Cooking doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be delicious.

THANK YOU ❗️

Cooking and product aside for a moment .......... I think the intro on this video is out f-ing standing. Beautiful camera work/editing accompanied by a great music track that literally leads the viewer into the "meat" of the video, no pun intended. Your guys earned a standing ovation from me on this one!

[@AnimeOtakuDrew]

The self-closing feature you suggested would be a nice addition, but there is one other addition that I think it should have even more, and I'm kind of disappointed that it doesn't. It needs a rotisserie! It could easily be built into the sides just like the supports for the removable racks. They could make it so the height of the rotisseries could vary to allow for various sizes of items to be cooked on it, or maybe even have three separate rotisserie slots so one large item could cook using the center rotisserie or several smaller items could cook at the same time using all three. It wouldn't be at all difficult to build that into this grill; I don't know if Traeger is responsive to your feedback, but if they are, you should pass that on to them!

[@Addyjane8835]

And only $3800! What a deal! lol

[@GuitarDudeXXX]

That's only the base price. He got a ton of the extra gadgets too. Shelves, storage bin, paper towel rack, accessory hooks, stainless fish tray, and undoubtedly a cover also. Probably added another $700.00. Nice, but....WOW!

[@chrisberry9016]

Okay Sam, this is awesome! Now, you are so into recipes, and different flavors. So, for you and everyone else. When smoking with pellets, the beauty is, you can season with the wood as well as herbs. Depending on what your cooking, you do not have to use just Pecan or Hickory or whatever. You can make a mix, in different portions, for a different flavor. Say, mostly Pecan, little bit of Apple or Cherry, with just a smattering of Mesquite. That one's awesome with Pork by the way. I know it's more difficult to do this when working from a bin, rather than a small smoke canister, but man is it worth it.

[@christophermoore2386]

I thoroughly enjoy living vicariously through your videos. Someday, Traegar, someday!

[@duaneross9271]

Traeger has come so far in the last 30 years. My 1st grill took a paste in order to get it going. I remember borrowing a traeger to cook hotdogs on, the thing was a beast. It would cook over a thousand dogs my kids school loved me, actually my borrowed grill,during the school carnival. It had two hoppers for pellets. Worked great!

[@chicagomike2111]

Mr. Sam, A few days ago I watched your Herb slow roasted salmon video from 6 years ago. I thought this would be perfect for my 93-year-old mother and 90-year-old father-in-law. I can't stand salmon; however, they both love it so, today 9-5-22 I made it on my little portable Pit Boss smoker. I followed your recipe and used "Q" 100% Alder wood pellets. My father-in-law was blown away at how good it was. He even commented it was better than his other daughter's (not my wife) salmon dish. Trust me that high praise. She is a nutritionist and cooks in a test lab. A number of years ago my mom had a salmon dish at a 5-star Las Vegas restaurant. That salmon became her benchmark, until today. She wigged out at how good it was. At least 25 times she said this is the best ever. I told her, I wish I had a bigger smoker to make larger batches. She actually offered to buy me a larger smoker. So, thank you very much for your video. As an admitted and proud Mama's boy, I live to do everything I can for my mom. Your recipe made her so happy and that made my day. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I have the Timberline 1300 which I got last summer. I was anti Traeger before, but I am hooked now. This Timberline XL is a freaking beast. I really hope Treager offers the induction burner as an addon for the older smokers. I would buy one right off the bat.

[@corey1788]

If you have an original consider yourself lucky. Traeger was one of the first pellet grills I looked at in person and I was shocked at how cheaply it was made. All brands have good and bad but I’ll never encourage anyone I know to buy a Traeger.

[@steveyork8069]

As a person who owned a Traeger Timberline,Camp Chef and now two Reqtecs.The Traeger was buy far the worst one.30-50 temperature swings very little smoke flavor and flame outs.My Camp Chef 20-30 temperature swings better smoke no flame outs.My Reqtecs 3degrees temperature swings the best smoke nearly as good as my $4k offset.I used the same pellets in all three brands.I wish you the best of luck.

[@Kalimac]

Umm never had 30-50 temp swings in my Timberline...only time my Temp was that far off from what I set it to was when I raised the temp or when first starting it up. I have used it in high winds, rain (with sun canopy over it..) and 20F degree temps. Not sure if you were using an older Timberline but the just now uncurrent Gen version at least for me in my home location never has those large of Temp swings...it does change some but then you do want smaller temp swings to give better smoke flavor to your meat...

[@dc1544]

this model is insulated so temp swings are of the past. dont be a hater. I have a 2 ton smoker on a trailer and I think this is great for big parties for those who do not know how to smoke/BBQ with wood.

[@dugjay]

I have the Recteq 700 and once I set the temp, I never have to worry about any temp changes more than 5-8 degrees and that is rare when it does. The only thing I would like to see RT do is add those bluetooth temp probes that sync with the wifi so we can get rid of the wired probes. I do like the induction side burner! That would indeed be a nice addition to any grill.

[@mjethier]

Steve, I appreciate what you'd said and I'll personally look into all of that. It would be really nice if you knew how to punctuate properly so I could read your message without having to re-read it 80 times. Busting balls, but yeah man...it's pretty bad.

See you got that mind haze! That’s some good brew. For the Traeger though: $3800 is quite a steep price for features you can get for 1/3 of the price or less. Someone else mentioned that they added the induction burner and 1500 to the price. That’s not worth it to me. I won’t pimp the brand but I got my pellet grill for $800 and a Blackstone for $300. They do everything this can do. And having a Blackstone is way more versatile.

