Weber Smokey Mountain VS. Traeger Mini Rib Cookoff
I put the Weber smokey mountain smoker against the Traeger Mini smoker in a rib cook off. They both helped me produce excellent ribs. I really enjoyed cooking on both of them.
Below are my thoughts on how the WSM and Traeger did against each other.

Here is how the Weber Smokey Mountain (WSM) and the Traeger Mini Compared to each other:

Ease of startup: Traeger Mini
Time it takes to get coking: Traeger Mini
Temp Control: Tie with a slight edge to the Traeger
Cost of operation: Weber Smokey Mountain
Clean Up: Traeger Mini
Smoke Flavor: Slight edge to the Weber Smokey Mountain
Capacity: Weber Smokey Mountain
Off Site Cooking: Tie (Cleanup is harder with WSM, but an outlet may not be available for the Traeger
Bang for buck: Weber Smokey Mountain
Dependability/endurance: Weber Smokey Mountain
Art of BBQing: Weber smokey mountain
