Bummer.
You know, I'll have to taunt you with photos of smoked goodies until you take the plunge.

Thats ok Peter. Not getting the Traeger is not an option, the wife already said I can buy one.

I've cooked on it 4 times since I purchased it (9 days). Did ribeyes tonight, didn't get the grill marks I wanted, but was still good.

Wife dragged me to Costco yesterday.
Complete impulse buy.
But I'm now a Traeger owner

Now what to cook?

Where are the pellet grill owners getting their pellets these days?
I started wit 7 bags that I bought with the grill.
About a month later I'm down to a little over 2.

There was on link for pellets posted in this thread, but they appear to only sell their blend.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, Peter.
I'll take a look.

There was a Traeger rep at the state fair today. Offered me the same pricing plan as the Costco since I mentioned it. Still didn't pull the trigger though. I'm gonna browse craislist/ebay/etc long and hard to see if I can get a deal on a used one. Just can't shell out $1k for a smoker (which included the cover, 5 bags of pellets, and some other accessories IIRC).

A bump for the pellet grill owners...

A guy local to me on BBQ Bretheren was looking for people to do a bulk purchase to save money. He's quoting me a price from BBQ Delight of 1120 lbs worth of pellets (56 bags @ 20# each) for $4.75/bag. If he and I split it, we'd be looking at $193 delivered. That comes out to $6.90/bag compared to the ~$20 bag everywhere else and is still less than half the Costco price.

He's also looking at pricing from another source yet. Just something for those of you who might be somewhat local to one another to consider.

Assuming it functions properly, that is an excellent deal.
A brand new Texas usually runs $999 at most stores. Costco occasionally has roadshows where they go for $799.
