Hi all,
Just found this forum this morning. What a TON of information!! We are in Spokane, WA. Brand new to smoking, have done a lot of grilling in the past, but just bought a Traeger JR yesterday after talking for a few hours with an old friend that uses his ragged.
Have a lot to learn, ordered the book "Charcuterie" from Amazon per his recommendation too, should be here tomorrow. Today we started with a pork butt for pulled pork, using apple pellets and spritzing with apple juice. Have a couple racks of Costco pre-rubbed St. Louis Style Ribs in the fridge waiting for adventure #2.
Thanks to all for sharing so much information for newbies. I have a lot of reading to do, really looking forward to this new hobby. Sun is shining, pool is sparkling, smoker smells wonderful and Olympics is on ... perfect summer day.
