My first grill was a Texas Elite 34 which I love, the only fallback was that I would have to find recipes that were close to the same temparatures as the meat. This became a little cumbersome. I decided to by a Pro 780 black as the bronze was out of stock to accompany the Texas Elite so I can cook my meats at any temparature on the Pro 780 and time the rest of the meal including dessert on the Texas Elite. Who knows, there may be a third Traeger parked on my patio in the near future!!!
