    Traeger Lil Tex

        Any one else using a Traeger Lil Tex? I bought mine in 2012. It had an analog temp control. All I have ever had to do was I installed an Ortech T100 controller because I wanted digital. It has by far been the best smoker I have ever owned. I got a 15lb turkey in it right now. Lol...

    Smoked white cheddar cheese

    I bought this Amaz-n pellet tube smoker to use in my Treager. It is awesome for cold smoking. Put on some Cabot extra sharp white cheddar about an hour ago. Will let it set in there a couple more hours and should be ready to remove.

    Jeff's Rub

    My wife does not care for Jeff's rib rub. She says it is too hot for her. So I am removing the cayenne pepper for her. Has anyone else tweaked the recipe? Just wondering if I should add a spice back or just make it and leave the cayenne out. Thoughts  appreciated. Thanks, Steve
