I know this is an old thread but this is something I do ALL THE TIME with my Traeger and with excellent results. Sure, starting with fresh chicken and going forward is 5 times easier, takes less time, and tastes better. But using your Traeger on those frozen breasts from Costco is the ONLY way...
Hey Dutch, as a follow up I guess I'll need to line up for the "burnt ends" because last night, Pat's just wasn't "it." My wife and I took the family down there for some brisket, pulled pork, and to try out that smoked meat loaf that Pat's offers and we were just not impressed.
The search...
Thank you Dutch (and Bear) - yes, she gave me the nod and said they were very, very close. My only complaint was that the underside had gotten a bit too charred because I haven't modified my smoker yet. So whenever flareups happened or the temp got too hot on the right side, it was burning the...
If you think you might want to pick one of these up and haven't, keep your eyes open for sales. My wife spied one of these for sale at a local clearance place - and for some reason, they were selling this PRE-ASSEMBLED for $99! Some folks say it's a good little smoker for $200 - I say it's the...

So this whole thing started with a trip to a "Cowpoke Barbecue" place that's been in business here for quite a while. My wife ordered the ribs and her comment was, "not even close." So if I can get a batch of ribs to pass her test then I think we'll have a winner.
On the whole "healthy" kick - if you're eating brisket or ribs, you're not exactly eating a heart-healthy meal. And on the rack method, I'd be sore tempted to use the drippings to either make some killer gravy or incorporate into the bbq sauce! You know, for that extra-healthy kick to my potatoes!
Just bought my first small smoker and am getting started...since we can't seem to find decent brisket and ribs anywhere within 30 miles of where we now live (I just got relocated to Hill AFB in Utah).
So now we're looking at all the recipes we can find and are going to just start smokin' our own!
