    Favorite BBQ Sauce!

    Gates BBQ Sauce - Extra Hot and Sweet and Mild versions - you can only buy it online (unless you live in KC).  Mrs. likes just the sauce but everyone else, I put a mild rub on and sauce toward end.

    Pellets for a Treager Smoker

    I use the Perfect mix too in my Traeger and they are a good all around pellet.  They have lower amount of dust than others I have used, especially Traeger brand.  They do create more ash than the Oak/Alder based pellets and I do notice a modest increase in consumption too.  If I am looking for a...

    can i smoke when its 35 outside

    Before I insulated my gas GOSM I could smoke at 225-250 until it got down to 25 (with a windscreen).  Lower than that and I couldn't keep the temp high enough.

    First words exchanged with your wife/husband?

    The first time I met my wife was when I was 12 years old.  At the time, I didn't know that I would meet up with her 13 years later at a local club and start dating.  At 12, I remember my big sister was having a party with her friends and I watched from the top of the stairs as they played a game...

    AMNS or AMNPS?

    I have both and prefer using the AMNPS with pellets becasue it is cleaner/easier to fill.  Also, on windy days, the dust can blow around if your not careful.  You can use pellets in the AMNS but you are limited to one row.  For the most flexibility, the AMNPS.

    what is the hardest meat to smoke??

    Brisket is the hardest for me.  Not because I can't make a good brisket, but because I can't be consistent with the results.  Even when I select the same size cut, same prep., same temp/foiling, etc.,. - sometimes it is great, sometimes just ok.

    what is the hardest meat to smoke??

    I have had the same challenge of not getting enough smoke flavor.  When I smoke fish, I supplement smoke by adding a few pellets in my AMNPS.  To help keep the fish from drying out I also rub a thin layer of oil (canola or olive oil).  I have had good luck with both thin and thick fillets.

    Hawaiin themed pulled pork

    There is nothing special about the pig for Hawaiian.  It is smoked pork with salt.  When I was at my one and only luau on the big island, I asked the folks that were burying the pig about preparation,any special herbs or spices, etc.,. Response was, "Pig, Salt, Heat, Eat."  It was tasty.  If you...

    Brisket Different Info Question

    Agree, 165 seems really low.  I take mine to 190-200 and rest for at least 1 hour - sometimes a little dry but I used to do lower temp.  Most times I wound up with something closer to shoe leather.  For me, bottom line though is, how does his taste (flavor, tenderness, juice, etc.,.) compared to...

    Different on the ET 73 ET-732

    An important feature the 732 has that the 73 does not is it will beep peridically to warn you the receiver is out of range.  I had several times with my 73 where the signal was lost and by the time I noticed it, the smoker was too high/low in temp for an extended period.  When the batteries get...

    Amen - that is exactly why I got my Traeger - more time to hang out with my family and not be bound to tending the smoke!  Set it and forget it (till it's it done!

    which pellet grill is right for me? Insight please

    Youtube has quite a few videos showing off differnet pellet smokers that may help you make a decision.  I have experience with my Traeger Texas that I can share. Hardware is good quality, not the thickest steel, sturdy legs, good quality rubber wheels.  Controller has 10 settings in ~25 degree...

    Galvanized metal concerns/RTV

    I used Permatex high-temp RED RTV Silicone #26BR for propane smoker door gasket.  It is rated at 650 degrees Fahrenheit.  It does not generate any off gases once cured as long as you don't exceed the temperature rating and the package explicitly stated it was food safe when cured.  If you know...

    TRAEGER SMOKERS

    I own a Traeger Texas.  The only difference between The Lil' Tex Elite is Texas has higher BTU and larger grill space.  The Lil' Tex only has the 3 position thermostat (Texas and Lil' Tex Elite have the 10 position).  I chose the Texas for the larger grill space - a nice size gathering and I...
