Lowes yesterday to get a faucet Walking back saw a pellet s,oker on clearance.List was 499 priced 124.thats a deal.Came with cover gloves etc.Now just some warm dry weather and pellets and Ill be smoking.Rocky

That is a great deal! What do use for pellets? Do you keep different kinds for different meats/recipes? As soon as the rain stops here I am going to assemble my rectec smoker/grill and get to smokin'! Never used pellets, though - only these hockey puck things that are built for my electric Bradley smoker and I just used their 'all purpose' wood puck.z

Unless you're the kind of guy that likes standing around a smoker for hours on end, you're really gonna like that. Every now and then I make deer jerky. The last batch I made was smoked/dried on a Traeger. That was some kind of special.

...and yes, different wood pellets for different preferences.

My wife bought me a Traeger for Christmas, haven’t had time to put it together yet though.

Havent got any pellets yet.My 2 sons will help me select them.Youngest is pretty much a pro at it so he will help.Have a turkey in the freezer that will get smoked in the spring Maybe even a deer roast.I did smoke on myu charcoal grill with the side smoker made ribs and briskit.Came out pretty good and have had it for years.Rocky

Oh, ummmm.....never mind, well...that's a beautiful smoker.

i'll have '2' to go.....

I bought a Traeger about a year ago. Love it! Mine's wifi so I can monitor/adjust from anywhere....no babysitting required. We do tenderloins,ribs,chicken,etc. One of our favorites....pizza! Delicious! No need to wait for warm weather....fire it up! I've had mine running in the 20s ad 30s without issue! Enjoy!!

Smoking food is a well known source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, a good way to get a dose of butt cancer.

Well, I'm sure there's some science to back that up. But with my diet and daily regimen, I figure I'm more like to succumb to something more arterial...maybe even something accidental.

I heard drinking from a garden hose is bad as well.

A little different, but for Christmas this year we got a stand-alone propane flattop griddle. Also from Lowes coincidentally--they were on sale. 30" of flat, cold-rolled seasoned steel, baby!

Has been super-fun so far--made a couple big breakfasts, shrimp and chicked fried rice, cheesesteak sandwiches the first week.

Takes me back to my old fry-cook days as a teenager, and my wife likes it because there are no pans to wash.

And yes, I'm sure it causes cancer, too....

Yea but one can brag and offer to the ladies their smoked MEAT.

They have 100% Apple wood pellets ?

Lightly smoked chicken .....

Any cigarette smoking instantly makes ANY girl NOT hot!

I dated a gal who smoked and she was fun. Not sure I'd marry a hardcore smoker since that might get to be a bit much, but I didn't have any problems hanging out with a cute gal who smoked.

I am pretty sure the ribs and pork butts will take my heart out first.

Feel free to send the one from the earlier photo my way then.

I bought one saturday here in Sioux Falls for 49.00. Not a big one but it will work for 50 bucks. LAst one n the shelf. not assembled it yet.
