    need a decent marinade injector recommendation

    I bought 3 dollar injector at the grocery store.  The main complaint I have is the liquid dribbles out the end whether I pour it in or draw from a cup.  Do they all do that?  I'm an injection newbie.

    Venting Smoke - Traeger Jr.

    The smoke isn't billowing like a forest fire but he always has his windows open.  I'm just trying to get it up in the air out of his face.  Any idea how to do this correctly?  I guess I don't know much about the physics of smoke (if it's different than air) I also want to make a statement kind...

    Venting Smoke - Traeger Jr.

    Traeger chamber mods... I guess I'll just shoot from the hip, skip all the BS and cut straight to the chase.  If there is already a thread about this I apologize - I couldn't find it.
