I did a ton of research and asked a few friends who do competition stuff. They said Traeger has gone down in quality in recent years and its all about marketing with them. They all suggest green mountain grills. Built in the USA, more features than Traeger, and cheaper in price. 

I bought a gmg a couple years ago. The guy recommending it said it was designed by a former trager engineer, so it was like a traeger for much cheaper.

I dug it but a few months ago it started giving me issues and wouldn't heat up. I didn't feel like going through the hassle of getting it fixed, so I'm back to my Old Smokey electric smoker and a charcoal grill. I liked the pellet as it was a bridge between the two, but nothing beats am Old Smokey for doing small cooks.
