    Bear Mountain Owns Lumberjack?

    Yes i did see where Dicks sells Lumberjack pellets but they are almost double the price of what Rural King charged for them. I think I will give the Cabelas wood pellets a try.

    Bear Mountain Owns Lumberjack?

    So my local RK lied to me. Yesterday they told me the RK pellets were made by Lumberjack and were the exact same pellets. I guess its back to the drawing board to me too. I need to find another place to buy Lumberjack pellets in Louisville Ky. Any ideas? The Lumberjack website doesn't show...

    Rural King pellets made by Lumberjack?

    I have been buying Lumberjack pellets for my Traeger from Rural King for a while and to my surprise, when I went in to buy more they no longer carry Lumberjack pellets.

    My Traeger is making noise

    My Traeger is making noise and I think its coming from the auger turning. Is there a way to lubricate the auger? Or do I just need to plan on it dying soon? Is there a way to just replace the auger? Or should I plan on buying a whole new Trager grill? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Just inherited a Traeger & have questions

    Earlier this week I did a dry run on the Traeger I inherited from my dad to make sure it was working correctly. All went well so yesterday on my way home from my morning appointment I went by Rural King and picked up a couple bags of Lumberjack pellets. Couldn’t believe they were only $9 for a...

    Just inherited a Traeger & have questions

    One thing I forgot to mention that my dad complained about was if he stored it by leaving the pellets in the pellet bin/hopper then a few weeks later when he got it back out to use the pellets would get clogged and he would have to clean out the pellet bin/hopper. He always used Traeger pellets...

    Just inherited a Traeger & have questions

    So you would just lay the probe right on the meat grate? Or would you just use this stand up thermometer on the meat grate? Here are pics of the two thermometers I use in my smoker.

    Just inherited a Traeger & have questions

    My dad gave me his old Traeger pellet smoker but he had no instruction manual to go with it. My smoking experience is with a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker which uses chips and you can set the smoker temp. He told me that if you set the Traeger to smoke (low) then the smoker temp is usually around...

    A-MAZE-N Maze Smoker tray goes out but LIZZQ Pellet Smoker Tube stays lit

    I appreciate all your replies. I do sift the pellets to try and get all the dust out. I also microwave the pellets for a few minutes, stirring them every minute, before I put them in the tube or tray. Altitude is not a problem for me since I live in Louisville Ky. I'm probably putting the blow...

    A-MAZE-N Maze Smoker tray goes out but LIZZQ Pellet Smoker Tube stays lit

    I bought both an A-MAZE-N 5X8 Maze Pellet Smoker tray and a LIZZQ 12-inch Premium Pellet Smoker Tube. I use them both in my MES 30 electric smoker that Jonok helped me modify so airflow is not an issue. The LIZZO smoker tube stays lit just fine and burns all the pellets up to ash. However the...

    Cooking time on Smoking 6 pound pork loin

    This pork loin (not tenderloin) is a monster. I know I should pull it out when the internal temp reaches 145 degrees but how long do you think it will take to get to that internal temp if I set my MES 30 at 220 degrees? I just need to have a good estimate of when to put it in since I am taking...

    Smoke tube won't stay lit in my MES

    I want to do a shout out to Jonok who has helped me modify my MES 30. It appears that the reason my smoke tube was going out is because it was not getting enough oxygen. I installed the custom made mod package from Jonok and now my smoker tube stays lit.

    Smoke tube won't stay lit in my MES

    Since we have established that the A Maze N tube and pellet tray are far superior to the LIZZQ and other knock offs, what brand pellets do you all consider to be the best and far superior to other brands out there?
