    Pork smoking

    I wanted to do some pulled pork the other day - it was really cheap. this is the first I tried on the Traeger. I wanted to do pulled pork and it did not work so well. It was a LOT different! I set the Traeger to 220. It seemed good. I dry brined the pork for about 2 hours. I usually injected it...

    dry or wet brining

    Hi Guys, I have read a bunch of the stuff on dry/wet brining, but have a question or two. I guess really just one. After you are dine brining and before you add the dry rub, do you wash/rinse the salt off, I have not seen this question answered. Or I have managed to skip over it in every...

    Cold smoke generator

    Hey Guys, Yes it is me again. I have a rather odd question about smoke generators. Is there a difference between drawing the smoke up or down through the generator. I have seen them with the draw tube at the top and bottom of the generator. I have also seen the DIY builds with both. So I am...

    ash or charcol

    When you burn chips or blocks. Do you end up with ash or charcol ? And if you end with charcol, do you dump it or burn the next time? I think I read about it but could not find it again.

    Master Built 30" digital blue tooth

    I was given a Master Built digital smoker, model #20072115. The cover for the electronics degraded and is gone, so it does not turn on. Photos attached, (I hope). Yeah, it is pretty filthy. I will be doing a complete cleaning a little later (this weekend). I cleaned the controller...

    I am building a PID controller. I have read lots of the posts and do not totally get all of them. My question has to do with mounting the temp probe in the smoker. I am going to have drill a hole. But what do I need mount it? I know (or think) that I should NOT use galvanized pipe. But to use? I...
