New traeger guy from Alaska

[AK_BBQ]

I recently acquired a 075 Texas model. I made my first set of ribs on the traeger yesterday. Did the 3-2-1 method with 1 hour cold smoke prior.

So far I love the maintained temps for long periods of time. Much like an oven. It also produces an ok amount of smoke.., however not enough to my liking even with the hour of cold smoking.

Once I figure out how to add more smoke to the meat I don't see myself going back to charcoal and wood.

Welcome and congrats on the new smoker. Pellet smoking makes long cooks enjoyable. If you think you need additional smoke, get an Amaz-N-Tube. It is a tube that you stuff with pellets and light it and let it burn as you do your cook. It adds additional smoke. Enjoy!

I'll take those ribs off your hands while you go looking for more smoke. LOL. They look outstanding.

Thanks for the info. I actually already ordered a amazn smoker. It's on the truck and should be at home today... Now I just need something to test it with.

I was thinking oak pellets to give my cheese biscuits a smoke flavor.

I live in Anchorage. The "big city".

Managed to use the a-maze-n smoker tube last night. Awesome product.
