    q view of my first traeger smoke (brisket)

    I try to bring stuff in, I owe them food for getting checked out on a position last week- it's "tradition" and in my opinion that beats the hell out of pizza!

    q view of my first traeger smoke (brisket)

    maybe I'll cheat and just mix in some BBQ sauce and heat it up so it's ready for sandwiches, I sure hate to do that

    q view of my first traeger smoke (brisket)

    I had some, not a ton though. I poured those in, I'll try a little broth.

    q view of my first traeger smoke (brisket)

    yeah, usually I do, but I guessed wrong and after I ate dinner I pulled it all to take to work on friday. Better have some happy coworkers! Reminds me, I'm going to reheat it in a crockpot, anyone use a finishing sauce like on pork? Or should I heat up a little broth and mix in some rub to...

    q view of my first traeger smoke (brisket)

    Sorry should have been clearer, not my first brisket, just the first one on a new smoker. Previously ran an electric MES and as much as I hate to admit it never got results as good as this, a little tweaking and it'll be right on the money.

    q view of my first traeger smoke (brisket)

    I rubbed the brisket and left it for 8 hours, then started the smoker at about 9pm and let it run overnight on smoke, runs about 180F on mine after smoking all night then I set it to 225 and let it go to about 170, foiled it and smoked to 200, a little higher than I normally go because I...

    had to say goodbye to my MES

    I didn't take any pics of the traeger, sorry. it's a bit different to cook on, still learning but I'm doing a whole brisket overnight so we'll see. My MES never let me down, never ruined anything and always worked perfect though. I'll probably regret selling it!

    had to say goodbye to my MES

    served me well for 2 years or better, but I needed a new BBQ so I picked up a traeger pellet grill. Hopefully I can get the same results as my MES. They've sure come down in price, they were going for about 189 new it looks like, so I sold mine for $100

    Nesco Jerky Works (Jerky Gun) Tutorial w/gun-view

    I have the same nesco gun in the first post that came with a dehydrator, I bought a bigger one at sportsmens warehouse that works the same but holds about a lb of ground meat, less reloading!

    Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans"

    I make these all the time and don't think I ever stopped in to say thanks. I like to smoke them a little longer so they're sort of "sticky" and I back the brown sugar off to about 1/2-3/4C and leave out the hot stuff, thanks for a quick tasty recipe!

    not getting enough smoke flavor out of my MES

    Yeah, maybe I was not adding them often enough. It's been a but warmer than the last few times I ran it. I put one lump of charcoal in the pan to try and produce a smoke ring, all I had on hand was match light charcoal and I swear I could taste the match light chemicals in the meat.

    not getting enough smoke flavor out of my MES

    I did some ribs last weekend and they were cooked perfectly, but I'm just not getting enough smoke flavor out of the MES for some reason. I'm using mesquite chips, I'm loading the hopper up every hour or so. Do you think it could just be some bad wood? It seemed like it was great the first few...

    finally found a whole brisket- when should I start it?

    Doesn't matter. Stating the fact that you can not always simply add more wood.

    finally found a whole brisket- when should I start it?

    I had smoke rolling out of this thing for 7 hours, I couldn't put more wood in if I tried.

    finally found a whole brisket- when should I start it?

    we had a GREAT BBQ joint and they went out of business. I could get a pound of perfect sliced brisket for about $14.

    finally found a whole brisket- when should I start it?

    hit a little plateau around 185, back down to about 180 and I let it get back to 185 and pulled it. I should have pulled it sooner, I'd like it a little less tender for slicing but it the skinny end is perfect for pulling. Moist and melt in your mouth tender, but not enough smoke flavor. It...

    184.......

    finally found a whole brisket- when should I start it?

    I think that's what most people do. I do anyway. Lot easier to watch the temp in the warm lit house than the dark patio, and it's had 7 or so hours of smoke so that should be way more than enough.
