment when they keep breaking down?

Answer: I have not had any of my Traeger Pellet girlls break down. The last very good.

Answer: I've owned mine for 2 years and have many cooking hours without issues.

Answer: Yes but check at Costco frist you will love the food

I want to cook everything but on occasion like to grill up some hot dogs and burgers. Does this work for that?

Answer: Yes it works for hot dogs; however, if you wish to have an open flame flavor you will need to have a backup gas grille.

Answer: No matter which grill you select, Traeger's 6-in-1 ability means you can grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise & BBQ with pure, hardwood flavor! This grill makes it easy to cook like a pro! Just flip on the switch, add pellets, and set your temp.

Answer: Yes, you just turn the heat up.

What are the dimensions of the front of the hopper?

Answer: Pro 34's front hopper measurements are approximately,

Answer:

Answer: It holds about 18-20 lbs of pellets so it's about 10 inches by 10 inches by 14 inches

Is this the gen i model that traeger sells for $649?

Answer: Yes

did my traeger pro elite 34 come with a cookbook?

Answer: If u have to ask that question, we can assume it did not.

Answer: I'm not sure if yours did, but mine did.

Answer: Yes

What accessories does this come with? Cookbook, pellets?

Answer: none not from this vendor

Answer: NONE

What are the measurements of the grill?

Answer: Product Measurement LxWxH 27 x 53 x 49 inches.

Answer: Grill Size (HxWxD) 49x53x27 in

What is the lowest Temperature the Smoker will operate at

Answer: I've never tried to operate it at the lowest possible temperature over a prolonged period, but I'm pretty sure it will hold about 150 degrees pretty well.

Answer: 180. But it will vary 10 degrees either way

Answer: I’ve used it on days when it was 36 degrees outside but you should use the insulated blanket b/c the cook time will be longer.

Answer: There is a smoke setting to start the grill then the first setable temp is 180

How quickly should the auger spin?

Answer: It should slowly feed just enough pellets to burn/smoke.

Answer: Ours starts as soon as you turn it on to get the fire going

Is this grill WiFi enabled?

Answer: I bought mine 3 years ago. At the time it was not WiFi enabled. Maybe that has changed. It should say on the specs.

Product reviews of Traeger Grills Pro Series 34 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker, Bronze

Peter L : So far so good

Very good quality of the build. Easy to assemble. Did my first smoke two days ago and ribs came ready like never before.
Temp initially was off by about 20 degrees but later decreased to about 10 or was on the spot.
I highly recommend it

Pamela Smith : Award winner of: Most Regretted Purchase

I've done work for a few Ace Hardware's in the past and have always heard people rave about the Traeger brand. Well, that might have been Traeger years ago. Today, ours gives us nothing but trouble. The temperature fluctuates and rarely holds. We have used it a dozen times and have run into issues most of those times. I can recall using it since without incident. We tried many different pellets and keep them clean of dust and ash. The issue has to be in the controls. It is very frustrating. I don't even use the temperature probes because they aren't reliable.
Not worth the price. By far my most regretted purchase.

Anastasia Z Klossner : Love this grill

Fun directions, easy to put together and we so love the cooking. We are having fun experimenting and so far absolutely love our Traeger.

Brittany : Amazing

This was our upgrade from a previous traeger we had..love these smokers

Luke Nugent : Amazing smoker!

I have never personally smoked meats before however I have been around the process. This smoker was easy to set up and the operating instructions are clear. This smoker is truly a set it and forget it model as the temperature control works amazing! It comes with meat probes to ensure each type of meat reaches the appropriate temperature and the best part about it is that it is all digital. The meat thermometers and the actual grill temp can be seen from the outside so the lid never needs to be opened. All in all this is a great brand and I am completely satisfied with the ease of operation and final product it produces!

Wicked Man : Great Grill - if you get it at the right price

bought the Traeger Bronze Pro Series 34 Wood Pellet Grill last 4th of July. It was on sale at Abt for $750. I thought it was one heck of a deal at that price!

