Blackstone or Sam's Club version of the Blackstone

Must have if you use it regularly, so you're not constantly swapping out the grease trays...

Let me ask this question too. So I also have a basic Traeger, which I love. I use the grill plenty for normal cooking. If I'm feeling lazy like I don't wanna go outside and wait for it to get rolling or whatever, I'll use the kitchen stove top. Since it's basically an outdoor kitchen stove top, is it worth the money if I use my Treager plenty already? Or is it basically the Treager grill without the smoking part, so it's essentially spending money to do the same thing I already do? In which case, I think I can justify that. My only slight complaint of my Treager, is sometimes there is just simply not enough space to put everything on at the same time, to which I then feel like the Blackstone would work perfectly, and obviously much better than normal kitchen stove.

It sounds like you use your Traeger as a grill and as a smoker? I have a Traeger and I solely use it as a smoker. The Blackstone is definitely a different cooking experience than a grill.

We use it a ton for things like Stir Fry, Beef and Chicken Philly's, Burgers (something about them cooking in their own juice makes them taste better), and of course breakfast stuff. Those are all things you couldn't do on a Traeger or on a grill.

Yeah so I use the Treager both as a Smoker and a Grill. That's why I'm wanting to discuss if it's worth the purchase. I'm completely fine with the Traeger as a grill, I use it quite a bit. But on nights I'm lazy or maybe weekends mornings where I want to get creative, it sounds like a better option than the normal kitchen stove. Plus, can't fit all that shit on the stove. I do all my meat prep on the weekends, and my Traeger does fine, but if I have the option, maybe would want a different taste for that week. Is it then worth the money if I already use my Treager for the grill part a lot and am good with it?
