Baked potatoes, corn on the cob, and bbq baked beans will go into the pit barrel cooker today for an hour or so.....then the lid comes off and we will fill it with round steaks and grill em up.
King Soopers near me had a couple of nice flats out for 5.99/lb yesterday.Quote:

I think I am going to do a beer can chicken on Saturday in the smoker.

I did a beef roast and jerky this morning. Brewing a Scottish Ale right now. It's amazing what I get done when the wife is gone for the day!

Not sure if there's a difference between Denver metro and Loveland, but KS near me still had flats for 5.99/lb and an untrimmed whole for 4.99/lb when I was there yesterday. I'm thinking of grabbing a flat and doing some homemade pastrami.Quote:

Put it on the Traeger Sat. morning and had the family over for dinner. Brisket, Olathe sweet corn, potato salad, coleslaw, and Rocky Ford melon. There wasn't much left.
I'd love to find me a whole brisket locally for $3.48/lb. Someday...Quote:

no pics of the chicken, didn't think of it, but here was a few from the ribs. I got called to work so didn't take a picture wright when they finished but grabbed a pic while we were eating them!

Need to find a place for a whole brisket locally. The flats from Costco are alright, but I hear a whole (flat+point) comes out even better.
I may have to check out a Sam's Club.
Did a rack of ribs yesterday on the Traeger. Trader Joe's Kansas City BBQ sauce is actually pretty damn good.
We have memberships at both Costco and Sam's. We had some not so satisfying experiences at Costco with some tough steaks and end up buying most of our meats from Sam's. The pork loin ribs are awesome - 3 racks to a cryopack. Can't believe how much meat is on those suckers. I'm lucky to finish half a rack.
With the whole brisket, the flat is definitely the premium section, but the point has awesome flavor and if you get the internal temp high enough can become quite tender as well. When I get done trimming out the heavy sections of dense fat between the flat and point they're barely connected anymore. After cooking I complete the separation to slice them since the muscle fibers run in different directions.
Favorite bottled sauce at the moment is Guy Fieri's Kansas City. Mixed that with de-fatted pan drippings and some Stubb's Spicy (habanero, cayenne, and black pepper) in a sauce pan. I try to avoid high-fructose corn syrup in my diet.
The racks I picked up from Costco were 3 to a pack, about $9 a rack aint bad. The girl and I barely took down half of one rack.Quote:

Anybody tried spatchcock chicken in a smoker? Did two recently, worked out great. Google it.
What did you call me?Quote:

Sweet Potato for the wife on the right and a Idaho for me on the right.
FYI a spatchcock is the backbone cut out and the chicken spread out, not cut in half.

Looking good. I still have 4 racks of ribs I need to get done up soon, probably next Monday since I have the holiday off.
Little late to your post. Drive up to Hudson and check out Hudson Locker, they are off hwy 52 and Cedar st. They had some nice looking briskets there wed.Quote:

red pepper italian sausage going on in 1/2 hr. When done they're getting sliced up for a tomato, fresh basil sausage & mozzarella pizza,, cooked on the smoker.
Just picked up my first Traeger at the Costco event this weekend. For those of you using pellet stoves; what are you using for pellets and is there a good local source? Those 20lb bags go pretty quickly. :)
Traeger will void the warranty if they find you're using non Traeger pellets. That being said, I've been stocking up on Hickory at Costco for $14 which isn't bad. Local ACE has a bigger selection at $20/bag. I think Ruff's is somewhere in the middle price wise. I generally find I'm using half a bag per ~8 hour smoke, which is less money than propane would be and more expensive than coal in an offset smoker.Quote:

$7-$10 worth of wood per 8hr smoke? That's crazy.
Made up a batch of ABTs for the game tonight:

Notice the one little sad one in the middle, ran out of bacon.
Traeger will NOT void the warranty for using other pellets. I know this 1st hand as I have had my traeger for 4 years and have had a few warranty items replaced. For pellets I use cookingpellets.com 100% hickory. Very good pellet. I bet them off amazon in 40# bags. Ruffs carries a brand called Cameron's pellets and they are not to bad. It is my experience that he traeger brand pellets have the weakest flavor.
I highly suggest heading over to pelletheads.com and reading the traeger section. Loads of very useful information.
Tonight I smoked some baby backs. 4 hours on smoke setting using the p setting on 1. Held a temp of 180. Foiled up the ribs and bumped traeger up to 225 for 45 more min. Epic ribs. No rub, just salt and pepper.
