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.

That's smoked pulled pork with North Carolina style vinegar pepper sauce. I have a jar of homemade sauce in the fridge that's basically the same. Good stuff, you guys will like it.

In NC, it's traditionally served on a bun with the sauce and slaw. In most of SC, the pork is served with a mustard based sauce. Everywhere else it's tomato based sauce. It's all good, just different.

Of course, you could always just boil the pork with a tiny pinch of salt, maybe sprinkle with a touch of pepper if you're feeling adventurous, and call it Maryland fat-boy BBQ.

Yuck. :)

All this food talk, took a nice T-bone out of the freezer. Wife marinated
it in a healthy marinade. Friend of ours was a scientist at the Livermore
National labs. Worked on an anti cancer marinade for bbq. Supposed to
counteract some of,the stuff from the fat dripping on the fire. Also
tastes good. Does not overpower the meat. Apple cider vinegar, brown
sugar, garlic, olive oil and a touch of salt is all I think.

We spun up a chicken on the rotisserie while we were out in the boat
and it came out great. Better than that dried out bird you get at the
costco or at the grocery store.

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.

But, the pulled pork was spectacular. Once I wrap it in tinfoil, it goes in the oven. Can't see
using pellets for that part of the operation.

LOL! I didn't make the sauce. I'm thinking it would be too hot for my wife. And, neither of us eat
it on the bread, just on a plate. I made a mess of fried apples and cole slaw to go with.

This might be a good recipe for Krause:

Costco chickens are not dried out. In fact, they are mostly undercooked. The directions say to put
in oven for an hour. I've seen reddish meat in Costco chickens, but never had one be 'dry', and I've
gone through a bunch of them. Maybe you should have a discussion with your local Costco boss.

Safeway and Giant - yes. Very dry. And often they won't put the 'prepared time' on the bird. ****es
me off. Damn unions.

I've started buying beef loin steaks, boneless, or I cut out the bone. Then I use one of these:

or: http://tinyurl.com/ycjb5uoe

Do each side three times. You wouldn't believe how tender the steak becomes, even if it's cheap to
begin with.

The antibiotic-free "ready to eat" chickens at the local Market Basket
around here are really dry. I don't bother with them anymore.

On weekends and occasionally during the week they have cooked Purdue
over roasters "ready to eat". Much, much better.

Never saw any directions that indicate a requirement to put in oven for
an hour.

I hadn't seen those directions either until I called Costco to complain about the birds not being
thoroughly cooked. I think Costco must use the Perdue roasters also. Their birds seem to be about
50% bigger than what's at the local stores.

They make a great pot of chicken soup!

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.

My auger is only 1 3/4" dia, but the auger opening is about 1 1/2" X 3". I'm thinking she's
bull****ting about an 'air pocket'. It would be one hell of a coincidence of the pellets aligned
themselves in such a manner as to quit flowing into the auger. I'm leaning more towards a bad
controller, although Traeger has already replace one controller. From what I can see, the Traeger
controller, unlike the Pellet Pro or Savannaha Stoker does not have an automatic 'restart' mode when
the temp drops.

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

That's smoked pulled pork with North Carolina style vinegar pepper
sauce.
*** I have a jar of homemade sauce in the fridge that's basically the

In NC, it's traditionally served on a bun with the sauce and slaw.* In
most of SC, the pork is served with a mustard based sauce.* Everywhere
else it's tomato based sauce.* It's all good, just different.

Of course, you could always just boil the pork with a tiny pinch of
salt,
maybe sprinkle with a touch of pepper if you're feeling
adventurous, and
call it Maryland fat-boy BBQ.

Yuck.* :)


All this food talk, took a nice T-bone out of the freezer.* Wife
marinated
it in a healthy marinade.** Friend of ours was a scientist at the
Livermore
National labs.** Worked on an anti cancer marinade for bbq.
Supposed to
counteract some of,the stuff from the fat dripping on the fire.* Also
tastes good.** Does not overpower the meat.** Apple cider vinegar,
brown
sugar, garlic, olive oil and a touch of salt is all I think.

