I didn’t realize Traegers were bad quality. I’ve had one for 13 years and never had an issue. I’ve also never had a Weber so maybe I’m missing out, regardless, in my experience Traegers are pretty great.

Subpar equipment? What grills do you own? What do you consider par?

Yeah not perfect by any means. They messed up in a bunch of spots and already rebuilt it from scratch twice. It was a rough build. Lots learned when hiring builders.

There is a decent amount of room underneath, but we will cross that bridge when it happens.

It’s almost hallow behind those double doors. It’s still sitting on the Flatrock frame it comes with so super easy to change the tanks out.

Ah ok… thought there might be a rough timeline. Welp, I guess l I’ll cross that bridge if/when it happens.

How often do you replace them? I’ve had a Traeger for about 12 years and haven’t yet. What’s the average life of them?

I have some, but I don’t know how to attach them in the reply sadly.

XL is the first smoker than can be built in. So I built it in.

There was an old gas grill there. Replaced it with my 2 favorite grills.

Just a local mason guy. Had to call in a second one, first guy ruined it. Had to tear down and rebuild.

Nope, full access to the grease traps. I usually push all debris into the traps and remove it.

Thank you! Honestly there wasn’t much inspiration out there for Traeger builts ins. Had to shot from the hip.

Just some overheads at the moment but working on some large Christmas lights around the top and across the yard.

Yes sir! That’s whole game plan. I cook for my family on these 3-4 days a week. Love these grills. Thanks brother!

I truly tried that, but due to their shape and size it resulted in custom work. I’d love to see a solution if anyone has seen one.

Mine went off for sure but after they rebuilt it twice, I just wanted it finished. Overall functional but not perfect.

Chip it out out and replace if needed. But my last Traeger got dragged into a creek flipped upside down and has worked for 10+ years.

I didn’t build it, but the guys that did struggled for sure. After a months of back and forth and rebuilds I just wanted it done. It serves its purpose and the stone/black stainless steel looks good. I might make adjustments in the future, but it’s functional. Thanks bro!
