Why did you regret it esselle ??.............we have looked at them on eBay, but must admit we remain cautious as they dont appear to get a mention on this forum (not that I can see anyway) , and we would hate to be stuck with a Treagar-looky-likey that is made from cheap materials and ends up just being waste of money
The one I bought, as I said was smaller and not the same make, but it was cheap and cheaply manufactured. I could hardly fit anything on it and when I cooked on it smoke came from everywhere, not just the chimney as it should. Also being made of much thinner steel than I now know they should be, maintaining temps was a nightmare and fuel consuming. I sold it straight away, saved a few pennies up and kept a watch on ebay, and eventually a second hand cactus jack came along at the right money so I bought that, and I am more than happy with CJ. If it is Traeger you are swaying towards you will definately not be happy with the one you're looking at and I would talk to Toby as I am sure he did have some great offers a while back.
