    Question about tri tip

    Tri tip is plentful here in California, but I never realized it was not common elsewhere such as the east coast. Obviously the meat isn't discarded, so where does the meat that makes up tri tip end up elsewhere? Are portions of it part of other cuts that aren't common here in CA? EDIT: Answered...

    My first slow and low - Tri Tip

    Picked up a tri tip from Costco from their deli. Normally, we put the tri tip in the over for 45m and they taste great. Decided to try my first SNL and it tasted great! I used hickory pellets for this cook. Pics -

    Shoulders at Kroger

    Noob here. I assume we can toss these in the deep freeze and thaw in the fridge over a day or two before smoking at a later date?

    Low carb stacker

    Sugar raises triglycerides. Cut out sugar and watch them fall. Same with cholesterol. Low carb for 4 years. Lots 80 lbs. Best lab #'s in my life have come after cutting sugar and adding bacon to my diet! Those burgers look great! Only thing I would add is bacon :-)

    Thin cut pork chops

    Thanks! I assume the pellet type is largely irrelevant due to high heat and short cook time.

    Thin cut pork chops

    noob here. I picked up some thin cut pork chops yesterday. Normally, I fry them in a cast iron skillet, but tomorrow I'll be assembling my new LG900. Any tips on cooking thin cut pork chops on a pellet? Are thin pork chops too thin for some slow and low cooking?

    New LG Champion Smoker with cold smoke offset

    I'll let you know when I find out. I haven't unboxed it yet. It is an add-on to the grill so I'm sure if it doesn't have a plate to block the hole, you can get one from LG.

    New LG Champion Smoker with cold smoke offset

    I returned the Elite 34 today to the Costco another town over. Their Traeger roadshow started today and I was surprised that the lineup was almost totally different. They didn't have the Elite 34 or the little Tex, but a Century 34 and something else that I can't recall. The Century 34 was $899...

    New LG Champion Smoker with cold smoke offset

    Warning: I'm new to this. Tell me more about the cheese. What kind did you smoke? How long? Would you smoke cheese when you are also smoking meat or would you fire up the LG just for smoking cheese? I have a Traeger Elite 34 still sitting in the box I picked up at the Costco roadshow last...

    Debating between Traeger Elite 34 and Louisiana Grills LG900ci

    Hello! I picked up a Traeger Elite 34 at Costco (Roadshow) here in SoCal, but it's still in the box as I am unsure if I want to keep it. I know Traeger's run more expensive than other brands and am willing to pay more for ease of use and reliability, but when I wanted to the back of Costco...

    Hello from SoCal

    Hi, I'm Doug and I just joined the forum. I decided I wanted to get a smoker after spending a week in Dallas enjoying real, coal smoked meats - something that's hard to come by in SoCal. I settled on getting a pellet style as I have the time to smoke, but don't want to babysit the process all...
