I'm planning on trying jerky in the near future. If I make several pounds of it and use a seal a meal, how long will the shelf life be? I've ordered those little packets that absorb the extra oxygen after you seal it. I'll be using a Traegar Big Tex and would welcome any hints. After making...

I've had my traegar for a little over a year now and have smoked/cooked a lot of food on it. This weekend I want to do some beef ribs, and haven't cooked them on a pellet grill yet, or at all for at least 5 years. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks MIke

Ok already, it's a traegar big tex. I've only had it a little over a year now and have tried several brands of pellets. All I have now on hand is BBQ Delight. When I purchased the grill I bought a lot of Traegar pellets and we used the grill as an oven as well as a smoker. Then I got a Weber...

I have a traeger 075 that I purchased a couple months ago. While out today I went to a bbq shop and saw a couple accessories I had to have. The obvious one was the front shelf, man I've finally got somewhere to stack my crap up. The other one they called smoking shelves. It is two shelves...

I was hoping for a quick answer to my question. I have a traeger 075 and have used it many times to cook chicken at 350 deg, plus I have smoked it a 225 a few times. I like the smokier meat at 225, but do not care for the skin. When cooking pieces, has anyone tried to cook at 225 for say, an...

I've roasted plenty of birds, both whole and cut in half but last night I spatchcocked a chicken for the first time. I threw the bone section on next to the split bird and removed them at the same time. My favorite piece, or bite of turkey and chicken are the 2 small pockets, oysters where the...

I'm gonna have to get my son to come over and show me how to use the camera again. When I take a pic, and hook it up to my computer it goes through a bunch of stuff before I can see the pics, then they come up in a random order, so I can't just go to the end to find my new ones. Sorry, but...

I've smoked plenty of rib racks on my old smoker, but never on my Traegar yet. I see on here where a lot of you pull and wrap your ribs in foil, then take the foil off to let them "set". What's the time limit here? How long on smoke, how long in foil, etc? What do you like to put in the foil...

Ok, I need some timing tips. We decided to have a non-traditional Easter dinner, my first test with a month or so old Traegar. For now we decided on pork ribs and whole chickens. I'm not new to smoking, just to pellet cooking and I'd like to appear like I know what I'm doing. I've got the...

I just got my first pellet grill a Traegar Tex 075. I can get all flavors of the Traegar pellets locally for $15 a 20 lb bag. I see everyone on here using everything but Traegar pellets. What is your opinion of the different pellet brands, and is it based on hearsay, or experience? thank you

Close to 15 years ago I bought a 36" propane kingfisher kountry kooker, while ogling the traegars. They were close in price, but I went with the propane and it's been great, but now worn out. As I was going through Costco a little over a month ago, they had a Traegar tex 075 for $799, about...

I'm looking for ideas for pellet storage. They will be kept outside, on a covered patio, but snow and rain definitely comes under the roof. I would prefer something stackable, but it's not necessary. I've looked at some that look like file cabinets, but I'm sure they will let moisture in. 5...

Local grocer has whole salmon or roasts on sale so we picked up a 3lb roast. There's only 2 of us. I've been looking, but all the recipes I see are for fillets. I'm pretty new to pellet cookers, but I've done a few things. Trying some pulled pork next weekend to impress some family. I have...

I'm new to pellet cooking. Years ago when I bought a Kingfisher Kountry Kooker, a propane grill, smoker I almost bought a Traeger tex instead. Well my Kingfisher needs rebuilt, or replaced and I was in Costco and they had a Traeger for less than one cost 14 years ago and I jumped on it. Until...

Hi everyone. I just got my first pellet smoker, a Traeger from Costco. My older smoker is all but dead now, a propane Kingfisher Kountry Kooker. I bought it somewhere around 14 years ago and it's been a great addition to my family. The ones made now have stainless steel burners, wood boxes...
