Maybe the welding on the side of my unit wasn’t done well. do you notice that the water pan help keep yhe meat moist? I’ve used it with...

    Wsm mold issue

    Thanks. I didn’t realize my cover was not waterproof. Will get new cover. I’ve always used kingsford or lump coal and have had issues with both. It’s happened even after a thorough cleaning of the smoker and used new bag or charcoal. Will see if i can figure the issue.

    Water pan With Traeger

    See the oil spot on bottom left? My ribs are not close to the left side that would cause the leak. Even if they were, the juice would roll towards the right side to the drip hole.

    FRIED GREEN TOMATO AND BACON PULLED PORK SLIDERS

    I may have had fried green tomatoes once many years ago. Is it just unriped tomatoes or a certain breed that is always green?

    Sam's Vs Costco meat question...

    For what its worth, here’s my opinion. Costco has better and more tender steaks. While both are choice, costco is better imho. Costco has more seafood variety and have the fresh kind. Sams have a small selection and most are frozen variety where i’m at. But sams sell while rack short ribs for...

    Water pan With Traeger

    Yes, i meant the drip tray. I saw a video of someones smoker caching fire and wondered if it was a good idea to do that. Looks like the foil would male things worst. I experienced the whole smoker getting really hit and smokey on my first smoke. For some reason 5 hours into my smoke the fire...

    Traeger

    Thanks for the responses. I tried no wrap at 225 for 5-7 hours twice, both times the meat was starting to dry out. I’m thinking about going lower and slower but figured i’d ask to see if anyone has tried 180-200 for 7-8 hours. Not sure if ribs would hit 190 at those temps or if the ribs would be...
