    Bone in tourkey breasts

    Turkey meat was delicious and moist. Turkey skin and baked potato were not crispy enough. Next time, smoke for 2 hours then crank up heat.

    Bone in tourkey breasts

    Trying a couple breasts on new Traeger Pro 22. Not brined but injected with garlic/herb and rubbed with Cajun spices. Using apple pellets. 225 for 3 hours then crank heat or crispy skin and IT of 160. I also have some marinade left which I may spritz with.

    Pork butt on new pro 22

    Flavor was good. We use creole seasoning and brown sugar for rub. Texture was a little soft for me but wife said perfect for her.

    Pork butt on new pro 22

    Trying first long smoke on new 22. Outside temp around freezing , smoker temp is holding well around 225. After 9.5 hours, internal is 175 and 173 with 2 probes, IBBQ 4T. Dusted some more seasoning and spritzed with apple juice. Will pull at 200, wrap in foil, towel and drop in cooler for 2 hours.

    Everyone loves meatloaf

    Today's run on Traeger 22 was meatloaf, tater and beans. Receipe called for cooking at 375 for 2 hours. Do not get a lot of smoke at high Temps but I can smell and taste on food so it's a win.

    1st cook. Internal temp 130 with standard Traeger probe. Most of it looks perfect, some are rare. I will get a better probe. Pretty good sear as well.

    No, I haven't done exact testing for Temps. It's first run / burn in, using the Traeger built in probe. I would like to get 2 meat probes, 1 smoker temp probe. Maybe with phone app so I can sit inside to monitor. Any suggestions ?

    I have a 9mb video of smoke but forgot what extensions are accepted, it's an mp4.

    3 hours at 225. Temp fluctuates between 240 and 210. Outside temp is 80f with 15mph winds. I am very happy with that. Thin blue smoke, very similar to my old analog MES 30. I would say about a quart of pellets used including the hour burn in. I believe the Traeger will be a winner. Steak test...

    Burn in complete. Still got pellets. hopper so dropped it down to 225. That is where I do pork butts. I want to see how steady it keeps Temps and how much smoke.

    I have a tomahawk steak for tomorrow but 1st smoke will be pork butt. I need to get a little used to it. Had MES 30 fo years but this is not quite the same 😁
