    Yes we do and it's not opened all that often. I will take some pics before we trim it up for the roasting. :)

    Has come out great the last few years.

    Very nice. My favorite addition to mine so far is the front shelf, I bought it on Amazon from Traeger (same price but free Prime shipping) :)

    I’ll look it up. The girlfriend got it for me. Sadly we leave tonight for Northern California so won’t be able to smoke anything until next week. But I’m about to do the initial firing and seasoning of it now so it’s ready to go when I come home

    That's a good girlfriend. :)

    I've had mine for 4 years now and have used the heck out of it. Going to be used tomorrow to do 2 pork shoulders for a retirement party for my m-i-l.

    Is this the shelf you were referring to?
    https://www.amazon.com/Traeger-Fold...rill+shelf&dpPl=1&dpID=41xm7bvel8L&ref=plSrch

    I foresee that being a superb mod that I’ll be ordering myself today

    My model doesn’t have prime shipping :pout:

    What pellets do you typically use? The girl either bought a bag or it came with a bag but I think I’ll probably get some mesquite ones. Gonna do up a brisket next weekend for sure.

    My preferred is Lumberjack Pellets, I'm fond of their Competition blend which is Maple/Hickory/Cherry. Really nice blend that lends itself well to pretty much all meats. They sell them on Amazon also if you can't find a local dealer.

    Yup, got the TP20 just like the one below. I think it's on sale for $53.99 right now. I wait $40 for it on the Prime Day sale.

    Scooter would definitely get more use out of it than I would...and best thing is he’s just over the bridge so I may even get to taste what comes off it. :drool:

    :D

    I do like it! Small growing pains but nothing I can’t overcome with a little more use...

    Initial firing, and seasoning is now complete. I guess it’s a good thing I’m leaving tonight and can’t use it since I don’t have anymore spicy pitface. Time to order! Just placed the Amazon order for the shelf and probe
