Thoughts!?
I use a Kamodo style bbq myself. Quite a lot of fun, but there is some effort to learn how to adjust the vents to get the temperature results that you want. You can cook very low temperatures on them, and also very hot, up to 600+ Farenheit which is awesome for searing meats, and doing pizzas, calzones. They are pretty efficient in terms of charcoal usage too, and you can notice the difference cooking with charcoal makes.
Never used a Traeger pellet grill myself but I've heard a lot of great things about them. They are supposed to be easy to use and maintain the temperature with little to no effort. But they can't quite hit the high temperatures you can reach with a kamodo.
Maybe take a read over this article: http://www.firecraft.com/article/tra...-big-green-egg
Both are great options, it depends on the experience you want and the pros and cons of each style of bbq.
