Title: Do You Ever Regret Selling A Smoker?
Post by: SmokinHandyman 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 olâ€™ â€˜56 Chevy Bel Air with 6â€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 â€˜66. Now, a bazillion years later, I guess my grill is my new Chevy.

Thanks for tour service
I just edited my previous post

Thanks man. And in honor of this Memorial Day, thank you all who have served, or are serving, in our Armed Forces!

Post by: glitchy on May 23, 2018, 10:17:31 PM: 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)

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.

Post by: Greg1 on May 24, 2018, 01:35:49 PM: 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.

Post by: silverbullet on May 29, 2018, 05:36:47 PM: 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.

Post by: Chris__M on May 30, 2018, 11:37:24 AM: 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

Post by: Deebo1133 on May 30, 2018, 02:30:39 PM: 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, wonâ€™t get rid of either unless I upgrade to the Elite and a Big Joe.

Post by: Clonesmoker on May 31, 2018, 03:18:50 PM: Got rid of my Brinkmann Smoker grill and my MasterBuilt awhile back to a neighbor. Neither one could hold a big brisket or ribs, unless I stood them on end. Love my GMG Daniel Boone. Easy to use with the WiFi a lot less work and cleanup it seems also.

Post by: grilltreats on May 31, 2018, 09:15:41 PM: I never used my Ducane gasser again after I got my Kamado Joe. I eventually threw the Ducane away. I am receiving my RT 700 tomorrow, but I can't see getting rid of the KJ...only time will tell.

Post by: DMAXNAZ on June 10, 2018, 08:29:04 AM: Didn't miss my Traeger Texas at all after I bought my memphis Pro, and only missed the pellet consumption of my Pro after I bought my PG500. That Traeger could hold some meat though.

Post by: gwilliams99 on June 24, 2018, 12:46:40 PM: I've never regretted selling a grill or a smoker.
Now guns are another matter. I sold one 30 years ago that I'm still sick over.
