Hey Folks! Jim here, located away up NW in Coeur d'Alene, ID. I'm a fairly recent transplant from Texas and retired military. My primary weapons for smoking and grilling are currently a Traeger Elite and a Vision Kamado. Favorite dishes to make are, of course, Baby Backs, pulled pork, salmon, and "Dragon Eggs" (Think cream cheese, chili pepper, onions, chiles, jalapenos all chopped and mixed, then wrapped in garlic pork sausage and bacon). The Traeger isn't too bad with a few mods, quality pellets and actually makes a pretty mean chocolate chip cookie as well!
