New Traeger Timberline | Burn Off Review

[@Ericsbbqwi]

RIP The Donger ... Great video Ricer. That is one fancy oven. The controller looks sweet. Can't wait to see the super smoke mode in action

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Well the good news is Eric I still have the remains of the "Donger" but I need to add a strap to it so I can use it for Godzilla!!!! The controller is the best part to this pit and 2nd the big bottom racks! Thanks for watching bro!

[@troyv8302]

Don't be a hater Eric, the donger did what it had to do to compete in the women's swimming freestyle events next year 🤣

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

hahahahahahahahahahaha epic Troy!!!!

[@jonathonthorpe9685]

Would love to see this vs. the Lone Star Grillz Pellet Smoker when it comes to smoke production and flavor? A fully loaded LSG (all the accessories) is more that the Timberline XL, so would love to see the match up.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

I have ran a couple cooks on the Easy BO now and so far it has fallen short of what I was hoping for! The pit struggles a little but the controller is really bright and shiny!!! hahaha Hands down spend the money on a LSG. Easy BO will be recycled beer cans 3 times before my boys fight over who gets the LSG!! I will do a comparison someday with the LSG but I can tell you just from 2 cooks buy the LSG! It might not have as cool of a LCD screen but the app is way better in the FireBoard controller!!!!

[@matthewhaas3263]

Buying an LSG next spring. I wanted a Timberline for so long but after doing some research and watching your videos, it’s pretty clear the best pellet out there right now is made by LSG

[@richards6431]

I got my LSG about a week ago. It is awesome. I have only seasoned it so far but am looking forward to my first cook. The Fireboard controller and app is great! If you can swing it I would order as soon as you can, I had a 20+ week lead time on mine. Worth every day waiting.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Bingo!

[@cloker375]

I'm loving my PIt boss 1600 Elite I picked up after your review. This has some nice features but the price tag seems awfully high. I do like the adjustable shelving but I don't think I would ever use the burner. My pit boss gets hot and hot quick!

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Awesome brother!!! I agree the XL is overpriced IMO too! I did some chicken thighs for the first cook at 350° and it never reached that temp in around 2 1/2 hours of cooking time. But I never get to excited until I have ran a pit a few times to break it in a bit!!! But we will see how it foes! I will say that the chicken thighs cooked great and this pit does produce a decent amount of smoke but is it worth $4k??? That is still yet to be seen! Thanks for watching and have for with that 1600 of yours!!!!!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Good walk around Jeff! Hey you look great in a top hat! Reminds me of playing Monopoly as a kid! Unfortunately I would have to live on Park Place or Boardwalk to afford it. I would get behind on my house payment and I would have to go straight to Jail, haha!

[@mike_adams]

I have a Meter Block 4 probe setup already, can I pair my block along with the included 2 for a total of 6 wireless probes? And if it can, will the Traeger app display the 6 probe temps and their cooking profiles and cook notifications?

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

No it will not work. This pit is about the same price as the LSG but this one will be made into beer cans and the LSG will still be running like a champ!! Thanks for watching!

[@johnclark9337]

I'm contemplating this grill and trying to decide if it's worth the price, especially over the first generation timberline which is considerably cheaper. I like the tech but concerned it may be gimmicky. 🤔

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

IMO it is a good pellet grill mainly because the cooking chamber is built to hold 3 hotel pans. So I use this pit when I cater to hold cooks after I have wrapped them in a foil pan. The price is high especially when you compare it to my Lone Star Grillz pellet grill that costs around the same price but it is made out of 3/16 american steel. I will be doing a review on the Ironwood real soon and that pit IMO might fall in a much better price bracket for what you get. Thanks for watching!

[@johnclark9337]

@@DeadBrokeBBQ Great 👍 looking forward to seeing that review!

[@richards6431]

Nice smoker, not my cup of tea but it is nice. The addition of the two Meater thermometers was a nice addition.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

YA we will see if it lives up to the price tag. I can tell you that I did some quick chicken on it at 350° and it never got to 305° during the cook. I will give it a slide because new PID pits take a little time to get broke in. Thanks for watching!

NICE PIT BUT I CANT BELIVE IT COST MORE THAN THE LSG PELLET , I THINK THE HAT IS A KEEPER

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Agree brother!!! I am on the second cook on this pit and it is running a tad better but IMO it is overpriced. For $4k I would go LSG all the way! Honestly your FireBoard controller does more than this one for cooking! Thanks for watching and ya I might have to wear the hat in more videos!!! hahaha

[@jerrysimotas7784]

Not sure I can say this with a straight face. I miss the donger!!😜 Coming from an original Treager i still think those old non PID controller Pitts were the best of that company’s legacy. LSG for the win. Love the demo videos but we need you to get back to cooking my man. You’re one of the best on KZbin in that department but we know we all gotta pay the bills. 👍✌🏼

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Just for you Jerry I will strap the donger back on when I run the LSG!!!!! hahaha I got hit with some issues in the studio so I am behind on these comparison and review videos but I promise that I am going to get some cooks in soon!! Agree hands down the LSG is the better value over the XL! Actually nothing compares to the LSG IMO but I got more tests to do on this Traeger but to me so far it is overpriced with a fancy controller that really doesn't do much other than make a few things easy to set up. First simple cook it never reached the 350° I set the pit at to do some chicken thighs and it ran for almost 2 1/2 hours but I do not count that as a bad thing yet because it needs to break in a bit! Thanks for watching bro and I hope you are doing good with that LSG!!!???!!!

