Tonight’s dinner. Thanks for the assistance guys. Was a fun first smoke!

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...

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

Nope

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

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

When you say at 195 you mean ribs are at 195 right?

hey guys. I just got a new Traeger Pro 780. When starting it smokes enough that is comes out of EVERYWHERE. including back up through the pellet box! Is this normal upon inition of the grill?

this will be my very first smoke! I want to do some ribs with a fruity blend I have. I’ve read though that fruit blends tend to be light on the flavor. What type of rub would be good to go with that so it doesn’t overpower the fruity flavor? I’ve never cooked ribs before also. So any tips would...

The smell reminds me of burning plastic.

the smell reminds me of burning plastic actually.

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?

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...

Hey guys. Finally got my pellet grill. New to smoking from the pacific NW. Live in the Puget Sound area. Got Myself a Traeger Pro 780. One of the new D2 models. Look forward to asking tons of questions and my first jerky smoke next weekend!
