Purchased a Timberline XL this weekend. For the 1st cook, I figured I would try a dessert. It was a spectacular failure. Hopefully y'all can point out where I went wrong.
I am new to pellet grills but have been cooking on a Big Green Egg for over a decade.
I attempted to cook a pumpkin creme brulee.
Set the grill to 250, gave it an hour to let the temperature stabilize, using Traeger Signature Blend pellets.
Placed pan of ramekins (water bath) on the middle rack and cooked as usual.
The taste was absolutely disgusting. It was the most bitter, pungent smoke flavor I've ever tasted. I would not wish that dish on my mother-in-law.
I've cooked this, and variants in my Big Green Egg many times before. Always came out great. Just a slight hint of smoke.
What did I do wrong?
