My family is in Minnesota this week on vacation. We’re staying with friends who also enjoy bbq and and food off the grill. They usually let me do the cooking. They have a Genesis and a performer and a new Traiger Timberline. We had about 20 people to cook steaks for last night. My plan was to reverse sear everything, bringing everything up to temp on the Traiger, which has huge capacity, easily 800+ sq inches, and sear with B&b lump on the performer.
Only problem is the $3400 Traiger won’t light. It’s a month old. I did it all on the kettle and Genesis. All went fine. I just chuckled at the scene of the Traiger flashing error codes.
Anyway, not an indictment of Traiger or pellet poopers. Traiger is a good product and I know many a Smokefire owner cursed it in the beginning.
But, you do have to respect the simplicity and reliability of a Weber kettle.
