Since Kirbygw resurrected this:
Actually he returned in Dec, probably didn't even read thru this whole thing.
For me, I own a Traeger 575 and I would have told him to buy something else. My next is a Yoder for sure.
Sorry for keeping this alive.
Had to give this a try on the Traeger, running at about 410°
I cut them into 2 bone pieces, added a binder and heavy rub
It took 70 minutes to reach over 200° IT and then let them rest in the smoker while it was in "shutdown".
The meat was PERFECT!!! These were as much 'bite off the bone' as...
With bow, walked right up to me, then ran bleeding all down hill for 150 yards... I had to drag it all the way back up to the road. I won't be needing a heart stress test... I survived!! (barely)
Doesn't "fall back" mean back to normal time before daylight savings??
In any case, I'd like it to stay "back" year round, the daylight is much more "centered" on normal waking hours year round than when pushed forward an hour. But that's just me, I hate daylight till 9:30 at night.
However...
I got one and LOVE it... but my Traeger goes down to 165° in the 'warm' setting, sometimes I use that for an hour or 2 also. You won't be disappointed to have a roaster!!! For turkey, even RIBS during the wrap or pull pork to serve
I went 4.5 hours with a small 5lb brisket before and it was NOT tough at all, same juicy hot as if it was a 1 hour rest.
YES, I can see an overnight rest being almost letting it cool too much to where it hardens up. 2-4 hours is never let me down before.
So you can be 4 hours OFF your 'shoot...
A play on the "My Pillow Guy"... Anyway,
OH they were very juicy since pellet grills tend to "skin" over anything they cook with that convection of air movement.
I changed the title, sorry for the joke.
