My gas grill was on it's last leg after 10 plus years of great grilling. I have had interest in a smoker and stumbled on the Trager at my local Costco. I pulled the trigger and bought the 075 Texas. I have tried a few things on it and still have a lot to learn, I came across this forum and think you all can help me make perfect the art of smoking/BBQing. So far the best thing was the beer can chicken out of the Traeger book it was moist, tender and very tasty. My salmon and turkey breast can out a little dry. So tomorrow I want to do a couple of racks of Baby Backs. I have cherry, hickory, apple and misquite pellets. I'm a Firefighter (Battalion Chief) and a pretty good chef in the kitchen but this smoker is a whole new thing for me. Any suggestions I can get will be appreciated. Looking forward to participating in this great forum. Thanks,
