    New Maverick ET-736 (wifi) does NOT work with iDevices!

    Just got my new ET-736 and read the docs while charging the unit.  Imagine my dismay when the only app that can be downloaded for the unit is for ANDROID!  The Maverick website and documentation online both say "works with iDevices and Android".  Either they have an app in the works that is not...

    Question- Smoking time for a Turkey

    I've smoked large turkeys (24-26 lbs) on my Traeger for the past four years. The best method, by far, for smoking a large turkey is to go unconventional and part-out the bird before cooking. You can "wing-it" or you can watch Jacques Pepin separate a turkey here:  (the important part begins at...

    A-maze-n Pellet Smoker blows out on a Traeger

    Thanks, shtrdave. I'm wondering if using some heavy-duty foil as a diverter for airflow around the A-maze-n box would work?  Just head-scratching...

    A-maze-n Pellet Smoker blows out on a Traeger

    I'm trying to concentrate a bit more smoke on my long, slow brisket smokes and bought an A-maze-n box for the purpose.  Problem is, with the airflow in my Traeger Texas, it tends to blow out regularly.  Anyone else have this issue and hopefully a fix for it?  Is there a preferred position or...

    3-2-1 method

    3-2-1 represents 3 hours of smoking time, 2 hours of cooking in foil time, and 1 hour of "finishing" time with the ribs back on the smoker, but sauced (if using).  There are many variations on this cooking method - most use a temperature of 225 degrees. * Sorry Gents, I didn't notice Page 2...

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    I know you've had plenty of input already, but I'm a Traeger guy (Texas model). I've had some issues with temp control but most I have attributed to using off-brand pellets.  That's not a sales job for Traeger pellets, it's just a fact that when I used the off-brand I got wild temperature swings...

    Another new guy from MN

    Thanks for the tip on the pellets. I'm really enjoying the Traeger. The digital thermostat is outstanding. So far I've done chicken legs with a 24-hr marinade, meatloaf and a brisket.  All of them were "best in class" compared to my previous efforts on a gas grill (with wood chip packets).  I'm...

    Another new guy from MN

    I'm a pilot who has been grilling for years for family, friends, and large gatherings (we host an Oktoberfest every year for 150+).  I've been a propane guy with a large, stainless 4-burner and an "event grill" with no cover but 8 burners, two tanks and no waiting! After being hounded by a...
