This smoker and controller is the sh*$!!!!! I dont have pics cuz my mom said she was coming over before work so i said ill have it all ready for her when she gets here. But man oh man this isnt like the brisket i smoked in my MES 30, i dont know if its the minimal salt and pepper, the pellets of wood, the grill, or the costco prime but this is on another level of cooking ive never experienced. I can see the appeal of the Franklin method but i will say that a rub would be quite a bit better and give the top layer a lot more depth. My mom decided that she wanted to take the brisket home so her and my step dad could enjoy it, so that is the reason i have no pics lol. I mean she did actually buy the traeger, i just bought the pellet pro PID, i cant complain.

I am a fan of food off of my Traeger. If I was forced to only have one smoker, a pellet smoker would be the one. I have learned to get a more robust smoke profile in my meat and the overall flavor is great and the convenience is as good as it gets.
