Mrfish
is one Smokin' Farker
Good morning Brethren!
I love the BBQ journey and all the fun toys and people I have met and fed. I started with a Weber Smoky Mountain, traded up for a Treager, had a Jambo back yard pit, then a Rebel....
So as life changes so does our needs I guess. My Rebel 28 is an excellent smoker but it is overkill for our life style now and we are looking to downsize.
I sold my USA built Treager to my neighbor and he has had it for at least ten years now and I told him I should have never sold it to him because I miss the convenience.
So I went down the rabbit hole of looking at pellet poopers. I looked on Treager's website and the 850 Timberline looked exactly what I was looking for. So to the Brethren archives I went trying to learn as much as I could. Reading open my eye to Yoder, MAK, and others that made me question do I really want a Treager?
Leaning towards a MAK now and struggling between the one star and two star. A thousand bucks... I read people wish they got the two star, I haven't seen someone that got the two, wishing they ordered the one star...
But that Treager is pretty! My wife's words. I like the insulated cook box, but long term quality I have hesitations.
I know some of the Brethren have went down this path. Asking for thoughts and experience of their buying decision.
Thanks!
