I went over to Riverside last week to enquire more about the Traegers. I was told they are due into the shop in late April. I'm hoping they have an event to launch them (although how you demo low n slow as an event I don't know).
On paper the Traegers look very good and a bit more sturdy than the GMG. They are obviously aimed at the same market. Slightly off topic but I called American BBQ about the GMGs and they said GMG no longer offer a 'non-WiFi' model, making them quite expensive at £699 for the DB. The Traeger equivalent is £100 cheaper.
I'll keep an eye on Riverside. I was a little disappointed they've gone totally Weber. Didn't they used to sell Big K charcoal and few other non-Weber bits a couple of years back?
