Traeger Email - Your Month in Review

[RustyJake]

My message for my 1 cook was an average grill temp of 795 degrees! Don't know where they come up with this stuff.

Obviously one of the Traeger probes were used to obtain that value
We know how accurate those have turned out to be.

Maybe since you only cooked once it said average was $795.00 per cook and you just miss read it?, LOL

I wish it reported how many pounds of pellets you burned!

I was shopping several years ago before I bought my Traeger and the salesman told me "it costs about the same per year as buying propane." After I bought my Traeger I learned that was a lie after burning through my first bag of pellets. (I bought expensive the first round). I switched to a much cheaper brand and still go through them like crazy. Granted I am doing longer cooks then I did with my gas grill but I would only go through 2 tanks a year. Don't want to count how many bags of pellets I've burnt the past year.....

I go through a tank of propane in about a month or two. I’m cooking much larger cuts of meat on the Traeger than I do on the gasser, so on a per meal basis I think pellets are actually cheaper, and at the very least, for me anyway, it evens out.

Maybe if I averaged it out it would be about the same. I probably am cooking more with the Traeger than I did with my gasser. I just know I would usually spend 35-40 a year on propane and my first bag of pellets cost about that much and didn't last long.

If I cook a brisket, using the overnight method (18-23 hours), I’ll use 1 bag of pellets at around $8.99 a bag. I’ve never checked, but I bet my 6 burner Weber wouldn’t go 23 hours on 1 bottle of propane at around $15.00 ( and fuel prices are climbing). But, I also use more pellet fuel, than propane, because of the much longer cooks, but those much longer cooks usually yield several meals.

I agree with JamesB my T1300 also burns about 1 bag of pellets for a overnight brisket

So I hit 7 "Traeger Days" last month! I'm still shooting for 15

Mine probably should have been 7 (maybe 8), but it only shows 1. At least it picked my big-ass brisket session for this.

I'm missing the last two "Your Month with Traeger" emails. Hmmm.

 

[BobbyQ]

Wouldn't break my heart if they forgot about me.

 

[FireTechMike]

The Bronson 20 is for off the grid cooking! They’ll never know my cooking stats.

 

[midwest]

I haven't got an email from them either for a couple months, no complaints thought.

I got mine for last month. My slowest month since June. Been traveling more over the weekends. Next month November will be the same. With winter season coming up I still like to grill throughout any season. But we like to travel all year long too.
