It's interesting most of the stops are in the Midwest.

I'm guessing there's market research guiding them.

For sure. I don't think Weber is taken seriously in the South, and Traeger probably has more of the West Coast market. Dunno about the East coast / NE.

Costco is constantly having the Traeger demos in the club I use in CT. They drive me nuts as they're all kids who are way too excited, hyped up on sugar and caffeine. LQTM. They know nothing about their product and keep getting in the way of my shopping. Ugh. My local Ace Hardware has a HUGE display of Webers, but not the Kamado (OOS, currently). One of the fellows I know there hopes the Kamado returns to availability as they're having trouble with Big Green Egg Customer Service.

Alton Brown is a big detractor of BGE. He insists he was given one by his staff as a present years ago. When he opened it, the grill was broken. To this day, they haven't helped with it. I find that interesting as he's the only celebrity chef I trust.

I'm hoping to hit one of these on my way to pick up my Esquire!
