    I'm looking for small bite things I can throw on the smoker and pull out as we desire.

    We aren't a fan of fatties. I've never head of moinks but it looks like what I do but I often stuff them with cheese. Sometimes I do more of a traditional meatball that may or may not be stuffed. I'm planning with ABTs. I just call them poppers because it is easier for those that haven't had...

    I've never done them nor am I 100% sure what needs to be done. It seems very easy but I haven't cared enough to look into it. I'll give it a shot. My wife does want to stay healthy but I want smoked stuff so healthy will have to wait until 2019.

    I do them often but I never knew they were a thing that had a name. Sometimes I go for more of a sweet rub instead of the cheese.

    I love Spam but it swelled the only time I smoked it. Is that because I didn't score it? I just threw the entire chunk in the smoker.

    Including me, it is just two adults and two young children for the 31st. I usually use a combination of a fryer, oven, and smoker to have small bite appetizers throughout the evening. This year I want to simplify it and put all of it on my Camp Chef pellet smoker. I have the sear box and a...

    Questions about Traeger or pellet smokers in general

    It depends on the cut and what I have going on. If I can get it started very early in the morning then I will let it rest in a cooler for several hours. If I get a late start then I foil the last few hours and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Usually, chucks and butts are the biggest offenders.

    Questions about Traeger or pellet smokers in general

    I have my smokers about 200 feet from the house. My issue was the odor caused by the smoked meats. That would stick around for a while even after everything was removed. We would come downstairs the next morning and you could still smell it. I don't know why; we will see what happens this...

    I have something like that from my old grill.

    Questions about Traeger or pellet smokers in general

    I have been using an electric smoker, MES, with a pellet maze for many years. Once in a while, I break out a WSM. I did a chuck roast today on the Woodwind and holy cow I was blown away with the results. The smoke was much cleaner, and the smoke ring was out of this world. I preheated it to...

    Pellet smokers - Put meat directly on the bottom rack?

    I guess I'll have to go with the pan thing. I currently use it for smaller things like meatballs .

    Pellet smokers - Put meat directly on the bottom rack?

    That is how you go from direct to indirect. It has nothing to do with a drip pan.

    Pellet smokers - Put meat directly on the bottom rack?

    My concern is how much room that will take, especially with big pieces of meat. Worst case I use one of my other smokers for overflow. I think this Camp Chef will be good for my immediate family.

    Pellet smokers - Put meat directly on the bottom rack?

    If I put meat on the bottom rack, as shown below, the juices will just fall onto the diffuser which would be a you know what to clean. My thought is to cover it with foil and poking through the holes so you still get the diffusion of heat and smoke. What do you suggest? Would you go that...

    Questions about Traeger or pellet smokers in general

    They have a new feature called slide and grill which gives you a traditional wood-fired grill; that looks interesting. I have two charcoal grills I can use if I want more involvement. I haven't used them much because they require too much involvement.

    Questions about Traeger or pellet smokers in general

    I think I am going with a Camp Chef Woodwind since it has a sear box. The functions are nice, the dump for ashes and for leftover pellets. I see a few here have it and love it so I am excited. I was hoping to stay $100-150 less.
