i have a traeger junior. The grill surface is large enough to accomodate 30 chicken wings, big ones. The temperature is controled by clicks. The firse click to the right is the smoker setting using which you can smoke without heating your food. I generally smoke chicken for about two hours before grilling it. Remember to keep the pellet container full. After perhaps four uses, maybe 5, it will be time to clean the smoker. In addition to cleaning the grill surface, the lower shelf over which we put foil, you have to remove the part which covers the fire hole and use a shop vac to clean out the ash. It works and, for me, it is the best way to cook outside.

Some of them have buttons for the temperature. The problem with these is that it is a bit harder to know what temperature you are at. For example, when I plug mine in it starts at 600dg. Then once you are ready to turn the temp down, you keep pressing the button. It goes in 5dg increments. Others use a knob which clicks when you turn it. These are easier for a blind person to use because you can more easily set It with no visual help. If you buy one of these make sure their is enough temperature choices. Treger makes these.
