Hello from Saskatchewan

[thalarctos]

Hi all!

I bought a Traeger Lil Tex (or Colt 45 as it was called then) about ten years ago and never looked back.  

I've used it mostly for grilling, but then one Thanksgiving I bought the pellet hopper extension and smoked a turkey.  It was delicious, but tasted like ham!  I really wanted the taste of smoked turkey, not ham! 

Recently I've smoked some pulled pork and my first brisket, and they turned out great. 

I'm looking forward to learning a lot here!

Hello fellow Canadian. Allow me to say, go Riders. I am a BC fan but you have to love Rider Nation.

I only started smoking last fall and I didn't have much success until I found this forum. I have had my questions answered, been given great advice and have found dozens of smoking projects I want to try.

I really suggest you try posting some of your projects with pictures and descriptions. You will get a lot of advice and suggestions.

Welcome to the forum!
