    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...

    Internal Temperature for Chicken - thoughs?

    TARGET INTERNAL TEMPERATURE FOR CHICKEN* This one took a while for me to adjust to, but now, it's like I've been blind and now can see. We've been taught to cook chicken to 165F, right? This blanket, highly generalized recommendation is so deceitful. Yes, your chicken will be safe to eat. But...

    Prepping My Brioster for Father's Day BBQ

    Hey guys. I started prepping my brisket this afternoon for my Father's Day BBQ on Saturday. I picked this up on Wild Fork. It weighed in at 16 1/2 pounds. It took about 20 minutes to trim. I have a nice amount of beef fat that I will render down in a pan during my cook. I'm planning on a very...

    Auger Stuck

    I belong to a club that bought a Traeger Commercial 200 a few years ago. The pellets didn’t get removed last fall & after spending a winter in the Seattle humidity two of the three augers are stuck. Really stuck. I’ve soaked the hopper/tube assembly in water for 3 days to soften the pellets &...

    Botched My Brisket

    I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but just need to vent get my panic out before I pull the brisket off. I can’t help but think I’ve botched my brisket. Started off with a 14lbs full packer and definitely cut out way too much fat. Did a mustard smear and probably used too much mustard. Planned...

    Smoked Brisket on Traeger

    I’m 12 hours into my cook today. Smoking is seriously one of the most entertaining things. This is my second brisket but have smoked a few hundred ribs and around 50 pork shoulders. Every time feels like a first, and the process is always a new lesson and challenge. Grilling is something that...

    Ribs are a bit too fall off the bone

    Hello folks, I recently smoked up 3 racks of baby back and they turned out great. I did however want them to hang on the bone a bit more. They were sliding right off and I wasn’t able to cut them individually. By the way I use a Traeger 22 Pellet Grill. Again, the ribs were great, meat was...

    Hey guys! I’m new here. I have a brand new Traeger Ironwood 650. Traeger has sent me 2 probes already and both are now reading “bad probe” on the control module. I called Traeger and told them about this, so they sent me a whole new control module. I just installed it and am still getting...

    I bought an 18 lbs brisket. Help!

    Recently bought a pellet smoker and was looking to use it for the first time this Sunday (I have fired it up to prime the auger and season the grill). Hard to find brisket, but wife found a monster 18 pounder at Costco. Can I separate the top and cook just that? Can I freeze the other half and...

    Traeger Reverse Sear Steak

    It was my birthday. I had bought a prime grill trimmed rib steak. I could just fire up my Weber Genesis grill but I decided to see how my new Traeger Timberline smoker did on a reverse sear. For those of you who don’t know what a reverse sear is, you smoke a steak at low temperature and then...

    Traeger Timberline 850 Review

    I’ve had my Timberline Grill for a couple of weeks and will give you my impressions. I’ll start by talking about the construction of the grill. It is made of much heavier guage steel than most home smokers. Then they use double wall construction to lend strength and insulation for steadier...