Since buying the grill, I've smoked just about everything I could: Ribs, pork butt, ribs, brisket, fish, ribs, burgers and more ribs. I've even threatened to smoke the dog food, but she's getting enough scraps as it is.

A Friend of mine has the Yoder 640 - and that is a much nicer, better constructed smoker - for $2k it should be. But at the end of the day, when we sit down to eat, NO ONE can tell what was cooked on which.

Pros: With the Treager 34 I like the size of the grill area - holds a ton of meat. I've done 6 slabs of ribs without space issues. And while having two temperature probes is nice, I've only used two probes at the same-time once. I normally need only one probe. But still its a plus. I like the digital read out for the grill temp and the probe. The temps inside the grill have been pretty good - some fluctuation but for the most part it holds a good consistent temperature - seeing that I'm usually setting it at 225 and leaving it for hours (although I have made a couple of modification which I mention below).

Cons: The main issues are two: One, the control unit uses a dial with ten settings - which is fine, but a digital control setting would be better. After all, it has a digital readout for temp and probe. .

And two: Top temp setting is only 375, then it goes to "High" and it's hard to get a sear on burgers or steak.

So I wouldn't call this a competition model, but rather a good starter model.

My Modifications:
+The extra front self for $60 is almost a must. I just need the room to set things down.
+Full length cover $40. Need for the weather and storage.
+Nomex Gasket, self stick gasket tape - $20 bucks on Amazon. I lined the door with it and it keeps the smoke and heat inside. Works great!
+An old horse blanket and a big old cloth drop cloth to cover and insulate the grill. This didn't cost a penny, just a couple of old blankets and a bungee cord or two. I wrap and cover the grill - holds the temp more consistently and uses way less pellets.
+Twelve foot long, 4"x 6" Extra Wide Commercial Downspout with a round to square adapter - (and a little tin foil wrapped around the Treager chimney to connect it to the downspout adapter) I can extend the smoke chimney up and out of the way. This is very important, otherwise my wife complains about the smoke when we are sitting outside! But with the twelve foot extension, leaning against the house, it gets the smoke up, up and out of the way. Happy wife, happy smoking hubby! Plus I had it just sitting around so it didn't cost me anything.

With all that - I am very happy with the Treager 34 pro. Now we will see how good it works as "winter is coming" and I live north of the wall!

Jason York : Worst Nightmare Ever!!!

I bought a Traeger grill because my co-worker recommended it... It has been a nightmare. I bought what I thought was a high end grill. It came dented. I though about just using it, but it's a high end grill right? So I talked to their customer service, (who are awesome and will help you within the limits of what they're allowed), and they sent me a new hopper. The new hopper looked so bad (check pictures). So I get a third hopper. It looks great, but the auger doesn't work. I spent so long on the phone showing the fan/insides of the grill. They won't return it third party unless you pretty much take the grill apart and prove it doesn't work. So the second time they asked me if I turned on the grill to see if it works. The last time, they said because I used it, they couldn't return it. I finally called Amazon and they refunded me and told me to throw it away. If you can, get it in person directly. I am completely unhappy with my entire Traeger experience.

Kelly O. : It will change how you grill

The option to smoke before actually cooking has changed how and what I make on a grill. It adds flavor and takes the guesswork out of the grilling process. I love the two thermometers, the amount of cooking space, and how you can slow your roll or speed up the process. I love it, and you will too!

Renovator : One of the best grills I've purchased!

Love this grill! Easy assembly (they recommend two people) but, was very simple by myself. Been making jerky on my other traegerand has worked great. However, this grill provides a much larger space and the smoke is amazing! You can pay another $600 for the 885 with wifi, but why? Set it and let it do it's magic. Love this grill!

Irina : Very good brand

The best investment ever. We are enjoying delicious and easily cooked meals.

