I tried some chiken off of one of these last week and am thinking of buying one of these smokers. Any thoughts? Thanks for any inputs.

If you got the money go ahead and get one. They have been winning championships all over the country.

I own 2 of the Texas BBQ's, the 075 models and they rock! Bought the first 1 in 94 and the second in 06. Bought my parents an 075 in 96 and my best friend owns 3 of em, 2 Texas and 1 executive model. They are built like tanks and will last you a very long time!

I've had one for 6 years and love it! Can't go wrong with a Traeger IMO.

How much smoke do these things output? Would it be an annoyance at an apartment complex?

Specifically the Junior model. I've been considering one of these for a really long time, I just never wanted to drop coin on one since we live in an apartment.

We have had a Little Tex on our competition trailer for about a year. We only use it for chicken in comps, but it is a really nice little cooker. My brother has the 075 and loves it.

The only thing I don't like is finding good pellets. We have had the best luck with cookingpellets.com.

Fortunately, there is a CPA in town that loved his traeger so much he has a side buisness of selling grills and he keeps a good suply of pellets i stock.

So far I did a brisket with cherry that over did just a tad but it was pretty good. Than I did a couple of yardbirds with apple that came out fantastic.

Today I am about two hours into a 9.5# picnic shoulder.

I do have pics on my blackberry I need to figure out how to get them onto the computer to post them.
