    Pork Belly Burnt Ends - Pellet Smoker

    They turned out great! Total time in the Traeger was about 3.5 hours. I realized that I did not slice up the cubes very consistently...some were a little bigger, some were a little smaller. Paired them up with some smoked sausage, pickles, and some pickled red onions. Thanks for the comments!

    Patio Umbrellas Help - Windy Conditions

    Good morning What suggestions, experience, etc. do you have for using patio umbrellas in windier conditions (not talking a hurricane, but a decent wind)? Situation: we have finished our pool area, and we need some shade. We live up on a bit of a bluff, and we are pretty open, thus, we get wind...

    Reheating Pulled Pork From Prior Day Smoke

    Thanks for all of the replies. Sounds like I should not be worried about smoking a butt the day before serving. If I’m following, the general consensus is to smoke, rest, save juices, pull, cool down, and then package up in some shape or fashion. Time and temp for SV? Is this for thawed or...

    Reheating Pulled Pork From Prior Day Smoke

    Good evening I have always smoked, pulled and ate pork the same day. I have never smoked the day prior and then reheated. What is your process if you smoke a butt the day before to reheat and serve?

    lets talk griddles !!

    Apologies for digging this thread up from months ago. However - I'm curious from the flat top owners: what is the grease splatter like with these flat tops? Will it wreck havoc on a patio?

    Flat Top - Grease Splatter?

    For those of you that have a flat top griddle, how is the grease splatter? Do you have a mess on your patio or deck? We have a new very nice patio, and I'm hesitant that a flat top is going to make a mess on the pavers. Thank you!

    Pulled Chuck - Advice Please

    Hotter end of pellet smoker?

    Hello I have a Traeger Pro 1300. Would the pellet hopper end or the smoke stack end generally run hotter? I plan on testing this with some biscuits or something of the like, but I’m curious for what the general rule of thumb is. Thanks!

    Pork Butt Questions

    Update - pulled the butt off the smoker about 45 minutes ago. Let it vent on the counter for about 10 minutes, and then in a cooler with a couple of towels. It should get almost 2 hours of rest before pulling. Also - I pulled some of the drippings out of the foil pan before it went into the...

    Pork Butt Questions

    Hi everyone I have a pork butt on the Traeger, with plans for pulled pork for dinner this evening. A few questions I could use help on: IT is around 168* right now, and I want to eat at 4:30 PM. I assume I’ll stall out soon, but I expect to still finish early. How long can the butt rest either...
