Few thing in life come to us "As Advertised", but the Traeger Pro 780 is one of those great products. I use it at least once a week and I have never had a flare up. You really can set it and forget it! I put whole chickens on the grill and go mow the lawn, or run to the store during a long cook. The Wire Fire App leaves me in control even when I am across town, and keeps me updated on all aspects of the cook. The meat probe allows me to monitor the meat so I never have over cooked, or under cooked meat. The Traeger App has recipes with accurate prep times, and cook times, so you can plan your meal to come off when you told your guests that it would be ready. Cook with confidence and enjoy BETTER than restaurant quality food!
