    traeger fails.

    i got mine directly from trager. they will never replace a unit voluntarily. when i first got mine the auger didn't work. they refused to help, expecting me to do all the fixing on a new unit. so, i called visa n stopped payment. then, they sent a new control box. now that i know they should...

    Dehydrating Garlic

    why do you need a dehydrater living in the desert? are you actually humid? on the high plains, i can dry fruit right on the tree.

    Bacon Hangers ... modified for more room..... RIBS ARE HANGING NOW....5/25

    you gotta watch this dave omak character or he'll cost you a  fortune. first he made me get a mes. then a maverick, then a maze. finally he forced me to get a ruger that's my new  pic.  now he wants me to get tools i don't know how to use. i guess i could get a grinder n put it up on a shelf...

    Bacon Hangers ... modified for more room..... RIBS ARE HANGING NOW....5/25

    how did you cut the steel bars? look. if that support bar doesn't burn up, why can't i just use  a dowel threaded thru the ribs.? they would hang higher. i can do stuff with wood but not metal.

    traeger fails.

    my food doesn't burn up  nor are temps that high. they run about 50-60 degrees hotter than the machine is set, when using it set for 225.. the P is at factory settings. i'll test it but i already know the auger doesn't run continuously. i fill the hopper to the top but my hopper is smaller...

    traeger fails.

    i have the junior elitr. there is no mistake. when i tried an overnite smoke i had to get up every two hours, yes, it always burns hotter than the set temp. i  thot this was normal i'll call treager to see if there's a fix. thanks so much for alerting me to the possibility that i might get...

    traeger fails.

    well, if i load the hopper with pellets to  burn, it empties out in about 2 1/2 hours. the traeger burns pellets for heat. you are not supposed to let pellets run out.

    traeger fails.

    i have to point out, traegers suck for  long smokes. you have to feed them every 2 hours. i still have my traeger but never use it. wanna buy  it? i bot a mes for $120, a maze for $12 n i can get a 12 hour smoke. i light the maze up before bed, then go to bed. i go look at the smoker after my...

    Smoked Chuck?

    140 degrees overnight, then up to 190 after my morning coffee. it works. plus, with all that time smoking, tenderness comes at a much lower IT than others shoot for. that's for butts, all other roasts n home cured hams. i no longer argue with people who obsess about ''danger zones'' due to...

    Smoked Chuck?

    my personal  method  for super tender is very low temps for a very long time. that's frowned upon by many members who jump up n down n scream when i  how low  my temps actually are.
