    Smokin Wedgie vs Amazin tube smoker accessory

    I have a Trager and while I smoke meats, I find that I use it more as a grill then an actual smoker. That being said, I would like to impart a smoke flavor to the chicken, steaks and burgers etc that we cook. Chicken and fish are my main concerns because both can be dangerous if left too long in...

    Traeger Help, please

    I have a new Lil Texas Elite 22 Pro with the new controller so I don't have "p settings" so I cannot speak to checking your settings but I can tell you from personal experience that not following the specific lighting procedure will cause issues, so make sure you follow those.

    First Packer Brisket

    I did not take any photos. I had a nice bark over the roast but the bottom was so hard I could not even slice through it. I"m really thinking that my attempt to gain back the time and internal temp lost when I lost pellet feed by increasing the smoker temp to 275* caused the bottom to burn. I'm...

    First smoker buy questions

    Butch, here is my experience. 2006, purchased an off-set smoker. Smoked a lot of meat on that thing, including close to 100#'s of brisket for a wedding rehearsal dinner (daughter's) but I have much more important things to do then baby sit a smoker. I kept it but purchased a Masterbuilt propane...

    Does anyone use Bear Mountain Pellets

    So far I've cleaned out the pot about every 3 or 4 uses with little ash to be sucked out. So what is a "Rual King" never heard of it. Must be nice to be able to smoke in 70 degree weather, it's almost 11am and it's 18 degrees here. Best price for Lumberjack I can find is Amazon @ $36.00 for 40#s.

    Holding & Reheating

    Do you recommend slicing the brisket say in 1# packages? I do have a seal-a-meal. I did this for pulled pork and seems to work great.

    Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)

    Thanks Bear, great info for a newbie. I did a pork butt when I first got my Traeger and it turned out very good, but learned some things from you that I will try next time. I have another butt in the freezer so maybe next week if it stops snowing. I guess I'm not the purest that you are, the...
