What to put in the smoker this weekend?

Finally had the opportunity to grab a Traeger as they were at the local Costco this past weekend. Got a Texas Elite 34 put together and seasoned per the instructions. Got plans for elk loin steak tomorrow to put on there.

How long are you planning on smoking the Elk? With no fat I wonder how well it will do in a smoker.

A good marinade should take care of it, or BACON !


3lb brick, followed the recipe to see what adjustments if any would be needed for our taste buds. 2 hr cold smoke with apple, nothing needs changing.

Bacon wrapped, and the recipe I found said to go at 450* for 10 minutes. Right now I only have a bag of hickory pellets, so I have to hop on Amazon to see what they have.

Walmart has a 40# bag of Pit Boss Competition Blend for $19.76. According to Amazon it's $30 for that bag and has great reviews.....I'm a total n00b to this so I picked up a bag!
