What customers say about "Key Specs"

Camp Chef PG24DLX Deluxe Pellet Grill and Smoker

Turn it on and it's ready in about 10 minutes. Old school smoker takes about half hour to prep and get to right temp.
Works great and there are handy features such as ability to change out the pellets and the ash dump.
It's a wonderful grill and I highly recommend it. The smoke flavor enhances most any meat (and vegetable). It has plenty of surface area.
It has a large cooking area. I just smoked 6# of chicken tenderloins - all at once!
Maybe if the igniter had more surface area you'd get better contact and ignition.

Traeger TFB38TOD Renegade Pro Wood Pellet Grill

The food is so tasty! I have done everything from hamburgers to chicken and pulled pork. Everything that comes off this grill tastes like it is from an bbq restaurant.
The chicken came out perfectly and was so juicy which i never get that when i grill chicken. I was very impressed with this grill and cant wait to use it more.
I love the way they barbeque and smoke the food, always a reliable degree of heat, and the meat comes out moist. I cannot recommend the Traeger enough.
We used to have the small Traeger Grill and we loved it so we upgraded to a bigger capacity. Thanks Treager!!!
This is the most awesome grill that I have ever seen! Assembly took a little while and was very exciting!

What customers say about "Construction"

Camp Chef PG24DLX Deluxe Pellet Grill and Smoker

Assembly is very easy and the construction seems heavy duty and made to last a long time.
Feature wise, it has: an accurate thermostat, food probe, ash drop tray (way bigger feature than it sounds), solid construction and relatively easy assembly.
The construction is pretty basic, several sheet metal screws needed tightening.
Smoked my first chicken the next day. Works to perfection. Well constructed smoker.
Our grate had some cracked porcelain areas.

Traeger TFB38TOD Renegade Pro Wood Pellet Grill

I was so excited to get this grill for the weekend. It was easy to assemble and get going. It has a great place for me to keep my bbq tools and a front rack to set stuff down so I am able to easily put things on and off the grill.
The construction is solid and the instructions are easy to follow.
Not as solid of construction as I was hoping for.

What customers say about "Features"

Camp Chef PG24DLX Deluxe Pellet Grill and Smoker

The controller is exceptional: built in cool down function, high and low smoke settings, pellet prime for charging auger
Built in meat probe port so you don't have to run you probe wires under the lid.
I finally chose this one because of the cleanout feature with the ash removal cup beneath the smoker box.
The shutdown feature is nice. Click it to the position and around 10-15 minutes later the fire is out and cooled down and the fan shuts off. Very nice smoker for the price with all the features that the others, don't have.
One area needing improvement is the handle on the pellet hopper door. Water can seep in causing the pellets to turn back ti sawdust. I plan to seal this area with high temp silicone.

Traeger TFB38TOD Renegade Pro Wood Pellet Grill

I love the orange badging and and handle which makes it stand out from the other Pro Series grills.
Not too difficult to install, just keep track of which colored wire plugs into which. Works great!
I love this product. One needs to really follow the directions on subsequent start ups. It is a little more technical than a grill but well worth it.
Fabulous. You can control the temperature and walk away.
