Looks good. Will give it a try.

I don’t have a Traeger, but the recipe does look worthy. I’ve stored it.

John this looks like it could be a big hit at the next campsite.

It was super, even if the Traeger died after about 4 hours of smoking.
The Traeger folks said it
sounded like an 'air pocket' formed when one of the pellets blocked the
flow. This has happened more
than once. I'm not nearly as keen on Traegers as I once was.

That sounds strange. Maybe the Traeger is made really differently than
my pellet grill, but the auger on mine that feeds the pellets is about 3
inches in diameter. The opening at the top of the ramp where they come
out of the auger to fall down the ramp into the burn cup is half that
size (half a circle). There's no way a single pellet can block anything.
There's no opening anywhere near that small in the entire feed system.

If I were to let the pellet supply nearly run out in the hopper I could
see getting some gaps in the pellet auger, but I just keep an eye on the
hopper and add as needed.


Only time I had that happen, the pellets were turning in to sawdust. I
have had s couple bags of the Treager pellets do that. Contact Treager
and they will replace.

I strain the dust out before putting in the hopper.

If you have a lot of dust, the pellets are bad. Odd, to me, that the
pellets in the hopper never seem to break down, but a bag of pellets next
to the BBQ will fall apart.

Living in the south with the humidity we have, I keep my pellets in one of those plastic tubs with the sealing top and wheels, and it stays indoors except when in use. And I've settled on these pellets:

I'll put those down for my next order. I'm using a Home Depot bucket with lid for storage. It stays
in the garage, as does the grill.

The pellets I'm using have very little dust, but I'm in search of perfection. Just haven't found it
yet.
