    Frozen Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

    I know this is an old thread but this is something I do ALL THE TIME with my Traeger and with excellent results.  Sure, starting with fresh chicken and going forward is 5 times easier, takes less time, and tastes better.  But using your Traeger on those frozen breasts from Costco is the ONLY way...

    On a Mission: To bring Texas barbecue with me to Utah!

    Hey Dutch, as a follow up I guess I'll need to line up for the "burnt ends" because last night, Pat's just wasn't "it."  My wife and I took the family down there for some brisket, pulled pork, and to try out that smoked meat loaf that Pat's offers and we were just not impressed. The search...

    On a Mission: To bring Texas barbecue with me to Utah!

    Thank you Dutch (and Bear) - yes, she gave me the nod and said they were very, very close.  My only complaint was that the underside had gotten a bit too charred because I haven't modified my smoker yet.  So whenever flareups happened or the temp got too hot on the right side, it was burning the...

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro with firebox- Mods

    If you think you might want to pick one of these up and haven't, keep your eyes open for sales.  My wife spied one of these for sale at a local clearance place - and for some reason, they were selling this PRE-ASSEMBLED for $99!  Some folks say it's a good little smoker for $200 - I say it's the...

    Jumped right in with the horizontal smoker - Question about temp regulatin'

    So I started off with some pork spare ribs and a pork shoulder (pulled pork) and WOW.  The results were pretty darned good: The ribs and shoulder came out great - I used the three hour smoke on the shoulder (to 150 degrees) and transferred to the oven to continue to about 204 degrees.  The...

    On a Mission: To bring Texas barbecue with me to Utah!

    So this whole thing started with a trip to a "Cowpoke Barbecue" place that's been in business here for quite a while.  My wife ordered the ribs and her comment was, "not even close."   So if I can get a batch of ribs to pass her test then I think we'll have a winner.

    smoking a brisket a day early

    On the whole "healthy" kick - if you're eating brisket or ribs, you're not exactly eating a heart-healthy meal.  And on the rack method, I'd be sore tempted to use the drippings to either make some killer gravy or incorporate into the bbq sauce!  You know, for that extra-healthy kick to my potatoes!
