    That is true. I forgot about that.

    • I am planning on selling my Traeger setup before I move to TX so if anybody in UT is interested PM me.

        That's true, but there can be manufacturing residue/oil on the grates and parts of any smoker. I think it's worth it to crank the heat, burn that stuff off and put a nice smoky coat on the inside of any shiny new smoker, but I don't really have any experience with Traegers.

          Right, I was going to do it yesterday, but some stuff came up, so I am going to season it today and probably cook something this weekend.

            Why would you do that? I love having my old Traeger around as a backup smoker. It is perfect for many things.

              All smokers need to be seasoned. Unless you enjoy the flavor of burnt paint and oil in your food.

                Sounds like a good plan. I'd expect most people to sell their traeger before moving back to Texas. Probably lots of people in Utah that will want to buy it.

                  Just not worth hauling it across country. I have my UDS that I'll keep and can use for small cooks. Plus if I still have the Traeger after we get there the new smoker will be a tougher sell to the wife.

                    Sure, but if you plan to buy a gravity feed it seems like you would want to dump the UDS, no?

                    I am telling you. The more smokers you own the better!

                      UDS is great for camping so will keep it around just for that if nothing else.

                      • you dont want to have only a gravity feed. that thing is a monster that takes a long time to get to temp and requires way too much fuel if you are only going to cook one tip, for example. You can always buy one of those little weber things that moliere uses but i have always been under the impression that can afford something nicer than that.

                        • I found D-Tank's new setup...

                          World’s largest barbecue pit hails from Texas, cooks four tons of meat, and is for sale



                          Here’s something that could really up the game at your next tailgate: A couple from Brenham, Texas is selling what they say is the world’s largest barbecue pit.


                          The “Undisputable Cuz,” as it’s called, is a 76-foot smoker that can cook up to four tons of meat at one time. Now that’s a lotta beef.

                          It has 24 pit doors (12 on each side), seven smoke stacks, a walk-in cooler near the front, four beer taps and, of course, a giant Texas emblem bringing up the rear. The thing is so large that it requires a special permit and escort just to drive down the road, according to USA Today.

                          when are you coming to pick her up?

                            • Damn. If it were a gravity fed as big as the Empire State Building I would be all over that.

                                That would be annoying to have to go all the way to the observation deck to drop the coal into the chute, then all the way back down to the ground level to light it, then back up to close the chute after the coal gets going, then back down again.
