    Need to vent a little !

    I have a Traeger lil tex elite. Have had it almost a year now without any problems. I find that the temp on the digital readout and the analog temp on the door are about 30 degrees off. I just use my own probes in the meat for a good reading. I have had nothing but great results with my traeger...

    Newbie looking for some help

    Hate to say it but that smoker sucks!! I have one. Pain in the rear even with all the mods I did on it. I only use it if I have a whole day to waste messing with it.

    trouble getting hot.

    If it has a water pan don't use it. If your having trouble getting it up to temp it works like a heat sink. I had an ECB vertical smoker. I put play sand from the store in the water pan. The sand held the heat pretty well. Do a search, lots of modification threads for all types of smokers. Sad...

    How Many Times Have You Bought Jeff's Rub and Sauce Recipes?

    once you have unlocked the recipes its a simple matter of copying/pasting them to a file you can keep on your computer. Back them up on a removeable hard drive and/or thumb drive. don't paste them on the forums. Only did it once, never had trouble retreiving them from my backups....I go through...

    which smoker?

    Um, wow. I just looked this up http://pitmaker.com/product/vin/?vin=34409731 That is quite an investment for a smoker if your not doing competition circuits. Stainless steel should last darn near forever. Read some of your other posts. Seems like overkill for just ribs and briskets. But if you...

    finishing pork butt in oven

    That has happened to me also. I'd set the oven for 250, foil the butt to get it finished up (hey you can't add anymore smoke, lol) The meat is done when it's done. Check with your therms and the toothpick test. Always hate when a good smoke gets rained out.....

    AMNPS guys

    If your pellets have absorbed any moisture from the air they will not burn good. Try microwaving them for about 45 seconds to a minute first to drive out any moisture and try again. If that doesn't work you may have to play with your air inlets and exhaust settings to get a better draw of air...

    Delmonico Steaks (Nice and Hot)

    Okay forgive me for asking, I might have missed it. Where did you get the sizzle plates from? I would love to get some. I love it when at a steakhouse and the food is served on a hotplate, still sizzling and popping!!!!

    New member.....can I get lots of smoke???

    Hello everybody

    With a little patience you can smoke on a regular grill. Put your charcoal on one side for your "hot zone" throw your wood chunks/chips on it, set what is to be smoked on the other side in the "cool zone" its also called indirect heat cooking. After that is set up you just have to play with your...

    Type of Wood

    Arrgg, I live in the midwest. Illinois to be exact. I haven't done much sourcing for wood....Oak is easy to get. I mostly buy chunks and pellets  from various stores. I'd love to get a ton of peach wood, if only you didn't live so far away I'd ask you to send me some logs (I'd pay for shipping...

    How do you keep your rub from clumping up solid

    when mine clumps I just break it into chunks and throw them in the coffee grinder.
