I’m looking into a traeger smoker but have no room anymore on the patio.

@Shock6050 i like to go off temperature and feel… if a brisket is 200 and still probes like I’m poking a brick, then it stays on… once the probe goes in like I’m poking room temp butter, she done! I’ve taken bigger briskets (20+ lbs) all the way to 210 before, just gotta play the touchy freely game.

Not to hijack @Causkatz thread, but I had some fun with a slab of bacon and 75 chicken wings last night. No pictures of the wings, but here’s the belly

Im just jealous of all of you with smokers got the go ahead from the wifey a smoker will be coming home soon lol

 

[Bigmurph6]

Im looking at these also seems like its basically automatic.

Im probably going to go cheaper with the r2d2 looking smoker and get the probes and Bluetooth or wireless thermometers

 

[Bigmurph6]

No hijack were discussing smoking please carry on I love these posts and thanks @Causkatz for starting it lol

Bacon cubes oh my god I bet its amazing

 

[JB_rD81]

I need to take a photo of the finished product. Burnt ends. Yes, basically bacon cubes. Smoked to 150, then covered in brown sugar, molasses and honey, and put back in the smoker at a higher temp to let everything thicken up… in no way, shape or form healthy, but absofuckinglutely delicious!

 

[Bigmurph6]

I know burnt ends they look really different than what im used to seeing though I believe that is a special recipe?

 

[JB_rD81]

Nah, no special recipe… just depends on what kind of burnt ends you’re having, Brisket, Belly or Butt/shoulder. I make them all the same way, but the pork belly ones turn out the best, because it’s basically bite sized chunks of bacon candy… hahaha

 

[Bigmurph6]

Brisket, Belly or Butt/shoulder

See this is what I need to learn I only know brisket burnt ends

 

[woodwalker1889]

Yeah seems like you can’t screw them up. Kinda takes away from. The skill but for the price should be like that.

So I heard Kingsford has released real Hard wood pellets.
They said that the pellet smokers on the market are using bunk wood its a mix of different things they claimed. Then they claimed there wood pellets were actually hard wood.

Does anyone know anything about this?
