    Traeger 2019 Pro line smoke setting

    I will! Can’t WAIT! Some SPOG rubbed ribs Saturday and then Sunday some jerky! Speaking of that actually one final question. I see some brine their ribs and some don’t. Is it really necessary? I brine/marinade most of my meat but I won’t have the time to do it for the ribs. Have to say, it was a...

    Traeger 2019 Pro line smoke setting

    Set the temp and then press the ignite button. Lowest temp is either 160 or 180.

    Traeger 2019 Pro line smoke setting

    So how do I translate the smoke setting to the new models? The New Pro line has no smoke setting.

    First time ribs

    Am I overthinking this or do I need a needle temp probe for ribs and not my Traeger temp probe?

    Machine oil burn off

    As much as I think it’s it plastic like I could be wrong. I have never smelt burning machine oil before. Lol. And there was a LOT of the stuff! My kids could have made fingerpaintings on the thing! I think I might wash it with soap and water then put the tray back in and see what happens.

    Machine oil burn off

    Won’t I just be covering the remaining machine oil? Won’t it have to burn off the veggie oil before it gets to the remainder of the machine oil? Maybe a stupid question, but I’ve never conditioned a grill. Your saying just spray the grates or the whole interior?

    Machine oil burn off

    hello! Just got my Traeger Pro 780. Question about burning off the machine oiL. After about an hour it still smelt funny. Does that happen when it burns hot enough or is it still the machine oil? I did the usual “seasoning” steps. 30 minute at 350 then 30 at 450. Still smelt after all...
