At the end of the day article I says, "Joe and Brian Traeger, as well as Dansons, are not affiliated with Traeger Grills, LLC.".

Interesting...
"The company was founded in 1987 by Joe Traeger, whose family owned an Oregon heating company. Andrus joined Traeger in 2014, and acquired the business in conjunction with private-equity firm Trilantic Capital Partners."
 
I believe Trilantic holds the majority shares now.
 Its the way of the world more than ever. Build it up and sell it off.

All very confusing to me as to what Joe might add besides the name. I think that most improvements on Treager have happened since he left. Could be more to this that has not gone public, time will tell.
