Hi,
Have purchased and used the Traeger Pro 575 a few months ago and used with various success. Anywhere from awesome to inedible and everywhere in between. The biggest issue I seem to be having is with beef short ribs. The first time I tried them they came out great (followed the Traeger app pretty much step by step but cooked about 10-20 deg C lower).
Then I thought I’d experiment a bit and followed the Aaron Franklin method (no wrap) and they were terrible. (Overcooked and chewy). I put it down to a failed experiment so went back to the Traeger app method and they were again disappointing. The internal temp was spot on but the meat tasted chewy as if it hadn’t broken down the collagen although the flavour was Ok.
I don’t mind spending 7 hours cooking and prep if they come out great but if not then it seems like a massive waste of time and money.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
