I sear steaks, cook pizza at 650 degrees and smoke as low as 180 degrees with my pellet cooker. I want an egg at some point, but only as an enhancement to my BBQ equipment and not a replacement.A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad Ali

I use a cheap charcoal grill to supplement my Traeger. I use charcoal to grill steaks, veggies, certain types of chicken (teriyaki for example). A nice combo."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Hmm...maybe I'll go pick up a wsm. Would be fun to take camping, or to have a second smoker around. And I'd still be into it less than a Traeger.
And you're STILL not smoking! Cmon, pull the trigger. It's time.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

I'm amazed at how high-tech you people are with your smokers. My first smoker was an old gas grill. I pulled out the burner, put apple wood on top of charcoal on one side, then replaced the grates and put the meat on the top grate away from the heat. It worked great. Then my mom bought me a cabella's smoker for Christmas, which I used for a year or so before I got my smoke trailer. I've never just set it and walked away, but never really saw the need. Meat only needs to be smoked for a few hours, then if you want to leave and do something else while it finishes cooking you can throw it in the oven on 200. Maybe if I ever used a high-tech smoker I'd have to have one, but for now I'm blissfully ignorant.Last edited by cowboy; 05-06-2014, 07:42 AM.sigpic
