It's ok
I have had this grill for a number of years and I can only say it's ok. Temperature control is spotty, at best and uneven. And the metal hinges on the lids broke within 18 months. A hot lid came off in my hands suddenly when I opened it and almost burned me. I was able to patch it back together but it's loose now and a little scary.

Love the Tailgater!
I don't recall when I bought this, but it makes the best smoked food we've ever had!

Tailgater is excellent for my smoking needs.
I love my Tailgater. I have cooked many of items on it since purchasing about 4 years ago. The only thing I would change is I wish Traeger would create an owners manual specifically for the Tailgater with the digital control, as I get pretty tired of needing to Google how to use the controller to check the probe temp. I guess I don't have a great memory because I keep forgetting how to check it. Anyway, this thing is a game changer for smoking and grilling. I also wish it had a door to dump the hopper so it would be easier to change pellets. Lastly I would like to add; I never have issues with temperature fluctuation, shut off, or error codes. I also clean out the pellet stove with a shop vac before every smoke.

Going to upgrade once this one dies
I have had a tailgater for 5 years from the kids on my 60th. We hardly ever use the oven any more and the grills were send to the dumpster. Mine has no temp probe but cooks everything perfect if I temp it. It has so many hours of use the paints bubbling on top and the grease tray is warped, but still works.

Killer Little Grill!
Killer grill. I use it for full-time home use and I almost never fire up my propane grill now. Been going strong for 2 years. Lives outside full-time in the weather, and still looks great. No issues. It doesn't get hot enough to quick sear, but something about how it heats it still doesn't "bake" burgers or steaks. They always come out perfect, even when I get distracted. Grill surface doesn't heat even, but I like having different zones for different things, just like on a gas grill. Perfect for me. Going to take this to my summer house and upgrade to an Ironwood for my winter place. Full convert.

Poor design, won't maintain any temp.
This grill is an absolute disappointment! It cannot maintain the temp that you set it to. It cant even sit in a temp range of 225°f without jumping up to 270°f. And will not hold a temp lower than 200° f. I do not recommend getting this model it is absolute garbage... I've followed the manual step by step several times and still fails to sit in a close range of temp that you set it to. This grill is a poor design and wish treager would make an AFFORDABLE model that actually WORKS like it's supposed to.

Easy to get great results
Kids gave this to us to use with our camper. So easy to get good results that it is getting more use at home than my other, and very good, charcoal and gas grills. My only concern is that I might forget my hard won skills at charcoal grilling!
