Got some salmon smoking right now at 175. Going to let it cook until 4pm and then finish it off with a little higher heat and a glaze.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

How you liking it so far??

I started one going at Echo between the neighbors. Got a lot of people hooked. One neighbor invited me to that Ribs Pigs and Watermelon smoke off in Huntington beach. Lots of great info there. Might have to join there team. They have bomb ass brisket but need a chicken specialist. Did my first chicken last night and it came out amazing. Got Baby backs, pork shoulder and butt mastered on my little smoker. Need to master chicken and brisket.


I bought a Char Broil big easy infared smoker roaster from Lowes. Worked so good bought a second for the river pad. It is cheating in comparison to charcoal but comes out perfect every time.

Just picked up this little guy at Home Depot for $70. Curing it right now. Nothing special but it should do the job until I save up $1800 for the one I really want.

Thats the one I have and don't even use anymore....lol

It was real cheap and I figure it will work for now.

This is the style I want in just not sure yet if I want to do wood burning like this or electric.

$70 isn't bad at all.

Did some ribs last night and they turned out great. I was kind of in a rush to cook them so next time will go slow and steady. We will see how this salmon turns out.

Looks like it takes up a lot of room and is designed to cook for a big group. At $1800 plus $3-400 at Costco on meat to fill it adds up quick.

I bought two of these at Lowes at end of season a few years ago for $130 a piece. Favorite is Costco or Sams Baby backs cooked in it. Seems to keep the meat moist compared to most smokers. Only issue is it needs chips refilled if you want it to smoke the whole time for a really smokey taste.

What did you have to do to break it in?

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

What did you have to do to break it in?

I put strips of bacon on the grill, turned it up to 350 and let it cook for 30 mins. Then rubbed the bacon all over the grates. After that.....good to go.

 

[NicPaus]

Not a big fan of the Traeger but here is a deal for IE inmates. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/app/5325263194.html

No shit? ... that's it?

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Yeah....I thought it would be more involved than that but Mckayla said that is all that needs to be done. Ribs I cooked were a little over done for my taste, but meat still fell off the bone.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

I'll trade you mine for a tall can. :champagne:

 

[drtywhat]

I finally put mine together this morning. Seasoned it up for 2 hours between low and high heat. My first smoke will be a beer can chicken with apple and oak pellets. Smoked bell peppers and taters.

 

[HavasuHank]

Bring it over.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

I have smoke coming out of the bottom and top of the hood. According to the instructions this is very rare. Anybody else have this happen??

I have a little bit too. Some of the forums people have tried a thin high temp gasket seal around the lid opening. You ever see the amount of smoke coming out of most smokers. It's actually alot.

I am going to call them tomorrow and see what they say. Going to do a beer can chicken tomorrow.

 

[Cole Trickle]

I don't have any smoke leakage.

There are tools out there you can use to add more smoke if you want.

That's probably what I am going to get. Especially cooking at higher heats for poultry. The higher the heat less smoke. Do you use the AMAZN tube smoker in yours?

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

maan...wtf you think I'm a delivery service too?

 

[Cray Paper]

Ok.....I am thinking about getting crazy here and just buying the damn Green Mountain. More and more I look at it, the more I want it. The black WIFI Daniel Boone is stretching it so don't know if I can do that one and I am afraid that the Davy Crockett will be too small. Has anyone used the Davy Crockett before? Big enough to do a 10 - 12 lb Turkey?

I have been here before and trust me, you wont go wrong with any green mountain grill. I hate that saying, "trust me", but man I resisted buying a pellet grill for two years even though friends had though friends had them. Just couldn't justify the cost. After having a quality pellet grill, I swear by them. Traeger isn't a quality grill anymore so the GMG is the only middle of the road grill out their now. I have called their tech line on Saturdays and a real person answers. They are worth buying from.

GMG are solid and you wont go wrong with purchasing one. I've never used the blue tooth controls, but a good aftermarket remote thermometer will do everything you need. Even wake you up in the middle of the night on a 20+ pound 18 hour cook when your dog knocks the cord out of your outside outlet that powers the grill.

 

[Bobby V]

What did you have to do to break it in?

For the Traeger all it takes is to put it on smoke for about 15 minutes. You just want to burn of the new smoker smell.

Wow ohhh wow! The best chicken I have ever cooked. I did a salt, pepper, season salt, yellow dry mustard, paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder. But made a paste with olive oil and smeared all over, inside, and under the skin. Fucking fantastic. Kinda the same rub I do on my ribs minus the olive oil.

How long did you cook it for and at what temp? Looks amazing!!

325 for 1 hour. Then down to 245 for 1 hour 45 mins.

Nice. Thanks!

 

[prosthogod]

Do you have a digital thermometer on the outside?? What kind of Smoker is it? I see that there are charcoal and electric ones.....etc. Don't know the differences.

I was part of a team of 3 , and we won " The Lock n Ham Jam " BBQ contest in Georgia 20 yrs ago with 2 of those webers. 1 for pork butts and one for ribs. You can do a great turkey in there.[emoji106]🏻

I'm sold.

Whenever I make beer can chicken, I use a lemon pepper seasoning. Djunkie told me about it and it's all I use.

I've tried other seasonings, but love the lemon pepper seasoning.

Gotta water the money tree to get some extra cash for a smoker. That, or just have the gas prices raised. [emoji6] [emoji3]

Big thanks to who started this thread and all the advice. Bought my traeger right before Thanksgiving and I have been smoking some really good things. I made some 6 hour baby back ribs the other day, followed the Traeger cook book, dam they were good. I've done everything from filet, new york, rib eye, tri tip, all organic raised beef, to a turkey, everything has been outstanding. Such a better taste with organic and grass feed meat and poultry. My favorite, home made grandma recipe chocolate chip cookies on the smoker for 13 minutes at 350. Fuck they were good.

Only down fall, the gym has needed to increase from 4 days to 6 days a week.

Cheers

Awesome!! I have been busy smoking everything too. Have done ribs twice, 2 beer can chickens, turkey, tri tip, salmon, pork butt and just this past weekend, chicken legs. I am still learning a ton and there is so much more for me to work on to start putting out some amazing food. I am going through pellets like water though!!

Wow.....smoking deal. Everything is cheaper in Arizona....lol.
