    Traeger PTG portable pellet grill

    Looking for other PTG users. I just got mine today used but like brand new. Turned it on and ran it up to high and couldn't get it over 300 to 350. Not real happy with that I have two other big pellet grills and they are wonderful. Anybody else have any input or advice?

    Adding wood or coal to a UDS?

    I'm thinking about adding a UDS to the collection and got to wondering how you add more wood or coal to the bottom of the drum without removing the meat, racks and letting all the heat out. I've looked at some videos and didn't recall any access doors for wood at the bottom. I seems the only...

    I have a smoking question...

    I have a new (used 4 times Brinkmann TLE offset and I generally food ribs, whole hams ( precooked), chicken, and nothing fancy. With this smoker can I use just wood or will this create a constant smoke and be too much for the meat. Last time I did ribs using a few chunks of wood and mainly...

    Brinkmann TLE Smoker

    Hi folks, I've been on you tube and taken a lot of advice from posters about the mods for my Brinkmann TLE which I purchased a few weeks ago. I drilled two holes in the front on each end and installed two more thermometers in the front lower at grilling level. I purchased two cookie sheets...

    Hello from Michigan

    Glad to be on with everyone. I've been pellet smoking with a Traeger for a few years now and just recently bought a Brinkmann TLE to add to my BBQ collection. The offset smoker is going to take some practice as I have tried it out twice now and had to do a lot of fiddling around with the temp...
