So I used my traegar for almost 3 years but got tired of the auger jamming and just couldn’t get that natural wood fire taste in the meat. I wanted an offset but didn’t want to spend a fortune on what I wanted so I decided to gut my traegar and convert it into an offset since I know how to weld and fabricate and couldn’t be happier. Now for the welders and fabricators in here, yes I could have made things looked better but this was just a small project for me I plan to build a 250 or 500 gallon smoker in the future so I wasn’t trying to win any beauty competitions with this project. I mig welded everything. For anyone curious I originally picked this traegar up for $300 and it was damn near mint condition. I probably have about $500 into all the material I bought. The only thing I haven’t done is lowered the racks down about 1 1/2” so they sit centered to the exhaust outlet. And I have material to make a better hinge set for the door/hood because the traegar ones are cheap and are only screwed in. Just wanted to share this because I know there is a rivalry with pellet and offsets and thought some might enjoy it.

The only traeger in existence that is actually a smoker.
Wow great job. Amazing work bro
At the beggining I was like “That poor Traeger” then by the end I was like “HELL YEAH BROTHER”
That’s the best looking Traeger I’ve ever seen! Guaranteed it puts out better bbq than the rest too.
PS. I need your metal fab skills. Currently my “smoke collector” for my OKJoe is literally a household register boot.
That’s dope. Nice job!
Incredible!
Unreal so cool
This really dope
This is dope. Reminds me of this dude that converted his Tesla into a gas burning engine.
Super dope! 🤙🏻
Fuggin excellent
Badass! You went from glorified pellet oven, to something a real pit Master would use! A REAL smoker! Congratulations! No more adult pretend time for you!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Well done! Looks awesome
I wonder how well it’ll run being thinner metal.
But then again, I don’t really GAF…this thing is so clean. Very nice job, OP 👏👏
Crazy franken traegriller
Sweet job, that is awesome!
This needs to go on the Treagar page. This is awesome!
Love the KTM
On this episode of why can’t I be this talented
All that work just to have a shit firebox that’ll rust out in a year or two smh
If you have the skills and materials, why do it on something so thin?
