    First tri tip attempt. Tips welcome

    Hi all, I’m from the uk and just got myself a traeger which I love. Excellent brisket and Boston butt so far. In the recipe book that came with it has a recipe for tri tip which is never heard of but my online butchers sell it, so I’m going to give it a go. The temp says to cook at 425 f for...

    Best way to smoke point end of brisket

    Hi, I thought I’d managed to explain to my butcher what I wanted (brisket with flat and point) but I think he’s given me just point end. Lost in translation I think. It’s about 7lbs and I have friends coming over for dinner at 4pm Saturday. Can I still cook in the same way I would a flat...

    Traeger Bronson 20 with rib rack?

    Hi all, I’m looking into getting a Traeger Bronson 20 which I think is the smallest Traeger there is. 300 square inches is plenty big enough as I have a 3 burner gas bbq as well and there’s only 3 of us. My question is whether the Traeger grilling area is high enough to get a rib rack in with...

    Need some advice, quickly if possible

    hi, I smoked my ribs and brisket today but had a bit of a disaster as it was windy and kept blowing the flame out on the gas bbq. In the end I gave up and put them in the oven. The ribs look good, just about to have them but I don’t have enough time to do anything with the brisket. I’ve wrapped...

    Help identifying meat!

    sorry, strange thread I know, but I’ve been reading so many American blogs cookbooks and forums that I naively turned up at my butchers today to get some ribs and brisket thinking I’d have a choice between babyback and St. Louis ribs, huge briskets I can take my pick off etc. However I forgot I...

    Gas smoker recommendations

    Hi all, New to the forum but hoping you can help me out. I live in the UK and recently upgraded my bbq to a spirit 320 which is brilliant but I used to have a cheaper bigger bbq and was able to smoke stuff on it using a box and chips. I think because the Weber is so much better insulated I...
