New Traeger owner

[Trexx]

Hi,
I live in Victoria BC on Vancouver Island

Purchased a new Traeger Tailgater 20 from Costco and Meatheads cookbook last fall.

My goal is to reproduce some of the Q I dined on in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma while I worked there.

So far its not really working out.
So I will be asking for a bit of advice in another thread.

I am a little north of you on the island.
If you are trying to replicate a flavor from a pit using wood as opposed to pellets, you are not going to get there with any pellet grill.
You will get great results from a pellet grill and have many great meals. They will just be different in the way the smoke flavor is compared to a stick burning pit.
Adding a smoke tube will help, but still won't be the same

Welcome to the forum!

Does your tailgater have a dial or push buttons?
