All - I just want to thank you again.  The advice you've given me about thermometers, sticking with easy things until I learn the smoker and the links to "how-to's" has been such a help. I've done several chickens now, beef short ribs.  All have been amazing. I'll try a pork shoulder soon...

The chickens came out great, our guests loved them, kids asked for seconds.  It was a nice triumph in my world! Cooked at 200 or so for about 3 hours.  Wrapped in foil and set oven at 200 just to keep them hot while waiting for our guests.  

I moved the meat probe around both chickens several times.  The temps ranged from 167 up to 173.  Needless to say, I pulled them both out and wrapped them in foil as we prepare the rest of our dinner.  I cut a small wedge out of each chicken to taste, and it was amazing!  I cant wait to eat in a...

Alright... I've got two small chickens on the smoker tight now.  I have a thermometer installed on the side of the smoke which is 100 + degrees different than the Traeger digital therm (don't get tarted on that) and Maverick Digital therm with a probe. I have the grill at about 200 degrees and...

good stuff, thank you to all. I'll try something the next few days and provide a report. Wish me luck.

Thanks Joe! I live at about 5300' above sea level.

Great, sounds like I need some temp probes.  I will invest in that. My question though is that if the digital thermometer is wrong on my unit, how do I regulate the pellets? The pellet auger spins at speed based on the setting I choose.  When changing speeds. it heats way up and cools down. I...

I'm not sure where they've gone wrong but here is a list of the meat and the result. Filet Mignon- a little under cooked, had to grill for about 10 mins longer Salmon Steaks-under cooked, but ok Pork Ribs- decent, kinda chewy Pizza- Burnt Beef ribs-awful, no meat on the bones, wasted a whole...

Hello All, I suck at smoking, like bad, I'll admit it  I'm in Rio Rancho New Mexico.  I recently bought a large Traeger Electric Smoker.  I'm definitely new to smoking and could really use some advice. My wife sold me on buying this electric smoker.  So far I've tried Salmon, Filet Mignon...
