My guest this week is Elyse Goode. Elyse and her husband Chad are veterans of the U.S. military and also Traeger grill enthusiasts. When their three children were very young, Chad was deployed, and after a long day Elyse found a bit of peace grilling her meals with, as she says, "perhaps a glass of wine or two."

But why are Traeger owners so passionate about these grills?!

Traeger is not sponsoring this episode, but they might as well be, because both Elyse and I give the grill two thumbs up. (To be clear, that's four thumbs in total.) Listen in as we talk about grilling, family and a whole cooking community.
