    Bulk Buy | Kansas City Area | Pellets

    I usually run 100% Hickory pellets but I wanted to try adding some 100% fruitwood to the mix.  The only way I would do this is to buy it by the skid, otherwise the price is silly. I have confirmed pricing for an entire skid of fruitwood pellets but that's 100 x 20lb bags, way too much for me...

    Traeger Thick Cut KC Strips

    Coated with Montreal Steak Turned the Traeger on High Seared (or attempted to without grill grates) for 7 min. Flipped and went another 7. Continued until about 30 minutes (if I recall) until I reached our ideal medium-rare temp, then took them off. Excellent taste.

Olive oil and McCormick Brown Sugar Bourbon rub, then a layer of brown sugar, then a bit more rub, then wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated until the next am. Cooked for 14 hours, just like this, no spraying, no foiling. Pulled at 195, should...
