Many of us here have come to Traeger grills from charcoal grills or offset wood smokers. Compared to them pellet grills do not have an intense smoke flavor and we are trying get some of that by using smoke tubes. If you are a long time Traeger grill owner you may be happy without any smoke tubes. In fact, many do not like strong smoke flavors and prefer the milder smoke flavor of pellet grills.I did not read all of the posts regarding smoke tubes but I am having a hard time thinking that after spending $1300 on my ironwood 650 I need smoke tubes. I have only used the grill 5 times and cans see smoke rings on my meats. I am going to try ribs this week on 321 recipe to compare to my Pro 22. What I am asking is do I really need smoke tubes
