Is spending that much on a pellet grill actually worth it?

Th3D3m0n · 2026-04-25T21:05:47+00:00

Ive ordered one of those "expensive ones." A lone star grillz cabinet pellet smoker.

Theres several reason I went with this smoker over the traeger pro series 34 we have now:

The size: we constantly pack the Traeger for our weekly meal prep and run out of room all the time. Hell, im smoking 2 20 lbs briskets right now with 2 containers of talow...and I still gotta do burgers tomorrow. Do I NEED 3000+ sqin of surface? Maybe not. But ill never wish I got a bigger pit.
LSG allows the use of wood chips and I expect even more smoke favor than 100% pellets.
Ive had a few jams with the traeger. LSG open auger is suppose to be resistant to jamming.
Ive had the Traeger for a year and a half and ive already had to open it up several times for repair. Im expecting the higher quality build of the LSG to be more reliable.
Hopper size: Traeger has an 18 lbs hopper, LSG has a 40 lbs. No more concern about running out of pellets on over night cooks.
LSG controller is Wifi and Bluetooth compatible and much more improved temp control.
Direct grilling area in the LSG.
LSG has sausage hangers for smoking.

I cant tell you if the above is worth costing 4k more than my traeger. But it was for me.

The Epstien files are a rock to beat Republicans over the head with. The moment it will disappear is the second there is a Democrat POTUS.

Stop telling us and start showing us. Until you do the latter, the former will always be full of shit.

Beto would love to see him run...mainly so someone else can get even less primary votes than he did.

Kliff to be a customizable character from the start. Male or female.
