    Temp reading different between ortech and analog gauges?

    Hmmm, based on that I'm going to assume my ortech is correct. I wonder if they calibrate their system before shipping... Thanks for the info!

    Temp reading different between ortech and analog gauges?

    So, I bought the ortech controller for my traeger Jr. Love the thing, far greater control and much lesser temp swing. However, I'm not sure what temp I'm really at. The analog temp gauge on the Jr shows about 30 degrees lower than the ortech gauge. Is this normal? Which one is right? How do I...

    Tips for spare ribs in a traeger?

    Well I smoked the ribs, it was a little cold outside so I had to run it on medium which pot me about 220-230°. It turned out fantastic!

I have some recipes but they only smoke for about an hour then medium for an hour, I want a longer smoke to get more wood flavor into them as one hour...

    Tips for spare ribs in a traeger?

    Planning on smoking some ribs in my traeger. I'm new to smoking so in just getting my feet wet. My traeger only has three settings, so it smokes at 180 degrees. How long should I be smoking spare ribs for? Any suggestions or tips would be helpful! Thanks, Claws

    jumping into the smoke

    Thanks for the tip Richard, I will have to do that! I'm planning on smoking some pork spare ribs this week, would like to run low temp smoke, any tips? My traeger doesn't have the temp dual, just smoke (runs at 180), medium (about 300), and high (about 450). Any tips would help!

    jumping into the smoke

    So I got me a traeger Jr from Costco. Have used it a few times, makes fantastic food and I don't seem to have any problems like others. I've made a few delicious things, however my smoking knowledge is weak. Drastically over cooked some steaks tonight. I guess I'm looking for a few pointers. I...
