After 15 years using a Weber Genesis, I finally pulled the trigger on a Traeger. The Weber still works fine - I just wanted a Traeger!
I made a spatchcock chicken according to the Traeger recipe, see pic below. I couldn't get the skin to crisp up and the smoke flavor was very faint (Cherry). The chicken was sitting in a lot of juices on the baking sheet so I suspect that's the reason for the lack of crispiness. If the chicken was placed directly on the grate I feel the chicken would've been tastier.
Anyway, happy to have this grill after a week of research!
