This one is interesting. For many years, grilling, smoking, etc. did not draw my attention due to my Alpha Gal issue. I just haven't eaten meat in a long time. HOWEVER, I just got back the results from my updated Alpha Gal test. Now on venison, lamb, and pork, I tested negative. Beef still registered on the lowest level of sensitivity that can still be classed a positive reaction. This means that this and the Recipe thread are once again relative to me. I have sampled a little pork so far with no problem. Things are looking up.
Currently, I have an old no-name grill, but I am developing interest in the Traeger. I have a couple of friends who really like theirs. Are there any drawbacks to this item? I guess I need to order up some of the seasonings being discussed in another thread.
