Double Smoked Hams---Times 4 (Step by Step)
I use Cherry Coke to marinate duck breasts before smoking. Cherry Coke, cherry jam, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, HP sauce and balsamic vinegar. Cover duck breasts and leave overnight in the fridge.- captain bandana

WHICH SMOKER TO PURCHASE FOR FATHER IN LAW
Maybe because he already has a gas BBQ, a straight smoker might be the way to go. I have a Traeger 075 with the optional cold smoker accessory and absolutely love it. There are some pretty good deals on their website this Black Friday Weekend and I'm sure they will be repeated before Christmas...- captain bandana

Pork shoulder HOT
Some great information here. I just hope that Noboundaries post means that we need a degree in chemical engineering to be really successful at this smoking game. Having said that, I can't believe how well some of my efforts have turned out using just blind luck and common sense.- captain bandana

Good to see you here, Bubba. Good luck with your smoking endeavors! The comments above have got you started in the right direction in your selection.

First try at brisket desperately need help!!
Ufert, I have better luck with pork butts - generally larger pieces of meat and less expensive. I did two 8-lb butts last week on my Traeger and they were brilliant.- captain bandana

Scored a Traeger BBQ075 cheap
One thing about a Traeger Grill that I have experienced is that when you put the control on 'smoke' it will smoke. But, that may not be an indication that the auger is actually feeding pellets into the burner. When you are considering a used unit, please be sure to run the unit long enough to...- captain bandana

First butt smoke comming up , 275 degrees , how much time ?
It should never be about TIME, it should be about TEMPERATURE! After the meat reaches the proper temperature, it can be kept warm for several hours wrapped in a heavy towel and put in a cooler.- captain bandana

Scored a Traeger BBQ075 cheap
No fooling, Red. I can't say enough about the great folks I have met in the Customer Service Department at Traeger - especially the guys that talked me through the auger freeze-up problem I had when I bought my used (older) 075 unit. They directed me to a great video on the web that walked me...- captain bandana

Scored a Traeger BBQ075 cheap
Hey Brian - nice purchase, congratulations. Does your 075 have the rectangular pellet hopper or the older round one? If it is round, then it won't need the drip bucket. Also, be careful if you buy the lower shelf and the folding front shelf because they won't fit. The problem is that the legs...- captain bandana

New Pellet Smoker!!!!
What are you using for a meat thermometer and interior thermometer? The analog thermometer on my Traeger Texas registers at least 30 degrees high when compared to the digital setting thermometer on the pellet hopper or my Maverick ET 732.- captain bandana

cheese temp
On warm days, I take the cheese out of the refrigerator and onto my Traeger. On cool days, it's probably not so important to have the cheese chilled.- captain bandana
