I pit abet an inch of pellets (hickory) then begin to add hickory chunks that have been sized to allow pellets to cover al least one side of the chunk, then add more pellets and repeat the process until the tube iw filled. Smoke is clean and plentiful;.
I see the Aldi brisket flat posted by Shedd, and that seems to me to be a good way to do it as we never eat the point anyway as it's too fatty, and I don't use it to make burnt ends. Aside from burnt ends, is there a reason folks seem to like cooking a packer brisket as opposed to just the flat...
It came up to 165 a lot quicker that I was expecting, but it's under foil now @ 300 degrees. Thanks! We'll pull it tonight, then put the meat in zip lock bags and sous vide tomorrow.
I'm trying SlimPicker's suggestion of Pulled Ham. This is a semi-boneless unsliced ham. It's already cooked and smoked, so I'm looking forward to see how it shreds.
It was very tasty, and I did, for once, remember to make a photograph of my efforts. I made the mistake of glazing the meatloaf with some thick, dark BBQ sauce, which hid the visual appeal of the woven bacon covering. It looked good before the BBQ glaze, but tasted great with it. Nest time...
Andy, did you wrap the brisket in towels and place in a well insulated cooler for the rest period? That allows the meat to slowly cool and makes a big difference in juiciness as well as tenderness. The first brisket I ever cooked was several years ago, on my XL Big Green Egg. I did pretty much...
In cleaning my Timberline last week I noticed that I in the short time that I've owned it (2 months), is already developing black or dark brown "stalactite-like" formations coming from the exhaust vent on the back of grill. That vent is not accessible through the pit I'm wondering if anyone else...
I suspect that if you measure the ambient temperature of the pit with a third party probe, you'll find that it's reading much less, than 225. probably in the area of 180 degrees. If you'll pardon the pun, that disparity between actual temperature and the readout on the Traeger has been a hot...
Over this past weekend I tried cooking smoked chicken with Alabama White BBQ Sauce, a recipe I saw on one of the Traeger YouTube videos. The recipe calls for the chicken to be cooked at 375 degrees. For this high temp setting, I decided to use 2 smoke tubes filled with Bear Mountain Hickory...
CM, Thanks for your response. I looked inside my Timberline along the walls, especially along the right side near the controller and can't find anything that resembles a thermocouple probe, I'm assuming that the built-in Traeger pit probe would closely resemble the aftermarket ambient probes in...
I can't find the pit probe on my Timberline. I'd like to place a FireBoard Pro ambient probe as close to it as possible on my next cook to see the differential there. Anyone on here know where that's located? There's no mention of it in the Owners Manual that I could find,
