My name is Bill, I've been smoking in my built in smoker for years. My BIL has a Traeger and has always made fantastic food. With the heat coming on here in AZ, I needed a better way to smoke w/o having to be out in the heat. To solve my problem I just ordered a Traeger Jr. It's just me and my GF so I didn't need a very big unit. I look forward to cranking it up starting with a pulled pork butt. I should recieve it in time for next weekend. I'll be back with my results. happy slow cooking everyone.

Thanks everyone. Wish I already had my Traeger smoker. Would have made for a great holiday. My Brick & mortar smoker is great but it's a lot of work. On windy days like today it's hard to maintain consistent temps. It's also more expensive if I'm using anything other than Mesquite. (Mesquite is everywhere in Tucson AZ) You can bet I'll post pics asap.

If any of you enjoy a good cigar while smoking your food, let me know. I enjoy a good cigar while smoking my meats. I also build humidors as a hobby. I've always wondered about using some of my scraps for smoking food. Some exotic woods smell great when cutting them. Not sure if it would taste good or be safe for food.
