    Greetings from Colorado!

    Welcome, you've come to the right place. I bought a Traeger about a year ago and I found that the Traeger pellets didn't seem to impart any flavour. I found a thread on here about that and purchased one the brands that were talked about and that did the trick. As I have been here in England...

    can i smoke ribs and finish in oven?

    Not sure about that. Finish the first pair in the oven and do the others all the way in ur Traeger. When the ones in the oven are done, wrap in foil, then in a towel and put in a cooler until the others r done. Otherwise, if u have time u could do one set a day or to ahead and reheat while ur...

    I want to buy my first smoker. Please help me figure out what to get

    I have two offset and a MES30. I bought the MES so I could keep smoking all winter long. Now the snow, wind and cold don't stop me at all. Something to think about. If it's windy I just put a soup can that I removed both ends so I have a little stack. I believe that helps. I do think I picked up...

    Help me!

    I agree, do not pre boil. Remember, it's low and SLOW. Don't think the the quarters will take but 1 1/2-2hrs:grilling_smilie:

    Lets talk sand vs water!

    I've had my MES30 over 3 years now with plenty of smokes and I have never had any thing close to this thing called "black rain" dripping on my food. :grilling_smilie:

    Big test this weekend for the BGE

    Thanks guys! Planning doing this over 3 days. No leaks around the gasket. Thanks "themule69". Also, I did adjust the vents but what u said made me think I need to be more aggressive. Probably easier to heat temps. up than cool down with one of these. I have the plate setter and thanks for...

    Big test this weekend for the BGE

    I'm in the UK right now and bought a BGE. I've got to do two pork butts, a brisket, 4 or 5 sets of ribs, and two chickens for a party on Monday. I did a trial run of ribs on Sunday. When I opened the ribs I got from the butcher I see that they like to take that slab of meat off the outside of...

    Using the smoker in cold weather

    I should have mentioned that I had to use a hair dryer to jump start mine a few times. Mine lives outside. If yours does you may have to do the same.

    Using the smoker in cold weather

    I used mine last winter in colder weather than that. The cold and wind was the reason I bought an electric smoker.

    Third belly

    I'd like to think so, mine came frozen. Also, I brined mine and then skinned it. Can skin it after smoking it also. Good luck with it. I don't think you'll eat store bought again. Happy smoking,    Big AL