We spun up a chicken on the rotisserie while we were out in the boat
and it came out great. Better than that dried out bird you get at the
costco or at the grocery store.

Costco chickens are not dried out. In fact, they are mostly
undercooked. The directions say to put
in oven for an hour. I've seen reddish meat in Costco chickens, but
never had one be 'dry', and I've
gone through a bunch of them. Maybe you should have a discussion with
your local Costco boss.

Safeway and Giant - yes. Very dry. And often they won't put the
'prepared time' on the bird. ****es
me off. Damn unions.


The antibiotic-free "ready to eat" chickens at the local Market Basket
around here are really dry.* I don't bother with them anymore.

On weekends and occasionally during the week they have cooked Purdue
over roasters "ready to eat".* Much, much better.

Never saw any directions that indicate a requirement to put in oven for
an hour.






JohnnyMop's fully cooked chickens are special, and need extra cooking time.

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.


My auger is only 1 3/4" dia, but the auger opening is about 1 1/2" X 3". I'm thinking she's
bull****ting about an 'air pocket'. It would be one hell of a coincidence of the pellets aligned
themselves in such a manner as to quit flowing into the auger. I'm leaning more towards a bad
controller, although Traeger has already replace one controller. From what I can see, the Traeger
controller, unlike the Pellet Pro or Savannaha Stoker does not have an automatic 'restart' mode when
the temp drops.


Take a look at this thread on a pellet forum.
http://pelletheads.com/index.php?topic=539.0


Thanks, that's one I hadn't read yet. My controller is already a digital. I just got off the phone
with Traeger, and they are going to send me another controller. We'll see what happens with this
one. If I still have problems, I'll switch to the Savannah Stoker or the Pellet Pro.

I'm sure not going to spend the bucks on a big brisket just to have the fire die out!

To be honest I never tried one at costco, simply because every
prepared chicken I have ever bought was dried out. I prefer eating it
right off the spit.

Yup that is what I use instead of buying cubed steaks. Get a sirloin
tip roast or whatever is on sale, slice it and hit it with the
tenderizer. Just be sure the meat is not a cut with gristle in it.

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.

I donÂ’t have a Traeger, but the recipe does look worthy. IÂ’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.

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:

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

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

That's smoked pulled pork with North Carolina style vinegar pepper sauce.
I have a jar of homemade sauce in the fridge that's basically the
same. Good stuff, you guys will like it.

In NC, it's traditionally served on a bun with the sauce and slaw. In
most of SC, the pork is served with a mustard based sauce. Everywhere
else it's tomato based sauce. It's all good, just different.

Of course, you could always just boil the pork with a tiny pinch of salt,
maybe sprinkle with a touch of pepper if you're feeling adventurous, and
call it Maryland fat-boy BBQ.

Yuck. :)


All this food talk, took a nice T-bone out of the freezer. Wife marinated
it in a healthy marinade. Friend of ours was a scientist at the Livermore
National labs. Worked on an anti cancer marinade for bbq. Supposed to
counteract some of,the stuff from the fat dripping on the fire. Also
tastes good. Does not overpower the meat. Apple cider vinegar, brown
sugar, garlic, olive oil and a touch of salt is all I think.


I've started buying beef loin steaks, boneless, or I cut out the bone.
Then I use one of these:

https://smile.amazon.com/Jaccard-200...70_&dpSrc=srch

or: http://tinyurl.com/ycjb5uoe

Do each side three times. You wouldn't believe how tender the steak
becomes, even if it's cheap to
begin with.


Just have the store butcher run it through their tenderizer.


That cubing machine really chews the meat up. The 48 pin tenderizer
barely leaves a mark. I use meat I hit with the 48 pin in things like
stroganoff, fajitias and country fried steak too.

You can get a cheap remote thermometer to alert you if the temp drops
below a number you choose.

Hell, I was at Home Depot and couldn't have done much anyway. With the Traeger controller, the
remedy is to unload everything from the grill, clean out the fire box, and go through the restart
process, all of which is another 10-15 minutes. Then the meat has to reheat.

It was easier just to wrap it and throw it in the oven. Traeger is sending another controller. We'll
see how that works.
