Posting pics can be a challenge! Photobucket is your friend. Search for the sticky note on how to post pics and have a good time! Should make it fairly easy.

Tenny,

I fixed your pics as best as I could.

Be sure to stick around and keep posting pics of your cooks. Above all else...

Enjoy your new grill!

We did give you Rush! That makes up for it all...

I am yet another Canadian using a lil' Tex. It may not be top of the line but it is still a great way to cook. I have had mine almost 2 years and I love it. We need to get BP to open up a Canadian branch so we can get his awesome stuff with a bit less shipping sting. One piece of advice with the Traeger is order your pellets from BP, don't use Traeger brand. The difference is huge.

And I also offer my apologies for Nickleback. Worst band ever.

thanks for the tip on the pellets. The local dealer gave me 5 free bags of Traeger pellets and a free cover with my purchase so I've got enough for a bit. By the time I use the first 3 bags I will order some more from BP. What brand do you recommend?

What brand do you recommend?

BBQer's Delight, my brother!

I think they give you a better flavor, and because they're oak based (not alder based like most pellet brands), they have a lower ash content and pack more BUT's making them more efficient, so you will use less per cook.

I guarantee once you use premium pellets you won't want to go back.

In fact I'm running low on a flavor or two and need to re-order!

thanks for the tip! at first I thought the price was insane but then noticed it's for 40lbs haha.

I made some maple honey chicken thighs tonight, sooooooooooooooo good.
