Hey all,
First off, this is not a "Weber is king and all other smokers/grills suck" thread.
I had the privilege the other day to BBQ some baby backs on my friends brand new Treager (he wasn't home and someone had to cook). That bad boy is sweet! Dial in the temp and forget about it. Ribs were tender and juicy. Great flavor.
All that being said, having used my WSM for the last year (which I just adore) I did not get the same feel good satisfaction of cooking the meat with the Treager. Something about getting that temp to where I want and then holding it there all night long (on some occasions) that gives you that BBQ pit master feeling. Just feels like slightly more skill is involved using the WSM.
What are your guys opinions? Feel the same or am I just a conceded weber aficionado?
Have a good one and thanks for all the great advice!
