Ortech is no longer making the controllers for Traeger. I installed one on my LTE that I just sold. I contacted them recently to see if they had one for the new Select and was told they are no longer supplying the controls to Traeger. Was sorry to hear this. I loved how you could adjust the...
Welcome to Traeger Nation. We are on our THIRD Traeger. We started with the Junior which we loved cooking on ... decided to upgrade to the LTE and loved it even more ..... then this past December just before Christmas we ran into the Traeger Traveling Show at Costco and ended up buying the...
@coffee_junkie ..... The "screen" you are referring to is actually a product called Frogmat and is designed for use in smokers. It is made from a plastic type of material and helps foods from sticking. Plus clean up is a breeze with just some soap and water. I use them all the time.
Here is...
I have enjoyed being a member of this group for some time now and have received lots of great info which has helped us enjoy our Traeger LTE. Our poor Weber Summit grill has only been uncovered twice since Traeger became part of our family.
While I have yet to master brisket and pulled pork...
I am going to try a small tri-tip today and my main concern is getting it tender. I have done a couple larger ones in the past and while they had a good smoke ring and flavor they were far from tender. Very chewy. Plus I felt they cooked rather fast. So how can I get a tender tri-tip? I...
I have been reading this thread and found it most interesting. One thing I will agree on is using pellets is a great way to go. I am a Traeger fan and bought one before I know anything about them. I started with the Junior and found after having it for almost a year how dang versatile it was...
Many thanks for taking the time to post and providing some great info. Now would I be better off with just a plain un-marinated tri-tip or should I go for one of those vac packed marinated ones? If I go with a plain naked one should it be marinated or rubbed the day before? If so what works best?
I have cooked 2 tri-tips so far and while they tasted good the meat was super chewy. Is there a trick or secret to get a tender tri-tip? When I buy a tri-tip should I be looking for something specific in the cut or grade? Would I be better off buying a marinaded one already packaged? Is...
I will be doing my first brisket this weekend and would like some guidance. I recently upgraded my smoker to the Traeger Lil Tex Elite and absolutely love it. I have a 5.5lb flat cut brisket we got from Costco. Traeger has a great cooking guide called Brisket 101 that pretty much walks you...
I have read a number of posts regarding brining for poultry and notice the salt to liquid ratio varies immensely. I want to smoke some chick parts (legs and thighs) but want to brine first. What should the salt to liquid ratio be?
I notice for most of whole birds they should be brined over...
Well my first attempt at smoking rib-eyes was a success. It took about an hour for them to reach 120*. I then put them on a hot grill for 4 minutes total. They came out moist, tender and super flavorful. Our guests were very impressed with the steaks as was I. Sorry folks I forgot to take...
You suggestion sounds very interesting. I assume you mean to sear the steaks before smoking. Wouldn't that inhibit the steaks from taking in the smoke? Searing helps seal in the juices so wouldn't it keep the smoke flavor out also? Please explain how you would go about doing your method...
