    Traeger Timberline vs Pro series

    I just upgraded to the Pro34 and love all the room and the digital controller is way less finicky than my original Lil Tex Elite. Will fit two rib racks (16 racks o ribs) or 160 chicken wings at one time. I'm perfectly happy with the size and performance of my pro.

    Ribs interrupted?

    Thanks all. We'll try finishing off low/slow in the smoker and see if we can save 'em. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "Hi my name is Eats, and I failed"

    Thanks everybody for the input. I did 2 fresh butts today 6.5 and 8.0 lbs all the same methods and rubs but went with 250 on the dial instead of 220 and they both climbed over 200 IT in just about 10 hours. As I went to grab them off grate so I could wrap and rest them, I could tell they were...

    "Hi my name is Eats, and I failed"

    it was a 6 pound butt from Costco where you get two boneless in one package. I cooked the first fresh and put the spare one in the freezer. (Usually I do both for a gathering but this time didn't have the need for 2 butts) Cooked on my Traeger set at 220 started at 8a and the probe hit 195 at...

    "Hi my name is Eats, and I failed"

    I need some group therapy. First time in 2 years of smoking I had a meal go in the trash last night. Did my 6th or 7th pork butt and followed all my usual steps; pulled off at 195, wrapped in foil and put in warming oven for an hour at 200. Got the Bear Paws out and it was like I was trying to...

    planked salmon!

    Storms, couple of questions for you: A). What type of salmon were you using and was it fresh or "store fresh"? B). I always cook by IT but can you give an idea as to overall cook time in the smoker? C). Can you describe your cedar planks? I've seen thick, thick, thick ones and then I've seen...

    Just got a Traeger - any words of wisdom?

    I've had my L'il Tex Elite for three months now. Wish I would have discovered it about 3 gas grills ago. One word of caution, in med to long smokes the auger pulls the pellets from the bottom ofthe pellet box. Because of the design of the box sometimes the pellets don't slide into the auger as...

    First crack at some pork tenderloin

    Took a bit of a hybrid approach on this today. One low and slow recipe called for 3 - 3 1/2 hours at 200 -225 another weeknight tenderloin recipe called for 40 mins at 375. I tried 75 minutes at smoke on my L'il Tex and then finished it off for 20 mins at 350. Turned out with a great smokey...

    Trevor's first Pork Butts - The future of BBQ

    Nice work Bill and Trevor. Question for you, how long from the time you "pulled" from the smoker and when you started "pulling" meat? Did you do the whole towel wrap/cooler procedure? The reason I ask is that I did a 7 pound boneless today and after 11 hours (last 3 tented in foil) when I...

    First Boston Roast

    Thanks everyone. It was definitely worth the "little" work that was required all day. Thanks for the heads up, Seen. Still learning my way around the smoker and the board.

    First Boston Roast

    There's so much info out there it's almost overwhelming.  So I'll just say thanks to the entire board as I probably picked and chose a little from each of you. My first Boston roast was absolutely delicious.  I used the 3-5-3 approach (3 hours fat down on the grill at 225, 5 hours in a pan...
