My name is Nick and am new to the world of smokers. It's been about a month now and I've had pretty good success so far and am excited to try new stuff in the smoker.
This looks like a great place for information and new ideas.
I am currently smokin' on a Traeger Jr. I have added the Ortech Digital Thermostat which made a big difference in the temp control.
So far I have cooked 2 5 lb. briskets, some baby backs and about 10lbs of almonds. We also use it about 3 times a week to cook our meals that you would normally cook in an oven. Meatloaf, pork chops, cookies, etc.
