    Meat puzzle

    This is supposed to be a 18lb whole packer brisket, when I took it out of the vac pak bag it fell into what you see in the picture, 6 chunks of meat that do not look like any brisket flat or point I've ever seen before? Anyone else see anything like this before? They look more like tri tips. The...

    Vacuum sealed beef trimings

    I thawed some brisket trimmings to mix in with some venison grind. When thawed I noticed it had a dry aged appearance, it smells fine, it's not freezer burned, it's been in the deep freezer for no longer then a year if that. Curious if anyone has seen this before

    Traeger Turkey smoke

    Are there any DIY suggestions on what I can do to help my Traeger reach and maintain temps when outside temps are cold? Not really wanting to fork out $150 for their insulation blanket, or is it worth buying if I use it threw out the winter?

    Jalapeno poppers

    Who else out there is disappointed with the premade pepper holders available? I haven't found one with holes large enough for the huge peppers we are getting.

    Good old ribeyes

    After a weekend of smoking I'm going back to my good ol ribeye grilling. On the Treager for 30 or 40 min and on to the 600/700 charcoal grill for a quick sear. Damn they look good. Tomahawks are going to take a few minutes longer. All good as long as all come out MOOOOWING

    Treager Pro Controller

    So I tried my Treager this weekend with the new Pro controller installed. Description on their sight says to keep temp plus or minus 15 degrees. I call BS on this, my old controller kept better temps then this piece of crap did. Set it to high and grill temp never got over 332, I smoked two...

    Vacuum sealing

    Has anyone vacuumed sealed pork after putting on your rubs? I know it helps to pull a wet marinade into the meat, just curious if it would help with a dry rub? About to get to huge shoulders ready for smoking tomorrow
