Bought mine on a $450 deal from Ace Hardware Thanksgiving of '24, free assembly, delivery, cover, and a 40lb bag of pellets. Liked the deal, but the Traeger, not so much. After using a year and a half, have made some good stuff on it...couple of briskets, ribs, pork butt, ribeye roasts, jalapeno poppers, etc. Things turn out good enough, but this thing is a hassle to baby while cooking low and slow overnight. Out of 9-10 overnight cooks, only two have been successful. Thankfully the Meater probe has saved me and my expensive meat by letting me know when the pellets stopped and at peak temperatures so I could restart and continue either after fixing the Traeger issue, or finishing in the kitchen oven. Most times the Traeger fails, it's because the pellet hopper creates a pellet funnel where a middle "cone" empties out of the hopper but no more pellets are pulled by gravity into the auger. Without pellets, the heat stops. So I wake up in the morning to no smoke, a cold Traeger, and to open the hopper to see over half the pellets remain but a empty hollow cone shape in the middle of the pellets. A simple tap on the side knocks the remaining pellets into the auger, but when you cook overnight, what can you do? Thing is a pain to clear out ashes too, and it makes a lot of messy, fine-soot ashes. The whole experience isn't as "premium" as an expensive Traeger would make you think using a pellet grill would be. In fact, this thing is as bare bones of a smoker as you can get...no shelves, no convenience features, storage or anything as other brands have, and don't even get me started on how thin the walls of this thing is. It retains very little heat, so good luck cooking anything in the late-fall and winter. I'll never buy another Traeger.

The Pro 34 is a roomy, easy-to-use pellet smoker that works well for burgers, chicken, ribs, brisket, and other low-and-slow cooks, with the extra cooking space over the Pro 22 standing out. Regular cleaning and good pellets help it run smoothly, and some owners have used it for years with overnight cooks and no major issues. The main knocks are pellet feeding hiccups, temperature swings at 225 degrees, messy ash cleanup, and thin heat retention in cold weather. It feels like a capable entry-level smoker, especially if you want more real estate without stepping up to a pricier model.

  • Weekend pitmasters cooking occasional briskets and pork shoulders, because it is easy to use and handles overnight cooks without constant fire management.

    coldblooded79st83jMrSlippers

  • Families needing extra grate space for larger batches, because the Pro 34 offers more cooking volume than the smaller model.

    coldblooded79DublF

  • Beginners wanting a straightforward pellet smoker, because it is simple to run and works well with regular cleaning.

    st83jbonesawed

  • Casual cooks who smoke a few times a year, because it feels like a decent value at that usage level.

    keithinphx

  • Serious weekly low-and-slow smokers, because it needs babysitting and has failed repeatedly on overnight cooks.

    hellspicekeithinphxNikoB

  • Outdoor cooks who want a rugged, set-and-forget pellet grill, because the thin walls, temperature swings, and control issues can make it unreliable.

    hellspiceDeal-R-Dashtaehantaehan

  • People planning long overnight smokes in cold weather, because it can lose heat and go out on 225°F.

    hellspicemoshopper55

  • Buyers who need dependable fire safety, because the inside can catch fire and the unit may stop working after about a year.

My wife bought me this smoker last year for Father's Day. Love it! Couldn't be easier to use. So glad we got the pro 34 vs the pro 22 for the larger cook volume. I run Pit Boss pellets in mine, and they have worked flawlessly.

I've heard similar things from a couple people. Always had a weird feeling about their grills honestly.

Treager is just china junk anymore. Buy something you can actually get parts and customer service for.

I suppose there's always those few outliers but I haven't experienced (knock on wood) any issues with mine. In fact, I bought mine specifically because of people's testimonials about being owning for a decade or two.
Of course, I'll bet those earlier models were made here vs today's made in china stuff.

Are you cooking on 225? Cook on 250 instead. This model is notorious for going out on 225

If you have a Sam's membership, I'd really recommend this one over the Traeger. I'm pretty active in the pellet grill forum on Reddit and folks really seem to like this one (and the Traegers seem to have a decent amount of issues according to folks). Plus it comes with a chamber to add some additional smoke, something pellet grills struggle with, and an induction burner on the side, all for fifty bucks more.

Fyi, if this price doesnt hit your threshold and you arent in a rush.. Wally world frequently clearences out pit boss models at the end of the year for dirt cheap. I've been very happy with my pit boss xl from there. If you need one now though.. this is a good deal
