the old GMG has about had it, new auger, board, ignitor in past few years. Not getting up to temp now (all the fans are working and ignitor heating up) and thinking its time to replace instead of sinking more money into an old grill

Considering a 600$ lower end traeger from home depot since I only cook for 2-3 at any time I don't need a huge grill

What do you guys have and like?

I have to agree with Savell

I can make a bowl of Cheerios without my pit boss , but that thing turned me into a grilling aficionados. It is an easy way to figure out how to grill or smoke meat. I didn’t know you had to wear shorts, but the apron is a must .

Charcoal - if you're retired or on disability and nothing else to do

Pellet - if you're a working man


I prefer my pitboss over my traeger

I know a handful of guys that have owned Traeger, Pit Boss, and Green Mountain..... they all say they prefer Green Mountain. Any thoughts from folks who have experience with all of them

Pit Boss Navigator 550. I wondered if itd be too small but it has been just fine. It seems heavier built than others ive looked at and heats up FAST. No regrets.
