I have a green mountain because I liked it better than the traeger but if money was no object I woulda got a mak no doubt. I'm quite sure you can compete with them...

For the higher price range, MAK for sure. GMG makes a very nice grill, they are the closest competitor to a Traeger with regard to performance and built quality, plus a few extras they built into their systems. Stay far away from Louisiana grills, they are junkers.

Ever look at the Royall pellet smokers out of Wisconsin. I saw them at the Jack and they are a 100% USA made trying to compete against Trager. Similar to Trager, but try to do it 2 steps better. They seem pretty well built cookers. I know 1-2 teams at the JAck even competed with them. You can also go pick one of them up being it's somewhat local to you.

If you live in the East it's a Yoder, if you live in the West it's gotta be Mak. Traeger used to be great but they are now awful. Unreliable and poor quality. I looked at and cooked on a GMG before I bought my MAK One Star. Made in Oregon and solid as a rock..... but pricey. I love it!

I have the MAK 1 Star General and love it...the Pellet Boss controller is heads and shoulders above the current competition!

The shipping fee is what differentiates Yoder from Mak. Shipping a 200 or so pound smoker across the country costs a bunch of money. As far as I know, we don't have Yoder stores around here. Mak yes.

I don't own a pellet grill, nor have I cooked on one.... BUTT, I do have 2 friends that have purchased new Traegers in the the past year & both have died/malfunctioned within 2 to 3 cooks, 1 of them was my father in law...... When I asked him if he knew where it was made, he about Sh*t! .... "I thought they were made here" he replied...... They (Traeger's) seem kinda cheaply built to me..... I have seen the yoder's & know a few that have them & that's what I would buy.... Just me