El Jeepo : This Traeger is super easy to use

Was always afraid of smoking meats, not anymore! This Traeger is super easy to use.

Jesse Farkas : Doesn't heat to the correct temperature

The temperature outside is 70 degrees Fahrenheit and this cannot attain the max 450F temp even after letting it warm up for a half hour. It'll read as 430ish on the unit itself, and the actual temperature inside will be around 400-410F. So, as long as you don't care about what temperature you're smoking, or using a 3rd party probe it's ok.

Tldr; the temperature control is completely unreliable

Ricky G : Broken product.

The item came in and I immediately started to assemble. To my dismay, it was missing handles and the legs to the device wouldn’t fit. On closer inspection, the whole side of the grill was dented and distorted. Do NOT buy from this seller.

Renovator : One of the best grills I've purchased!

rybol19 : Great for smoking not as a bbq.

Great for smoking!!! but...grilling chicken, steak, or burgers. I
Cant get it over 400 degreesao it's a slow process, even in FL.

Don Lucius : Died 8/28

The igniter failed today, went to check on meat and the fire box was full of pellets, emptied the pellets, tried to start and the igniter failed. Purchased 6/5/2019

Steven : This thing is amazing!!!

I use this thing to cook all the time and it’s absolutely awesome. So easy to use and the possibilities are endless. You can literally cook almost anything on it.

j : Cane damaged, won’t heat to 450

We’ve never been able to get it up to 450. Even using the recommended pellets. It also came with a big dent where the leg attaches.

Ricky G : Broken product.

Rose : Arrived damaged - twice!

This item arrived the first time damaged with clear damage to the box and dented in such a way that a leg could not be installed. We called and replaced it only to receive the second one damaged, as shown in the pics. At this time we can only return it - limited number of replacements per order. But the cost of this smoker is now more than double what we paid originally. Currently scheduled to have the item picked up and returned - I hope that goes better than the rest of this purchase.

HT : First time Brisket on Traeger Wins Top Chef Title (at home)

This smoker will give you an advantage of a lifetime, allowing endless flavor possibilities with maximum quality. Easy set up, great quality parts, efficient heat control, and top notch brand name guides and recipes.

Jesse R. : No owners manual included.

The package contained no owners or assembly manuals. When I looked on the Traeger website for tips and instructions to assemble, they show a whole "Start here" box that comes with the grill. My grill did not have this box so who knows what else I may be missing. Now I'm stuck looking for an online assembly manual when I should have had this completed by now.

Azmi Gulec : Temperature maintenance and controlled problematic

Temperature control was poor failed many times during a long cook

P.K. : Worry free

Love this smoker, it makes smoking meat task free for me.

J. Kirkland : Good grill for smoking.

Overall I like this grill. It is easy to use, easy to clean, controls make sense. I have tried a couple of times to get the temperature to 450 degrees F but highest temperature so far is 350 degrees F. But, it is in winter. Low and slow smoking works great. Boston butts and chicken have been fantastic. Steaks and pork chops I have had to finish in a smoking hot cast iron skillet to get the good char on the surface. I hope to get higher temperatures as we move toward summer.

Frank B : 2nd traeger

What can I say...its a traeger. Awesome. Worth the cost.

Amazon Customer : Auger not hooked up

I was so excited to get my traeger grill. I got it all put together. Turned it on and ...nothing was spinning. I looked and looked and found this little pin in a plastic baggie down inside the motor part. Looks like the auger wasn't attached to the actual motor which means I have to take the whole thing apart. It doesn't show this anywhere in my instructions and I'm not very pleased.

Jesse R. : No owners manual included.

Sean Walter : Best smoker

I did my first brisket in it and it was perfect and will do more. Have enough space for anything I want to smoke

Mitchell O'Connor : Great smoker

Good smoker. Temperature fluctuates quite a bit but that might be normal. Very happy with purchase and excited to what I’ll make in future

tammy cole : Arrived Damaged

I read reviews that others received damaged goods from this seller by we took a chance. Totally dented on the side. Delivered in a box with wet corners. Had high hopes. Now have a dented 700 dollar grill.

