[smokeasaurus]

Sounds and looks like Traeger might be getting a bit serious......... a larger version is supposed to be available in a couple months after this initial release

Interesting... No stack on it

Wonder what the size of of he new model will be?
Looks like it went to Europe first and here is Germany's data with a price of 2499 Euro or $2681.20.  Germany does slam the import tax on.

Does not weigh very much.

Glad to see them still in the game, making improvements to compete. Still not sure about the Wi-Fi thing.

I also just can't figure out "why" wi-fi is needed.......I just set my temp and off I go.............but I guess the younger crowd will probably utilize it better than this old buzzard........................

Word on the net is that the small model is going to retail for 1399 and the larger one for 1999..............venturing into the Mak,Yoder price range now............

Sorry, but there is no way I'd buy a Traeger over a MAK..   

When I bought my Rec-Tec I had looked at MAK, the 500.00 difference was enough for me to say no.   I do wish I had the 500.00 saved up I would have gotten the MAK.   

BUT, I do love my Rec-Tec though

I am with you Tommy. We have had our pro series Traeger for about a week and that new controller runs this big grill with real tight temps. Way more solid construction than I anticipated.

However, if I spent 2 grand on something other than a Mak, I would expect you to leave Bama, pick up forum members on the way to So-Cal, and when you all got here, I would expect a good tail whooping from every single one of ya.....

Now that new Camp Chef has got my wheels turning

At a young age of 67 I reckon I'm just part of that "younger crowd" that utilizes technology like Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth    ... I love technology!!!

I personally often will cook/smoke/roast/etc using different temperatures and internal temperatures which trigger changes/tweaks during the cook. For example: I might smoke something for an hour at 180ºF then bump the pit temp to 350ºF till I reach a desired internal temperature. I also like being able to set different alarms - at my young age I tend to forget now and then to perform a step cause I'm busy doing something else - so I'll take all the help I can get.

Besides, I spend a lot of time in my home office working on my Blog or designing and maintaining websites and I sometimes get so wrapped up in what I'm doing that I like the gentle reminders to tweak my MAK. No matter what, I'm able to communicate with my grill and monitor or control every aspect of the cook using a Bluetooth remote control unit. With the Wi-Fi I can do everything and then some that the Bluetooth can do from anywhere across the internet using a phone, tablet, or PC.

You say "potaaaato" and I say "potato" ...

As long as its easy to use and understand, I'm with you Pete!
