Another turkey temp question
I am going to smoke a 13 lbs. turkey on my traeger this year using your maple turkey recipe and pecan pellets. I love using your rub but have not used it with a sweet base like maple surup. This year I'm going to spatchcock it, remove the legs and place it in a foil pan with some carrots, onion... -
12-14 lbs turkey Pellet grill/smoker temp?
I've never tried both at the same time. The pellets in the tube were a little hard to light for me too but I was using a little butane torch. I was using apple pellets and waited until it actually started flaming. It took about 5 minutes or so. The torch is good for things like cream brûlée but... -
Turkey or chicken stock
I put all my bones in my crockpot and turn it on when I go to bed. In the morning strain everything and there's your broth. Same basic ingredients like carrots, onions, bay leaf and celery. Add about 10 cups of water. Just google slow cooker turkey broth. -
Help - Turkey not so good - UPDATE
So what did you end up using for smoke this time? Also, how did the skin come out at the higher temp. Was it edible? I'm going to try using pecan this time for my smoke. I was going to spatchcock it, brush it with maple syrup and then apply a rub but I'm not sure if the high temp would cause it... -
12-14 lbs turkey Pellet grill/smoker temp?
This is going to be the second time smoking a turkey using my traeger. You make a good point, low temp gives you good smoke but rubbery skin and high temp gives you less smoke but crisper skin. I just remembered that I have a amazing tube smoker that I have been using when cold smoking cheese. I... -
Cheese in a pellet smoker
So I ended up smoking my cheese for about 3 1/2 hours. After 1 1/2 hours I turned it over. I used the tube smoker with apple pellets and placed the cheese on a rack over a aluminum pan filled with ice. This kept everything nice and cool for the whole smoke. But like others have wrote, you have...- mark-ct

Cheese Storage Times
Thanks guys, great info. With air being the enemy of cheese, properly sealing it is going to make a big difference. I have never had a problem with any food after I vacuum sealed it. I'm keeping records of everything but unfortunately I let others try some and now the first batch is almost gone...- mark-ct

Cheese Storage Times
After you smoke your cheese, how long do you store it? Do you go by the sell by date? Does smoking it extend the expiration date? I don't plan on waxing it but I have a food sealer that I put some cheddar in the other day. Its a little confusing when you buy cheese that been aged 3 years but has...- mark-ct

Cheese in a pellet smoker
It was last weekend when I smoked some ribs, meatballs and pecans. My tube just got here the other day. Now I'm waiting for a cool enough day to smoke the cheese. I just finished the last of my melted Monterey Jack that I was able to save. It actually had a real good taste for only smoking for...- mark-ct

Cheese in a pellet smoker
Good idea about the water bottles. I have a lot of Poland springs bottle that are waiting to be recycled so I can use a bunch of them. I just ordered my tube smoker and it should be here by the weekend. Living in Vermont I'm sure you can get good prices on most Cabot cheese. I have a Cosco and...- mark-ct

Cheese in a pellet smoker
Thanks GMC I really didn't think of that this being my first time. It was kind of funny how the cheese went from being on top of the rack to under the rack in a matter of minutes. On the plus side the spacing on the rack sliced the cheese into nice bite size pieces. Treagers video had the cheese...- mark-ct

Cheese in a pellet smoker
First time smoking cheese in a Treager pellet smoker. I did cheddar and Monterey Jack. I set the cheese on a grate over a pan of ice. I used apple pellets. Set on smoke, I started the timer for one hour at which time I was going to flip them over. Right away I noticed the temp rising over a 100...- mark-ct

Pellet Smoker + Water Pan
Has anyone used or recommend using a water pan when smoking with a pellet smoker? I have a Traeger and have not used one but I've read through a lot of recipes that recommend using one when smoking. I know there is not enough room on the grate most times but if there was would it make a...- mark-ct

New smoker member
Hi All, This is my fist post to the forum. I've been smoking for about six or seven years with a Graet Smoky Mountain propane smoker. It was fun to use and drove the neighbors crazy with the aroma of wood and meats. But being a propane smoker I didn't use it as much as I would have liked...