Emag3 : Quality and easy to use.

This Traeger smoker is working great so far and I have no complaints. My first ever cook came out incredible. This smoker is so easy to use.

p. Schofield : Going to need more Lipitor.

Easy to assemble. I have been using it almost every day. Great for ribs. Not so good for burgers or steaks because it doesn't get hot enough to sear the meat, but great for ribs-use the 3-2-1 recipe.

Jeff M. : Awesome!

I love this! Set and forget. Temps vary a little but I expected that. Smoked pork butts, ribs, chicken and a brisket so far and they were all delicious.

Stacey Webber : Best price for the quality. Beat out Costco.

Love, love, love. Was disappointed that Costco didn’t have their road show this year. So, I did my research and found this to be the best next option. Went to Costco last week and saw the exact one I wanted to buy and after re-comparing I’m soo happy we chose this one. It has a larger grill space. My hubby would probably use the App/WiFi a few times as a novelty. So, considering our preferences and keeping the price under 700, we are elated. Lowest price on pellets is Costco. Best T-Bones and burgers ever!!! Seriously!!! Salmon tonight, can’t wait. Delivery was easy and quick from Amazon Prime (Not surprising).

Victor Bosquez : Ok

AL Garcia : Beat Smoker grill ever

Excellent smoker Grill, still learning it but I must say I am so very happy with this product, also the free Prime installation was great, the guys were here as scheduled actually a little early, 3 days after I received smoker they came and built it, I thought there would be more too it being built, but primarily just have to put legs and chimney on and the rest just slides into place.
Took them 20 mins ???? I could have done it but I assumed it would be in a lot of pieces lol. But for free install go for it.

Jason York : Worst Nightmare Ever!!!

Shack : Various issues

The Traeger showed up damaged. The box had been dropped. I suspect it was the shipping company as he tried to assure me the rip in the box was no big deal as soon as he dropped it off. The unit had multiple dents. I opted to give it a shot anyway. Does not reach the proper temperatures (even on a hot day), probes were not accurate within 20 degrees, and the pellet ash tray was full after just a few hours of use and "smoked out". That makes the unit unusable for a long smoke.

rybol19 : Great for smoking not as a bbq.

Great for smoking!!! but...grilling chicken, steak, or burgers. I
Cant get it over 400 degreesao it's a slow process, even in FL.

Tom W. : Thumbs ????

Good smoker, no issues so far.

Brian Beaudrie : Not worth the money.

It worked great at first, but now nothing but issues on long cooks. The flame keeps going out halfway through ruining the cooks. When it happens, you have to pull all the internals out, clean out all the overfilled pellets to get it to fire back up. Love pellet grills, but Treager failed on very simple design flaws that could have made this very work like it should.

Sean Walter : Best smoker

I did my first brisket in it and it was perfect and will do more. Have enough space for anything I want to smoke

Chris : Temp swings.

I am still figuring some things out but have had it about a month and a half now. The only complaint I have is the temperature swings. I might be watching it too closely but feel like the temp swings 30 to 40 degrees for a few minutes when it drops new pellets in.

TGSNmom : Great Purchase

Directions were funny. Was thinking my husband was crazy for this purchase but we are loving it more everyday

tammy cole : Arrived Damaged

Robert Hydron : Please check your grill before the delivery company leaves.

Product had several dents in it about 3 to be exact. After removing it from the box. Even the hopper had a dent. I guess it gives it character! The box wasn’t in the best of shape. So that should’ve been a sign. But everything works so far. I wish it would’ve come with a shelf.

peggyllib : Smoker

My husband had to have it! Great price! Huge cooking surface. We had a smaller one but couldn’t move it across country. Price incredible!

J. Kirkland : Good grill for smoking.

Jesse R. : No owners manual included.
