I'm not even a huge fan of ham (I'll only eat it at Thanksgiving/xmas) but damn I can't stop looking at that ham.

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

After a year with a stick burner offset I am thinking about switching to a pellet grill. I still enjoy it, but fighting fires and dealing with long hours on a thing like brisket have me wanting to switch. Would love to have the ability to throw a brisket on at midnight and not have to worry about it, and it is ready for dinner the next day.

Anyone have experience with pellet grills?

The IT department head at work uses pellets. He loves it and always says how easy everything is now.

I'm sold on a Treagor pellet smoker once I prove smoking is more than a couple times a year thing and the money is right.

I still enjoy the process of smoking with my barrel grill.

Has anyone here used a Traeger smoker before? I'm intrigued by the (relative) ease of it, but I wonder about the results. Would be good to hear some first-hand accounts from real smoked meat aficionados. (hold your jokes)

Also - did you do anything to that ham, or just throw it in the smoker? The bark looks like there was some glaze or brown-sugar based coating, but having never actually smoked a ham, I have no idea if the natural sugars/salt on the surface results in a nice bark like that.

I’ve got a buddy who has one, and he loves it to death.

Once again proving the universal truth: guys love smoked/barbecued meat.

That ham is out of the package and right into the smoker. Smoked for 3.5 hours or so and the photo is before I put the glaze on. I just used what came with it for that, mixed with some water. Applied it and let it sit in the oven (off) for 30 minutes while we finished up the rest of the food.

Cooked a big breakfast for the family yesterday morning. Shrimp and grits, biscuits, sausage gravy, sausage, steak and eggs. Everybody loved it, we cooked most of the day going back for leftovers

I've been using a Masterbuild Electric Smoker and I'm ready to move up to a pellet Smoker now and have been looking at the Traeger. Friend has one and he loves it, I like the fact that I can get the temperature higher than I can on my Electric Smoker so I can get the skin crispy on Chickens and Turkeys...also love the ease of it.

I don't think I will ever be ready for log smoking, that seems like way more work than I want to have to deal with cooking. Have a friend of mine who was picking saying Electric smoking isn't really smoking then I reminded him he likes my cooking better than his...he was like damn. Pellet smoking is my next and final step. https://www.rectecgrills.com/bull-rt...roduct-reviews is also one I'm looking at

One thing I really like about the Traeger or some other Pellet smokers is you can also use them as a grill which is a big plus for me. Don't always feel like smoking but can still throw it on the grill.

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

Bought a precision cooker a few backs. Tried some steak out on it first. Damn near perfect and very easy to use

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

Did you cook it at 150?

Try patting the entire thing dry before searing, and sear on very high heat. Preferably a cast iron pan. Sorry, but that sear is just wimpy lol

I thought about getting one. Decided not to spend the money.

What I found is look outside of Traeger. They are nothing special. Seems like they were just the first to make them popular and had some patents for a while. Now there is real competition out there. Do a lot of research, don't just blindly buy the brand name.
