I don’t have a Traeger, but the recipe does look worthy. I’ve stored it.

John this looks like it could be a big hit at the next campsite.

That's smoked pulled pork with North Carolina style vinegar pepper sauce.
I have a jar of homemade sauce in the fridge that's basically the
same. Good stuff, you guys will like it.

In NC, it's traditionally served on a bun with the sauce and slaw. In
most of SC, the pork is served with a mustard based sauce. Everywhere
else it's tomato based sauce. It's all good, just different.

Of course, you could always just boil the pork with a tiny pinch of salt,
maybe sprinkle with a touch of pepper if you're feeling adventurous, and
call it Maryland fat-boy BBQ.

Yuck.


All this food talk, took a nice T-bone out of the freezer. Wife marinated
it in a healthy marinade. Friend of ours was a scientist at the Livermore
National labs. Worked on an anti cancer marinade for bbq. Supposed to
counteract some of,the stuff from the fat dripping on the fire. Also
tastes good. Does not overpower the meat. Apple cider vinegar, brown
sugar, garlic, olive oil and a touch of salt is all I think.

We spun up a chicken on the rotisserie while we were out in the boat
and it came out great. Better than that dried out bird you get at the
costco or at the grocery store.

Costco chickens are not dried out. In fact, they are mostly undercooked. The directions say to put
in oven for an hour. I've seen reddish meat in Costco chickens, but never had one be 'dry', and I've
gone through a bunch of them. Maybe you should have a discussion with your local Costco boss.

Safeway and Giant - yes. Very dry. And often they won't put the 'prepared time' on the bird. ****es
me off. Damn unions.


The antibiotic-free "ready to eat" chickens at the local Market Basket
around here are really dry. I don't bother with them anymore.

On weekends and occasionally during the week they have cooked Purdue
over roasters "ready to eat". Much, much better.

Never saw any directions that indicate a requirement to put in oven for
an hour.



I hadn't seen those directions either until I called Costco to complain about the birds not being
thoroughly cooked. I think Costco must use the Perdue roasters also. Their birds seem to be about
50% bigger than what's at the local stores.

They make a great pot of chicken soup!

It was super, even if the Traeger died after about 4 hours of smoking. The Traeger folks said it
sounded like an 'air pocket' formed when one of the pellets blocked the flow. This has happened more
than once. I'm not nearly as keen on Traegers as I once was.

That sounds strange. Maybe the Traeger is made really differently than my pellet grill, but the auger on mine that feeds the pellets is about 3 inches in diameter. The opening at the top of the ramp where they come out of the auger to fall down the ramp into the burn cup is half that size (half a circle). There's no way a single pellet can block anything. There's no opening anywhere near that small in the entire feed system.

If I were to let the pellet supply nearly run out in the hopper I could see getting some gaps in the pellet auger, but I just keep an eye on the hopper and add as needed.

My auger is only 1 3/4" dia, but the auger opening is about 1 1/2" X 3". I'm thinking she's
bull****ting about an 'air pocket'. It would be one hell of a coincidence of the pellets aligned
themselves in such a manner as to quit flowing into the auger. I'm leaning more towards a bad
controller, although Traeger has already replace one controller. From what I can see, the Traeger
controller, unlike the Pellet Pro or Savannaha Stoker does not have an automatic 'restart' mode when
the temp drops.

Thanks, that's one I hadn't read yet. My controller is already a digital. I just got off the phone
with Traeger, and they are going to send me another controller. We'll see what happens with this
one. If I still have problems, I'll switch to the Savannah Stoker or the Pellet Pro.

I'm sure not going to spend the bucks on a big brisket just to have the fire die out!
