This was at the Duluth Georgia Costco not sure if they are on clearance everywhere. My buddy has this and really likes it looks like a deal. These were $599 originally.

    As you know there are a lot of pellet haters on here. I have a Traeger and like it. It doesn’t take the place of my eggs but definitely has it place.

    Great deal, 399.97 was already a clearance price (ending in .97).

    Those suckers burn a LOT of pellets. Buy them direct from Seth (pallets) at Lumberjack, and you can cut your grilling cost down to what an egg uses!

    I've got a buddy with one and he loves it. Had pork belly burnt ends and sausages of it and they were great, it's a good smokey oven. The capacity on that thing is unreal. It's not an airflow limited machine, so he needs lots of pellets to poop and a water pan.  That's a great price.

    I was tempted to run to Costco after @Lit posted this.   While I was debating I saw a Traeger at the end of someone's driveway with a "Free" sign on it.  I threw it in the truck, plugged it in and the electronics work but it wouldn't ignite.  Called Traeger, they asked for the serial # and said it was never registered so they gave me a 3 year warranty and are sending the replacement burner for free. 

    It's the 34" Pro Elite Series, so not a bad pick-up.  Don't know what I'll do with it, but a free $800 cooking device is never a bad thing.  I need to go buy a lottery ticket today... 
    Great find and initiative!

    You lucky Dawg!  The hot rod (burner) comes on for few minutes and goes off once the fire is established. You can manually light a small pile of pellets before power on, if you don’t want to wait. I assume the auger is turning.

    A free pellet pooper is worth every penny.

    Yes - auger turns just fine.  Funny how some people just throw stuff away when it's such a minor fix to get it going again.  This looks like it was used only a handful of times.  As @lousubcap says, "Better to be lucky than good!"    Very curious to see how the smoke profile compares to the BGE.

    I have had food from a pellet feeder. It was very good. It looks like a great deal. If you are in the market go for it.
