Treager Grille

[skidoorulz]

Anyone on here have one? I bought one in October and have cooked with it some. Is there a trick to getting more smoke flavoring? Any tips would be appreciated. Smoked a turkey for New Years eve and I think that was the best turkey I have ever eaten. Better than a deep fried turkey even. JMHO

Hickory seems to give the best flavor of all the pellets i have tried. Cook it low and slow.

Try some good bacon. It will be the best bacon you have ever had. Make sure to line the grease pan wiith foil.

The prime rib rub is great too.

The best results I get with mine is to smoke your seasoned/brined/injected meat the day before on the lowest (smoke) setting for a couple hours and then put it in a sealed Tupperware type container or Zip-Loc bag overnight and finish it the next day on regular heat. Really locks in the smoke flavor.

Good ribs are a 2 day deal for me. The first night they soak in Pineapple juice, low heat smoke the next day with them seasoned, overnight in the fridge, then finished on high on a regular BBQ with Jack Daniels #7 and a few added goodies brushed on just before serving from the BBQ. The Best.

You really should try a Papa Murphy's pizza on your grill too. My local store will sell me just the crust with the garlic sauce/oil on it to play with. I took left over ribs this week cut them into thin strips and added bacon, onions, left over JD#7, and a mix of cheese and smoked that bad boy until the crust was just right. Good stuff man. Good luck. EW

Thats the main reason I cold smoke. For meat I will smoke about 7-8 hrs. I would NEVER use hickory though. Too pungent, use alder/aspen/apple/plum. Then again, you are cooking and smoking so you probably only have it going for a couple hours most. Maybe you can set it low enough just to create smoke, and not cook?

Best commercial pit you can buy IMO. Of course, there are the custom built pits out of TX that rock, but those are a serious commitment to wood cutting and pit tending. The best part is just order/buy your pellets, turn it on and go do something else for 2-24 hrs until the succulent BBQ is ready.

Everyone has a secret recipe and the only way to find your is keep cooking. Just remember that BBQ is art and cannot be rushed, gotta go low and slow!

My favorite pellet blend is Apple/Mesquite--good combination of heat and flavor.http://www.snowest.com/forum/images/smilies/beer.gif
