"Awesome"

My Traeger Story: I had wanted a traeger grill for a very long time (year or more) but i really didn't want to spend that kind of money for a grill. but once i researched exactly what you can do on them from smoke to bake and everything in between i knew i had to get one. So on my birthday i decided to buy me a little tex, (070). and i am very glad i did. I have not stopped cooking on it at all. I can tell u my wife is also happy i bought this, because i have had it since April 06, 2009 and she has only cooked 2 times since then. I have cooked everything from hot dogs to steaks, and salmon and chicken on this grill and everything comes out perfect. My next test is going to be smoked ribs and then smoked turkey and ham and i am convinced that everyone will love this. If anyone is considering getting one don't hesitate you will be glad you did.
Favorite Recipe or Tip: so far my favorite recipe is marinated pork chops, so easy to do. just marinate/inject your favorite marinade, season the outside of the chops. cover and put in refridgerater overnight. start grill smoke for about an hour or two. finish to proper temperature and enjoy, they end up so juicy without any charring.
Favorite Pellet: so far like pecan, and alder, but also use mesquite and hickory.

"Best I Have Had"

My Traeger Story: have been wanting a Traeger for years. After buying many cheap gas grills and tossing them after a year my wife said just buy a Weber. So we bought a Weber Spirit. It burned everything even on very low heat. I had to constantly attend it which I did not like. After 5 months of haveing the bla bla fed up with it I purchased the Traeger Lil'Tex. It took me a couple weeks to get the hang of it but it was very worth it. Now the Weber has a new home at my neighbors and my Lil'Tex is the pride of the back deck. Everything I cook in it is outstanding. I have even smoked homemade snack sticks in it. I put a digital controller on it and I am very happy.
Favorite Recipe or Tip: Here is a tip. Place the dull side of the foil up. It will help with temp flucuations. Also is you screw the chimney cap down just a tad you will get a more smokey flavor.
Favorite Pellet: Oak, Pecan, Hickory

"BBQ070 review"
By: Jason (Hamilton, Ontario), May 5 2009

My Traeger Story: Buying the BBQ070 was not an easy process, as there is alot of competition out there in the world of grills and barbeques these days. My last BBQ lasted over fifteen years, and I was concerned that today's product wouldn't be up for long-term service such as this.

Once I started looking more closely at what's available, I realized that most BBQ's today are simply larger and more elaborate versions of the same basic concept; gas/propane direct heat under some kind of coal substitute. I'd still be dealing with the same issues as before...flareups, charring, etc. plus a heap of maintenance keeping that "stainless" stuff shiny. The charcoal units also didn't excite me, either, as they are considered "open fire" in my city and cannot be used without permits.

My brother has a wood-pellet furnace at his cottage, and I was fascinated on how it worked and the fuel system. When I saw the Traegers for the first time, the wheels started turning in my head... My main concerns for the 070 was whether it would also bake bread, as this is a passion of mine. The sales staff at Wilderness Recipes assured me it would do an admirable job, so I took the plunge and made the purchase. The only accessory I added was the dome-top thermometer, which I sprung for instead of the digital control. Knowing the temperature of the interior is more important to me than pretending I have finite control over what is essentially a wood-fired oven. My great-grandparents didn't need digital control...why should I?

The end result is that it does what they say it does. This isn't some cheap "stainless" gas grill designed to put steaks on your table in 3 minutes flat...instead you'll get the BEST tasting BBQ'ed food you've ever had, and then some. My pizza's come out PERFECT, with crispy crust and luscious crumb, with the toppings cooked and melted exquisitely....my chicken came out so good that no sauce of any kind was needed. In fact, I'm almost at the point of throwing out all our sauces, as they are practically unnecessary. I realize now that most BBQ sauces out there are trying to mimic the REAL FLAVOUR of a REAL, WOOD FIRED BBQ grill. And that's it!
Favorite Recipe or Tip: TAKE YOUR TIME! If you can cook it slower, do it!
Favorite Pellet: HICKORY
