    Poultry Spatchcock

    Get a square food safe bin and take one shelf out of your garage fridge. The one I use held fish originally so you can repurpose a bin or buy a food safe bin on amazon. For the last 5 or 6 years I have spatchcocked a turkey and then brined it over night Wednesday for Thursdays Turkey day. If you...

    Sauce/Rub I'm sick of my Pork Rub

    One of the best rubs I have ever tried on both pork and lamb, is McCormick Roasted Garlic and Herb. Not sweet at all but amazingly savory. I use it on pork ribs, chops, roasts, lamb chops, racks, and whole legs. It is also pretty amazing on fish, believe it or not. Simple stuff that you can buy...

    Poultry Thanksgiving Turkey

    Just love cooking Thanksgiving Turkey and just got a Traeger last year. Here is a recipe and method I have used for years cooking on my BGE. I usually cook about a 13 lb Turkey and spachcock it. I use an apple cider / honey / salt /acid brine I got from an Adam Perry Lang BBQ book "Serious BBQ"...

    Webber vs Traeger

    I think the main problem with the Smokefire issue is that they tried to combine the ability to sear with the ability to do low and slows and moderate heat cooks, and they can't seam to work out the conflicts between the two. Personally, I have three grills on my deck, a Weber Summit 4 burner...

    Hot Lid Handle

    I also have a Timberline 850 and do not have hot handle issues. I have gotten great response from Traeger when I reach the Utah mother ship, not so much with overseas operators. Sounds like you got some wood skills. The repurposed vintage baseball bat handle sounds quite nice. I would go with...

    Hot Rod Fact

    Bought a new Timberline 850 a while back. From the get go I had issues with slow then non existent ignition. Called the mother ship, several times, computer up dates, etc. However, the problem still remained. Traeger finally determined that my brand new Traeger, with 4 uses, had a defective hot...

    Tip for removing your brisket or pork butt in one piece

    Träeger makes a super duty spatula designed to lift big cuts and whole birds. It is supper stiff and will not bend at all, I have lifted 17 lb briskets and 25 lb turkeys with relative ease. It also has a knife blade grind on the spatulas tip that helps it slide under meat that is stuck to the...

    Timberline is home

    Beautiful cooking spot, fire, smoke, a few beers, and beef, chicken, ribs and such will make for some wonderful evenings. Enjoy the fruits your labor.

    Smoke Tube?

    I purchased a little 6" Amazingsmoke tube a while back and used it on a tri tip cook. When you cook at low and slow temps the smoke the trager puts out is IMO fine. However, you don't get much of a smoke profile when you go to moderate or higher heat cooks. When I did the Tri Tip I brought it...
