Hi,
I just started to use my new Traeger Timberline 850. I am looking for some guidance on when I should place food on which racks.
I am unclear when I should use the lowest rack (closest to the burner) vs the rack just above that (2nd lowest rack)
As an example, I have grilled hamburgers, I believe I was supposed to use the lowest rack at a high temperature (I used lowest rack @ 500F for burgers - 8 mins each side). These turned out great!
I have also smoked/ cooked the following the last few days
Please advise when I should use the lowest racks, or 2nd lowest, or even the third or fourth racks appropriately.
Thank you,
Les

I have also smoked/ cooked the following the last few days
- beef short ribs (I used the 2nd lowest rack, I was concerned the lowest rack would be to hot)
- Pork belly burnt ends - I smoked / cooked for 2 hrs on 2nd lowest grill then wrapped in foil for next 2 hrs on 2nd lowest rack
- Smoked Ham (2nd lowest rack for approx 1.5 Hrs) and scalloped potatoes wrapped in foil (2nd lowest rack for approx 2 Hrs)
- A 4 bone prime rib
- 2 pork butts
- A brisket
Please advise when I should use the lowest racks, or 2nd lowest, or even the third or fourth racks appropriately.
Thank you,
