I love having the hatch. It also has better ground clearance than all other wagons.

Roger that. You have dogs, too, right? Hatch provides better transportation option for animals.

Yeah, 3 dogs. It's a lot easier to drive with them in the back.

End of season on Sale for $1k. We bought a house earlier this year and a free family members gave of some money towards it as a house warming gift. Ended up spending around $700 out of pocket.

Either way it's a lot but it sucks my dick while I grill so it's worth it.

This is my next grill. Trying to justify it but really can't as long as my current propane model still works and I have an electric and wood smoker, too. This would replace all of them. My neighbor has a Traeger, one of the Texas Elite models and the thing puts out incredible food. I guess it's only money, right?

My family grills at least once a week. My old grill was $200 and lasted 5 years. It was a total rust bucket by the time we decided to get a new one. We wanted something bigger than what we had, and our justification was if we're going to be spending $500+ on a grill, lets get something bigger and that will last at least 10 years. I think it's a solid investment.

I have the Traeger Pro 34. It doesn't look quite as nice as that one, but its pretty awesome and simple to use. I've never had issues controlling at any temp.

Not really a huge splurge, but just got some last minute tickets to see Guns n Roses tonight. Also buying Foo Fighters tickets.

The make great products. The Timberline has wifi and you can control the temp from the Traeger app. I want this bad boy badly.

Yeah that’s pretty cool. Honestly though I’m not sure I’ve ever changed a temp during a smoke though?

So, I'm starting to regret the Outback purchase. The car itself is great. The head unit is a steaming pile of garbage, however.

Android Auto only works about half the time and it won't hold SiriusXM presets for more than a day before they stop working.
