    Beef Tenderloin vs Brisket

    So I was planning on doing a brisket this weekend, my butcher charges about $7-8 a pound. I was just at the store picking up lunch and noticed that the grocery store had whole beef tenderloins on for 9.99 a lb. Would I be better off going with that? I've never cooked one before but guessing...

    Living up here in Canada when I went to purchase a smoker last year my only choice was Traeger to get local support. Fast forward a year and a local retailer is now carrying Louisiana. I already have my traeger and I am not going to switch but would I be better off switching to the Louisiana...

    question on how long pellets last

    Has anyone noticed types of woods lasting a lot longer then others? I bought a bag of pecan traeger and it was gone in about 1/2 the cooking time that I normally get out of a bag.

    Marinated ribs advice

    The wife picked up some side ribs from the butcher that marinated already. Any tips for how to cook them? Never cooked ribs before that already have the sauce on them. Thinking I should foil them right away and cook at 225 for about 4hrs, then unfoil them for another hour?

    I am looking at getting my first grill and have about a 1000 to spend. I was originally looking at a weber bbq but I think I'd rather try something different and the reviews on these seem very positive. I am leaning towards a lil tex traeger but am open to other ideas as well. I am concerned...
