What are you Smoking/Grilling/BBQ'ing this weekend?

What are you up to this weekend?

I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right.

I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.

Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.

No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.

I'm sorry bro, but Traegers are overrated. Everybody has their stories, but I know for a fact they're not worth the money. I have a couple of long stories, but I don't feel like typing it all out. Just know that the WSM or even a PBS is the better option.

With a slower read, you can't do that. You're still kinda guessing on where your middle is. Sure, you can eyeball it, but that's not a real good method. The thermopen is pretty much real-time for that particular application and there's no real way to duplicate it that I've found.

It's the ability to get what amounts to a cutaway view of the meat that will ensure that I always have one.


Same here. On a big thick steak or loaf of bread or whatever, there can be pretty dramatic temperature variation from edge to center. Very easy with a Thermapen to slide in and out to find the range. That ensures that the coolest spot gets temp.

The thing worked flawlessly until I thought I needed temp control. The controller is the problem.


It still sucks. 20 minutes later I am rolling again.

I'm fairly accurate to tell the doneness (sp?) of a steak by touch. I don't make homemade bread, so in the words on Mark Cuban "I'm out"

I know two guys personally who owns Traegers and both had issues with their ignition button. I don't like the fact you need to run it on an electrical source to use.

I don't think I've ever seen a Traeger with an ignition button.

Agreed. Mom wanted me to cook like 40 burgers on her traeger (I don't have one) and had some garbage thermometer that took 15 seconds. I had to go get mine. I would have put out garbage without it.

Do you guys not trust the meat probe temps? Is that why you use thermopens?
I wouldn't use a probe on anything except slow cuts like brisket or pork buttt. I wouldn't do it on burgers or steak or chicken.

Well it was some kind of start button or some shit. Don't have the exact terminology.

I went through a heating element about every 6 months with my Louisiana Grill, but I grill steaks on it at 550-600. The Traeger hasn't had an issue yet with it's element, but it can only get up to 450.

Elements are cheap, but they go out at the worst time: When you want to grill.

I agree. I've had mine for three years now and I'm throwing a party when it dies.

It produces zero smoke flavor. When it dies, I'm buying a Yoder.
