Would you like to joust? "Do you care to talk about BBQ or are you here just to waste everyone's time?" I'm puzzled that "2/3" of this comparatively low-traffic NG even needs kill-files. ('Course maybe that is the reason for the low-traffic.) I've never needed them, but have gotten quite a chuckle out of the games people play with them. |

There are a couple semi-regulars who are hardly ever/almost never worth reading. My time is too precious to be caught reading the same BS over and over. As you imply, I don't see a need to tell someone when I've tuned them out. Try to post on-topic, be congenial and humble--as when joining any new group, and all will be well. Go smoke some pig meat tomorrow, eat it, and tell us what you think about it. That's what I'm planning to do. -John O |

I don't know if that's a normal thing for rubs to contain, but I'd rather get the smoke flavor from the wood itself. I was gonna just use some S&P, as I've seen suggested here, but instead went with Emeril's Rib Rub (sparingly). Cooked them at around 250 degrees for about two hours and the things were fantastic. Today there's beef marinating, and I'm gonna add some veggies and try some kabobs. These will prolly be better on the gas grill, but I'm going to BBQ them just the same.

I have no desire to eat out anymore.) -- Mike | Last words of Thomas Grasso, executed in 1995: '04 FLHTCUI | "I did not get my Spaghetti-O's, I got spaghetti. | I want the press to know this." |

I'll admit I didn't know either, but this site is great for these: http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-quer...&Acronym=IAWTP You know that "HAND" Kev is always using means "Harmonic Assessment of Negative Dialogue"? OK, that's one meaning, but that's the amusing one. ;) |

And now that I've read so much > about real BBQ, and have sorta gotten the hang of operating the thing, I Real barbecue is according to what you were raised with, but there is old fashioned or antique Q which has to done with coals that have been made by burning logs to coals. (Which doesn't add much if any smoke flavor)Then cooking the meat over (Whichdoes flavor by meat juices dropping on coals) or set near the coals. Directly over coals reguires staying right on top of it, basting/mopping and perhaps turning the meat. This was before Weber, Propane tank wood burners, oil drum pig cookers, briquettes, etc... > felt a little guilty about starting out with such an easy-to-use system. > > I did smoke some pig yesterday--baby backs again (and I left the > membrane on).

Read my comments below. > Got it. I have been able to get decent smoke-flavor from my Traeger though. The "smoke" setting cycles the auger off and on (longer on off). Every couple of minutes as new pellets are added to the now-smoldering firebox, there is a wealth of smoke. I've figured out how to force that reaction (sort of) to get smoke on-demand. It's not perfect, and I intend to do a little re-wiring of the smoker control (so that I can have exact on/off control of the blower and auger). I plan on getting the auto thermostat too, so if I screw up my current control it's no biggie. I do love when the thing goes into mega-smoke eye-tearing mode! >> from the wood itself.

I had a > Reliant pellet cooker in the past. It was fun to use, but lacked the > smoke flavor that I preferred. I'm OK with the smoke from my Traeger so far, but I'm still getting used to the smoke flavor of food (as a regular diet). It's actually growing on me each day. And even the meat I thought I messed up, has always been well-liked by others. Still, I wonder if one day I might need to try a cheap smoker, to see if I really prefer cooking with charcoal better. > I did try a few things to up the smoke > flavor.

Hmmm, never thought of that. Might give it a try. The firebox on the Traeger is pretty small, but since the blower spreads the flames over a very wide area, I could probably get the same effect by placing the pouch beside the firebox. This could get me more smoke flavor when cooking at higher temps. Thanks. -- Mike |
