Traeger Texas PRO Pellet Smoker Review
The Texas PRO is a large model in Traeger's line of residential pellet smokers. Although it has an upgraded digital controller, it is still an older style notched dial control like those made by Ortech. Not as good as a touch pad, but not bad. We give this one our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Coyote CCX2-LP “Grill in a Box” Review
Cosmetic flaws might have been forgiven if performance shined as brightly as Coyote's stainless hood. Unfortunately this grill has a remarkably uneven heat pattern, forcing one to constantly flip flop foods from the hot zones directly above the burners to various less-hot zones everywhere else.
