I have an FEC100 and bought another treager as the last one finaly died on me, a real work horse though so couldnt do without it.

Hey Toby,

Was I present when your Traeger passed away? I distinctly remember breaking out a first aid kit and fighting for its life at -4 one snowy night back in Dec 09.

I never realised that it was an untimely demise. I shall raise a glass to the Old Warrior.

I bought a landsman tennessee last year.

+ves:

• Cheap
  No need to extend stack - it's just about grate level.

-ves

• Thin metal
  On assembly there were big gaps between the firebox and the smoking chamber - a lot of silicon sealant was used closing them.
  Doors fit very loosely - again sealant
  grates are crap - burned away after a few smoking sessions.

I enjoyed what I produced on the Landsmann last summer - & learned a lot using it - but I'm making a UDS this summer & the Landsmann will be used for grilling only.
