    Question about Traeger/Pellet Grills

    ​A lot ofu the reason for not being able to tell the diff in pellets is that Traeger uses oils to make flavored pellets.. NOT apple wood etc.

    Had a problem w/my 075 Traeger..

    EXTREMELY happy!! 6 years and other than the one ignitor not an issue one. ONE tip is to line the inside with bricks.. bit slower to heat but retains and keeps temp much steadier when the cold weather hits. NO diff than a pellet stove in a house.. brick lined for a reason.

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    Actually I am... on smoke setting up to 225 it smokes nicely..at HIGH temps it cooks like it's supposed to w/minimal smoke. Combine the cooking w/ the smoking at different times and it does a great job. The ones that complain about NO smoke have them cranked up....drop the temp back DOWN where...

    Trarger Grills

    I have an 075 and have had NO issues with the temps.. I DID put some bricks in the bottom tho due to the cold temps this time of year to help stabalize the temps. The elect/door top thermometer temps are quite different however the INTERNAL temp stays quite close to the electronic temp. I do...

    11 lb rib roast.. HOW long to slow cook it???

    Put it on at 12:00 at FULL throttle between 400-450 deg ... 20 min and turned it to 225 stayed almost RIGHT on temp.. hit 130 at 4:20 pulled and came out perfect... USUALLY they seem to finish QUICKER than I  want.. I think the temps were helped out by the brick I put inside to partially line...

    11 lb rib roast.. HOW long to slow cook it???

    Sorry my bad.. the cooker seems to maintain temp fairly well.. the temp on TOP of the door (thermo) is alway hotter than it is inside.. I keep an oven thermometer inside AND have a good meat thermometer as well..NEVER have trusted an indoor oven on temp..no reason to trust an outdoor one either...

    11 lb rib roast.. HOW long to slow cook it???

    It's not well insulated... put some bricks inside to retain the heat better... 225 was what I was thinking temp wise..so time would be a bit less than 45min/lb?? I've oven'd many of them.. and cook several outside.. but used higher temps and WARMER outside as well.. lol

    Ribeye or Rib Roast?

    To me it doesnt matter WHAT the packaging says.... LOOK for good marbling and modest fat cap. The marbling is what makes the roast. Brent
