Made up 15 lbs of morel mushroom and wild rice brats along with 30 lbs of andouille this past weekend. Brats were made with PS Seasonings blue ribbon brat seasoning, wild rice, and some stems and pieces morels I had found back in May. I sautéed them down with garlic, a little butter and olive...
A bulk buy of Lumberjack is your best bet if you can get some friends in on a purchase or if you have the storage space. Pricing is $495 for a ton for 40 lb bags of their normal pellets (some specialty blends and 20 lb bags will run more). I get the MHC blend, OHC blend and 100% hickory. ...
Are they sending you a new grill? They should be - especially if they admitted it was a QC issue that should not have been shipped. I would push the issue with them if you haven't already (unless you came to an agreement with them that you will keep it for a reduced price or additional...
First off - they better be sending you a new drip tray and told you to do it to that one until the new one gets there - if not, demand it.
Second - Your temp swings are not very normal. I believe they are from you dropping the temp from 400 to 350 and the grill was having trouble dropping...
I wouldn't say its working alright. Those are some major swings. I would say that it is a common occurrence for Traegers.
One thing I don't understand - you said you smoked cheese. I don't think there is any way you can smoke cheese in any pellet grill without it getting over 80 degrees and...
I've read of two people that close the vent on their MES in this thread. I think most would recommend having it at least halfway open. You need to get that smoke out of there - it can get stale otherwise, which doesn't taste good at all (creosote / acidic). Other benefits are driving off some...
Yoder is confusing. They don't call them PID controllers, but they are in the same ballpark. I don't have one (I have a Rec Tec), but I have a buddy that has one and his temps are rock solid. I've read other reviews from average Joes that state the same. This is from an Amazingribs review...
I don't understand why anyone would buy a grill without PID and immediately change it out for a PID controller. Buy a quality grill from the start. I also firmly believe that a heavier duty construction helps in regards to grill life and heat retention / pellet use.
The best analogy I have...
