    Totally confused in Smoker Selection

    Hi Bob, Don from Reno here. I know its confusing so here is some advise a dealer gave me when I was looking, he said. You can spend $700 for a Treager or $2000 for a Rec Tec, but I'll tell you one thing if I put 6 racks of ribs on a table all smoked on different smokers, you could NOT tell be...

    Rookie with a Couple of Questions

    Hi Art, Don in Reno, NV. There are lotsa variables when it comes to smoking. I have a Treager Pro 22 and use a Treager Insulated Cover in the winter. 1. Treager probes are not accurate. 2. Meat density makes a difference, every piece of meat is different. 3. Outside temp makes a difference, so...

    Pellets?

    Lumber Jack Pellets from BBQ Pellets on Line $495.00 per ton plus $275.00 shipping equals $15.40 per 50# bag, don't think you'll find them any cheaper anywhere for 100% flavor wood pellets. I was paying more than that for 20# bags of non 100% flavor pellets.

    Your Opinion is Needed!

    I have had a Traeger Pro 22 for over 2 years now and would NOT trade it for anything else. If it's cold where you are get the blanket, expensive but WELL worth it. Have smoked ribs (lots), pulled pork, brisket, and tri tip, whole chickens, chicken wings and grilled just about anything you can...

    First Pork Butt and Ribs on New Smoker

    Welcome to the forum. Which grill did you get? My first 2 cents worth of advise is to get a good thermometer ot measure internal meat temps especially on the butt final temp 195 to 205 internal. As for the ribs, use the 3,2,1 method it works and is pretty much fool proof. Your pellet mixture is...

    Corned Beef Round

    i'm going to do a corned beef round for St. Pattys Day and I need some advice.When you do corned beef in a crocked pot or on the stove you simmer the thing for 6 or 8 hours, but what about doing it on a pellet pooper? Bottom round is almost as un-tender as brisket so do I treat it like brisket...

    Thinking about making the switch from wood fired smoker to a pellet smoker

    Hi, I purchased a Traeger Li'l Texas Elite Pro in November and simply love it. Since my wife and I  along with our kids like a mild smoke flavor, it is ideal. The Traeger Pro models have a new controller one that is similar to but not the same as the Savannah Stoker v4 so I have noticed very few...

    New Traeger. Need Advice. Food Not Smoky Enough

    I've read a lot of similar complaints and will add that "smoke flavor" is an individual thing. I have a Texas Elite 22 Pro and all of my kids (4 with 3 son-in-laws) and 12 grand kids love the meats off of my Traeger and my son -in-law's Traeger, but we all prefer a "light" smoke flavor. Now...

    Smokin Wedgie vs Amazin tube smoker accessory

    Do you much high temp grilling with your camp chef? I'm assuming that you have a camp chef pellet grill! I have a camp chef stove we use for camping with one of their grill boxes and would like to use the tube in it also, if there is room. The camp chef smoker was one that I looked at before I...