Great when sponsored/partnered, and don't get me wrong the unit in this video is top of the line, and their more common priced grills are good a product no doubt, but mostly namebrand whoring when people buy a traeger for $800 or $1000 or $1500. Shop around, lots of better options exist at similar or cheaper price points. Same goes for buying pellets, racks, etc. Traeger pellets are just artificially flavoured alder tree wood and soy filler lol. Other brands use legit wood.

As a previous user of the Traeger+ system, I was a bit skeptical about making the switch to Asmoke. However, having experienced the difference, I have to say that Asmoke has truly raised the bar for pellet grills. The precise temperature control, the convenience of the digital controller, and the flavorful smoky taste from the wood pellets have truly transformed my grilling experience. The portability, coupled with the rechargeable battery that offers up to 10 hours of runtime, is just icing on the cake. It's perfect for tailgating and camping trips. I also love the fact that Asmoke uses recycled wood materials for the pellets, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The Asmoke Essential has truly changed the way I do grilling, and I am excited to see what I can cook up next with it. #Asmoke

[@Kyle496]

Pellet smokers are a bit weaker on smoke flavor but if you want a strong smoke flavor just use a strong wood like hickory. Woods like apple or cherry don't impart flavor that well but cherry does still give that amazeballs color. I just love the set it and forget nature. Every hour just check it, spritz it, and come back in another hour. Only thing I gotta worry about is a power outage and I could just move it over to my charcoal or gas grill.

Love your channel thanks !

[@waytruthlifedisciple]

I love this video. Makes me definitely want to upgrade from my shabby pellet grill to this one!

[@sim672]

$4k its worth more than my car :) ill settle for the Oklahoma joe highland at $449 and use a real fire like a cave man!

[@phshon]

Sam, that setting of the food in the smoker brought me to tears.

[@RocketDanger1]

You guys nailed that whole episode!!

[@Fckthishandle]

Is this just a 14 minute commercial?

[@jeffroy1832]

Love how much it can fit but aren’t you supposed to keep poultry on bottom rack so it doesn’t drip onto & contaminate the other meats? Looks amazing just what I’ve been told

[@Nevaru_42]

I would normally agree but with ribs that are going to be cooked for 5ish hours I kind of like the idea of the chicken dripping on them...I bet he did it on purpose I would and I wouldn't have a worry in the world because of the cook time.

[@jimmyroach4270]

I would still have concern about the chicken contaminating the ribs

[@jimmyroach4270]

@@aoife984 I would hope that it’s all just an oversight on his behalf

The Turkey pellets are by far my favorite for beef or any red meat. That rosemary just adds that little extra to it.

[@rhondajohnson3147]

WOWZA!!! On my want list now!

[@handijobe1076]

Keep them coming gentlemen! Venice Beach here thank you for your time and help!

[@1erinjames]

Wow Max!! Great filming! I could never afford something like that Traeger, but dang that was a great intro!!

[@tylergee1405]

Wow that's a nice looking piece of machinery right there! Might have to order one soon once I cleaned up the drool from my keyboard after i seen that gorgeous deliciousness.

[@paulsalazar228]

Dude.. You did it .. Great presentation.. That is my favorite beer!

[@CardsbyMaaike]

that meat looked so tender, lovely too. Does the fish mess up the taste of the other proteins? I don't know how smokers work, so might be a silly question, but I think of deepfried fish and then fries in the same oil...brrr...I like bbq but the hassle with charcoal and stuff not so much, tried electric didn't get hot enough (cheap thing to try) this one;s prob out of my reach but it looks fab and I can understand you didn't want to mess up the cutting board, I;m like that too

[@CowboyCree63]

I've found that bbqing/smoking fish doesn't impart fish flavor on other foods. I've gotten the fish flavor on other foods too by frying, or even on my Blackstone (the ONLY time I use a little bit of soap when cleaning it), but never when grilling or smoking.

[@yeabuddy6070]

My pellet grill is used mostly as an outdoor oven. The smoke flavor just isn't there. Plus I've started to really get into charcoal cooking again which has way more flavor in my opinion.

[@MyMW3Channel]

Lump charcoal or pieces of wood are fantastic. Briquettes...ehhh but still more flavor than wood pellets.

[@conradkostelecky7935]

Try different brands of pellets or add a smoke tube or two to get the smoke flavor level you like. There are even charcoal pellets out now by 2-3 different manufacturers. Keep experimenting till you get the best results.

[@r1chard077]

If you really want a more smoky flavor, set aside about 30-45min of smoking at 200 before you increase the heat. Also, spritz your meat. Smoke is attracted to cold and wet.

[@TempleOfFive]

looks amazing, I was expecting it to be expensive, but not that expensive. Enjoy it!

[@Patrick94GSR]

Still cheaper than his Evo flat top, though.

[@Jacqueline2279]

Wow!!! I'm in love with it!

[@88spaces]

Congratulations, Sam. You just ascended to barbeque heaven. I can only aspire to reach that level of nirvana.

[@JamesRook]

Incredible grill with an equally incredible price. Can't wait to see how you feel about it once the electronics fail.

[@kencrane6420]

+1 James, on purchases for products that I keep for over 5 years (grill, refrigerator, garage door opener, automobile) I try to decouple any technologies that could easily exist as stand alone products as much as possible.

[@JamesRook]

@@kencrane6420 About 2 years ago I replaced my old propane smoker with a Char-Broil digital smoker. After maybe 3 or 4 runs the electronic controls failed. I was promised replacement parts under warranty. I'm still waiting for those parts. Expensive lesson learned.

[@annagh2351]

This is amazing I want one!!

[@HeyJoe1978]

I took my Trager back after 2 days and 4 cooks. It could not regulate temperature at all. Over 100 degree sweeps up and down. Bought a Req Tec and couldnt be happier.
