Do You Ever Regret Selling A Smoker?
« on: May 23, 2018, 05:16:41 PM »
I just sold my Traeger Jr. Elite.
I feel kinda bad for sentimental reasons.
Freddy Traeger was a good boy.
Maybe I can go visit him.

Naw, just sold my Camp Chef DLX, getting ready for buying a MAK 2 Star.  Loved it for the good eats and especially all I learned about smoking and pellet poopers.   Now,  selling my ol’  ‘56 Chevy Bel Air with 6”chrome reverse wheels, lift kit and 327 dropped in - that hurt.

Yep I like like cool cars also.
That would make me wan to cry

I seriously doubt that my friend.  Had to sell the Chevy when I joined the Army in ‘66.  Now, a bazillion years later, I guess my grill is my new Chevy.

Thanks for tour service

Nope.  I have not sold a smoker yet, only gas grills - Weber Summit and Weber Spirit.

I kinda regret selling my Traeger Junior instead of just putting the folding legs and keeping it around. However, if I did keep it, it would most likely just collect dust, so only kinda 8)

 No. I always upgraded..Too bad I just didn't go to the top at first.. Life in general is a learning curve, pits included...I am amazed when asked, which pit should I buy..Learning and experiencing is a personal thing that you and only you must experience..That is

 one of the reasons we sell our pits.

Yep, I wish I would have just bought a Memphis to start instead of 5 others before it :-) However, when you haven't done it, it's so hard to fathom thousands when the first propane smoker I bought was $100. Same with the kettle, wish I would have bought the Performer first since I went back for it only about a year later...cooking without shelves is a pain.

I had a traeger Jr. Elite that I regret selling, it was handy to have and take tail-gating and other events.  I have told the guy I sold it to that I want the first chance to buy it back when he wants to sell it.

No. Sold my Traeger LiL Tex Just because I had to thin the herd back then. Had a love/hate relationship with it so it wasn't hard to part with. And a GMG JB that was simply to big for what I needed just sat & collected dust.

Getting rid of my Kamado to a friend this weekend - for a summer-long "borrow" followed possibly by a purchase.

Nothing wrong with it, but the pure convenience of my pellet grills mean that I simply don't use it any more.

Gave it a once-over today at lunchtime - it is pretty clean, except it had *moss* growing along the gaskets!  :D

I luckily started w/a Memphis because of the great advice of all you guys....I have since acquired a Kamado Joe classic and they both have their place. Love them both, won’t get rid of either unless I upgrade to the Elite and a Big Joe.
