    Pellets Alternative pellets?

    another strong vote for Bear Mountain, especially the hickory and gourmet blend :) since someone brought up Knotty Wood, I will warn about the extreme klinker byproduct from their pellets. search for my thread.

    Help! Meat comes out of Traeger with a STRONG taste of smoke.

    a good all around mild smoke flavor pellet is the Bear Mountain gourmet blend but I would say apple is likely to be your mildest option. how has the humidity been where you are in Texas lately? that's GOT to be a contributing factor

    Cooking Graph

    maybe with the Meater acquisition/merger, Traeger will eventually add a graph to their app. I'm a big fan of the Meater app

    Smoking multiple briskets

    nice job. I've never tried a brisket...not after even 20 years of smoking. but I know how you feel when it comes to the end of a cook...damn, who's gonna clean all this mess up and vacuum seal the meat?! you are :) happens after every pork butt I do. I've gotten better at timing it though so at...

    Prairie 572 temp swing problems

    hi crewser, how often do you clean out the firebox? are you seeing "clinkers", chunks that come out as one piece, consisting of ash, natural resin (silicon, actually)? or is it mostly ash? are the firebox holes all clear and open? maybe take a photo of the firebox/augur and post here. I was not...

    New Silverton 620 vs 2017 Texas Elite

    hey Jer, I've owned the 620 for just over a year now. overall, I'm happy with the purchase. you get a lot with the coscto deal; two internal cooking surfaces, two external shelves, underneath storage, cover and the return convenience should you decide it's not for you. there are tradeoffs...

    Rust on 4 Month Old Grill

    hey Seidl, the only part of my silverton that looks like that is the heatshield that sits in that channel, both top and bottom of it are oxidized and rusty looking. doesn't bother me too much since I wrap heavy duty aluminum foil on it before every cook (rather than the pricey drip trays). plus...

    The grate in the pellet hopper?

    you can always prime the augur to clear out the pellets in there and then just scoop them out of the firebox. I seldom do that, however.

    Pellets anyone ever seen plum pellets?

    Hey everyone, I wanted to report back after talking with the company about my problem with the plum pellets. They told me they don't use any foreign binders but instead, use a high quantity of bark (which you can see by the color of the pellets). The bark not only burns hotter but also contains...

    Pellets anyone ever seen plum pellets?

    nope, no rain, we've been dry and warm for a while. both days mid to upper 70s and while I didn't look at a hygrometer, I'd bet humidity was nominal at around 50%. btw, I have smoked in the rain with other pellets and never had anything like this slag in my firebox and have never seen an...

    Pellets anyone ever seen plum pellets?

    @BuckeyeBBQr , I would hold off on using those pellets for baking, in fact, I would advise against anyone using these pellets at any temp. I ordered the combo pack from home depot (bag of almond pellets, plum pellets, spice rub and a couple jars of honey). Used the plum wood on Friday with...

    Nice, Murphy! I just ordered the starter package from them on home depot: bag of almond pellets, bag of plum pellets, two big jars of almond blossom honey and a bag of their Knotty Rub. I'll definitely report back!

    Wow! What a great community we have here 🙂 Thanks so much, Ted, for letting me know about this!! I'm actually going to be ordering from home depot today so I'll be sure to look for those plum pellets. And I hope you report back about the pork butt. Before the Traeger, I would use a combination...

    Burnt Ribs

    I agree with RMEKC, 275 is not an unreasonable temp for ribs. I just did loin back ribs at this temp, 2 hours meat up, only one hour foiled and then finished them to a nice crust for about 1.5 after removing from foil. best ribs overall I've ever done. just enough smoke essence and no dry meat...
