I recently picked up a Traeger for free from my neighbors who are moving -- and I previously had thought there was no way they were worth their price point, but it is SO good. We also have a charcoal weber, which we like a lot, but only for the weekends because it just takes so dang long to get going. We were looking for a few replacement parts and realized you can pick up a Traeger pretty affordably through Facebook Marketplace (ones around our area were about $100-$200 in functional, used condition).
I don’t necessarily want to get into the health reasons for my going carnivore, but I will say I’ve benefitted greatly from it! And I plan to keep doing it for the foreseeable future, with the hope eventually of transitioning more keto long-term.
And my family eats carnivore-ish with me, as in they’ll have sides that I don’t have. Occasionally I’ll just make my own thing, but the nice thing about eating meat is that it’s pretty straightforward and simple.
And I do my best to move daily, even in Texas summers! Sometimes it means early mornings and/or just embracing the stickiness. It’s all good.
I know!! Total gift. Joseph cooked about twenty sausages on it last weekend and it was really quick (15 minutes maybe?)
I think the big difference was the fact that we could just plug the Traeger in and start it up instead of the long ordeal of heating up the charcoal for our Weber.
I've had both a Charbroil propane grill and a Weber charcoal grill for a long time, but the Charbroil is on its last legs. I'm actually debating a Blackstone vs regular propane grill for its replacement.

A free Traeger?! What a gift! My question about those: don’t they take a long time to get going, too?

Good $.02 with the grill — thank you!

My husband has a propane Weber grill that he got for Father’s Day in 2009 and still loves it and uses it all the time.
Good to know — thank you!

I’ve been reading up on Blackstones!
