FYI.......
I purchased a Traeger Junior From Costco four months ago to introduce myself to pellet grilling. I had nothing but problems from the outset. First, huge temperature swings like 75-85*. Second, Blower motor quit causing a fire. It was replaced along with some warped parts. Third, Second fire cause undetermined by CS. Said they wood send a new control unit. I told them to forget it. I took it back to Costco and they gave me a refund, no questions asked. While there, Traeger reps were there with their road show. One of the grills they had was the Silverton, made exclusively for Costco. For $699 including an extra cast iron grate and full heavy duty cover, I couldn't resist. I got it home, did all the prep work and was off and running.
What a great grill. Did a pulled pork butt to monitor temp over a long period and was amazed at the minimal swings of temperature. I was tempted to buy an Ironwood, but since it was still a newer model, I decided to wait until the bugs were worked out. Also, buying through Costco, was a good choice, since returning the old unit was painless.....
