I didn’t get the clamps, just the lava lock adhesive and the rope material itself. Didn’t make any holes. this is what I ordered

I have one and enjoy it.

I live in central Texas so doesn't get too terribly cold, outliers aside. A few notes:

  • Bought Lavalock and it seems to help a bit to keep the smoke in
    • I put it on the lid as opposed to the body so it wouldn't interfere with cleaning
  • Don't try to grill or sear
    • The Costco reps will go on and on about using it for everything and as much as I like the Traeger it is no good at high temperatures
    • I keep mine pretty darn clean but even just cooking a couple of steaks will result in enough grease to get a flare up
    • I kept my cheapo Char-Broil propane grill for searing, grilling, etc
    • It'll eat up pellets crazy fast and won't maintain a temp at 500F anyhow, so it is just inefficient as hell
  • Biggest drawback: The temperature probes are off
    • I bought a WiFi Inkbird 4 probe thermometer to account for this, but I am kinda miffed that I spent ~$700 on a grill that doesn't have a well functioning thermocouple
    • I clip an Inkbird probe on the far left and far right (next to the Traeger probe) to monitor the temperature
    • I gotta go ~20F higher on the Traeger to get to my target temperature
    • I've been meaning to call Traeger to see about swapping out the thermocouple or controller as this seems like an unusually large variance, so this could be a bit of my problem but it seems like others have a variance of ~10F
  • WiFi = 100% Worth It!
    • I've done several overnight cooks (brisket and pork butt/shoulder)
    • It's great to set it up at night, and then being able to sporadically check it if you wake up or stay up late
    • Ditto in the morning, I don't feel the need to rush outside to check the grill and can have a leisure morning
    • It seems that Traeger is made to be a bit of "smoking made easy" otherwise you would be a traditional offset smoker. Therefore, if you want to take it a bit easy the WiFi is just another tool that brings it all together.
    • I can be on the couch and check my non-Traeger probes via an app. Change the Traeger settings as needed via my app, and maintain my deep couch sitting needs.
