    Looking For New Smoker

    I’m looking to upgrade from my 2014 Traeger 22 Tailgater. I’ve been doing a little research, and I’m really liking the PitBoss Austin XL. My Father In Law has been using PitBoss smokers for a while now but he has run in to several problems with his, so I don’t know how durable they are. I’m...

    Homegrown Ribeyes on the Traeger

    Decided to throw on some of our home grown ribeye tonight! Lowered the temp a little and grilled a little longer. Used a double garlic rub I got locally. Pulled at 135 IT. Hard to beat it!

    Traeger Pro 34 - controller reading 100 degrees higher than my own probe

    I had a feeling things were under temp after a few cooks were taking a lot longer than expected. I turned it on today and put my own probe right next to the built in one that is hooked up to the controller. For every setting and reading the Traeger is giving me my own probe is reading 100...

    Sup y'all? I'm new here

    Just checking in. I have been smoking on a charcoal bullet the last couple years, but my pastor just gave me an electric pellet Traeger. I'm looking to learn some new stuff. I'm currently smoking a 15lb brisket as we speak. Wish me luck, and God bless All

    Traeger Pro 780 modifications??

    I love my new Traeger Pro 780. It is a definite upgrade from my old cabinet smoker that finally rusted out. However, I can’t get enough smoke flavor out of it. When I smoke, there is no visible smoke at all. I know what TBS looks like. This is zero. Zip. Nadda. I googled reviews and apparently...

    Smaller Traeger (Tailgater) Bronson 20 and Using Double Stacked Racks?

    We have the smaller Traeger Tailgater Bronson 20. Interior dimensions are: about 20L x 15 Deep x 7 high in center and only 4 inch high near front and back. We want to use it to grill as many racks of ribs that will fit but still properly cook. Using the vertical grill racks are not ideal as...

    Another ‘my smoker died question’

    Hey there, Brand new here. Just read through all of the threads about smokers dying and people like me desperately hoping they could still eat tonight. Found some very useful info that included ‘ all surface bacteria dies after 30-60 or less @ 225 ‘ . I’m close here so looking for a little...

    Ribeye and NY Strip on the Traeger

    We got our steer back last week from the butcher so we have been eating beef like crazy! Decided to grill up some ribeye and NY strip tonight. Used a steak rub from R Butts R Smokin for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. I only grill a total of about 14 minutes around 400. Hard to beat!

    Quick Chicken Breast Meal

    I have yet to post any pictures on here so I figured why not now lol. Got some already seasoned chicken breast from our local grocery store for a weeknight meal. Pretty simple; throw them on at 350 until 180 internal temp, about 40 minutes. Wife made up some Mac and cheese and green beans to go...

    Brisket Finished FAR to Early - Question

    Hi All - New to the forum. I'm not sure if this is the place for this, but I had a few questions around smoking a brisket on a pellet grill. I completed my first attempt a little while back, and while the brisket wasn't bad, it finished far earlier than expected. First thing - equipment. I have...

    Smoked on the Traeger for 8 hours at 225; bumped up to 250 for the last hour. Injected with apple juice, Mad Hunky rub, a good layer of Kosher salt, and coarse ground pepper. I used a smoke tube for the first 5 hours and used a homemade glaze prior to placing in an aluminum pan and covered for...

    July 4th Spare Ribs - Two Different Methods, Side-by-Side

    July 4th BBQ Cook Two different cook methods for these spare ribs. One has my rub. The other is one I bought from Mad Hunky. That rack (bottom one) was also slathered with a little bit of yellow mustard; never slathered anything before. Wish me luck! These should take 4 1/2-5 hours to finish...

    Weekend Chicken & Ribs

    I decided to try two new recipes for my chicken and ribs cook. For the chicken, I used Big Mo Cason's rub and then created two new sauces from scratch. For the chicken, I used an apricot sauce and for the ribs, I used a sauce with Gulden's mustard. I used a homemade rub on the ribs and cooked...
