Hi,
My wife just bought he a beautiful timberline 850 for my 40th birthday (she was planning a Vegas trip but a pandemic put a damper on that), but i think the Traeger will be the gift that just keeps on giving.
I live in Alberta Canada where the temperature drops very low, yesterday was -37 deg Celsius. I also have the cover to protect it as it’s outdoors.
I assembled my traeger today and will season it tomorrow. I am not sure how it will work in these temps.
I am not new to smoking meat as I have a Bradley electric smoker but that is useless when the temp drops below freezing. I am excited to hopefully use this year round.
I am basically planning to take my existing propane BBQ to my camper and use the traeger for smoking and bbq, but not sure how it will work for common hamburgers or steaks (beef tenderloin).
I plan to buy a few accessories, any suggestions on MUST haves??? Any other beginner tips? should I just dive into a brisket or pork butt, thinking turkey for Xmas and maybe prime rib for New Year’s Day.
I look forward to sharing my progress and contributing to the community.
thanks,
Les