[@ShaneM007]

That thing is a Easy-Bake Oven for sure basically an overpriced non-smoking outdoor oven. So go out and purchase you a Lone Star Grillz pellet smoker. Sure if you want a fancy looking outdoor oven go for it. But if you want a true smoker that's built like a Sherman tank and smokes like a freight train get the LSG. As of now, Nothing Compares.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Ya hard to beat a made in the USA pit! I have ran this Traeger a couple times and one thing that sticks out that it is taking a long time to get to temp! It cooks decent and produces a good amount of smoke flavor but IMO it is not worth $4k!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Thanks Mark!!! Nice pit but right now IMO overpriced but still has some nice features on it!

[@Mankitchenrecipes]

There are some great features on this pit Ricer. I like the ash dump and the ease of changing the pellets except for that damn grill grate over the hopper SMH! If the pellets won't dump without having to push them down then the grate needs so go! Question: How many lbs of pellets does that hat hold?🤣 No more donger? Time for an exhaust fan! I'll still take my LSG over the Easy B. O.... Great review though!👍

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

hahahaha I think I can fit about 8 pounds in the hat! ha ha It is a nice pit but IMO about $1,500 overpriced. Nothing that special about it other than the controller but that does not do as much as the FireBoard even if it is a LCD touch screen. Plus on the first cook I did some typically quick chicken thighs at 350° and it never reached that temp in 2 1/2 hours but it is still early and every new pit needs some break in time! Thanks for watching and do not worry I will strap on the Donger when I run the LSG!!!! hahaha

Hahahaha Thanks Judge!!! I just did some chicken thighs and they turned out great but for some reason this pit never hit the desired 350° temp that I set thee pit at but I do not get all worked up on the first couple cooks because they all need a couple cooks to break in first!! Thanks for watching brother from another mother!!

[@victorbenner539]

I remember when you did the assembly. Since then I have seen this in a store and despite my not being a fan of pellets I was impressed. The use of a induction stove top is very cool. And all that stainless in the cook chamber, very impressive. It appears to be a good machine. Of course at that price it should keep your beers cold and compliment your good looks. Speaking of looks I liked the hat. It needs something like maybe a feather. About the bow tie though, it says your dreams of being a member of the Chippendales are behind you ( sorry but that's a funny mental picture 😂) Anyway great burn in and extra review. Before I go I have to say I'm very interested in the swamp cooler and I liked the big vent although it looks like maybe you need to increase the size of the out going pipe to deal with the smoke that built up some in the studio. If you do any more review on the swamp cooler it would be fun to see if it can cool some beers? Sir, have a great day 🌤 😀 🍻👍

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Hahahaha Victor!!!! Ya my chip n dale days are long gone!!!! hahaha So as far as Easy BO well on the first cook the pit never reached the set temp of 350°. It only got up to 305° but I give these pits a little time to break in and learn. So hopefully this $4k pit is what they priced it at and not just a marketing scheme?!?! The controller certainly is nice and playing to the younger generations but I will take an old fashion knob if the pit never gets to temp. The swamp cooler is fricking awesome bro!!!!!! I am telling you that thing is a huge help when I am cooking BBQ!!!! I have another exhaust hood getting installed this week at the peak of the roof to draw the rest of the smoke out! This lower hood could be bigger and we will add to it if needed to catch more but most of it rolls up the back and to the peak and back down so when we get the 1,000 CFM in this little 400 and some will just help keep it from building up at face level! Trust me we have been messing with this for 2 months now so I want it done!!!!!! hahaa Like always bro, I appreciate you watching and always leaving a comment!!!!

Nice looking pit but I think my next one is the LSG. My PB 1600 still struggles to get to temp quite often after many parts and break in cooks. PB sent me a new cooker and it was worse than the first one. PB warranty is great but I believe they should have scrapped the whole electronics and gave everyone the Elite internals to replace. That LSG seems to be a much more solid cooker. Awesome video brother but ya looked a little choked up about the Donger.😏😆 Maybe you can be more satisfied by having it go both ways!😂 Love the videos man, keep em coming.

Hahahaha Thanks Mark and ya I will still strap on the donger when I use the LSG!!!! The XL IMO is overpriced. Nice controller LCD but the FireBoard controller does more on the LSG. The LSG is made with 7 gauge steel and the Traeger is 18 gauge still. The other thing after 2 cooks the XL takes even longer to get to temp compared to my old 1600.
