No doubt their isn't any question about kk being the best KKooker on the planet but everything in context and with a smile. Lets see I bought a posk7 with all the trimmings + a guru (the last bbq I'll ever buy. They have a lifetime warranty you know, ceramic and all that.) for around $2200. I can't wait until I haul my posk down the canyon and dump it because that means my new OTB is forthcoming. Really not to make any kind of statement but by then I will have spent over 5 grand maybe close to 6, on ceramics. And they are wonderful kkookers, I do so willingly. But I also know that many who spend $600 or so on a Traeger will think I'm nutters. Crikey I think I'm nutters. Is their rehab for BBQ? Cheers Larry

I bought a Traeger last year when we became empty nesters. I wanted something like a posk3 to go along with my posk7. We chose the Traeger because it would be easier for my wife to use just turn the knob. And I discovered the KFForum. It's okay for chicken and ribs. Did a turkey and a lo and slo butt. Everythink was fine except steaks and burgers. Unless temps are in the 90-100+ range you can't get it to 450 degrees which is about max. We enjoy T Rex style med rare steaks and they are very dificult for me on the Traeger. I'll keep it but the temps vary wildly with the seasons. Winter on smoke is about 90 degrees. Summer 200-220. Bottom line. I'm still saving for whatever latest and greatest OTB edition Dennis has available when I've saved enough.

I have only recently been exposed to the light so here I am. I recognize many of the names from another forum that I used to frequent. I own a winery/wheat ranch, a Traeger and a posk7. Look for the posk7 on craigs list this summer so I can join the KKlub. Mine will be a GENII Ultimate, gloss black with dark mortar.
