I have been cooking on various Weber charcoal kettles for 20 plus years and just made the change to the Timberline 850. I will say the Timberline cooks my food perfectly. Everything comes out tender and never dry. However, I have tried various Traeger brand pellets, extended my smoking times with lower temps, yet I don't ever get much smoke or wood flavor. At this point it feels like my Traeger is a very good outdoor oven, but not really a wood burning grill. Are there any tips for optimizing the flavor of the wood pellets being used and getting more of a smokey taste in the foods I cook? Right now I am missing the flavors my charcoal Webers used to produce.
