Finally got my Traeger!

Anyone else have one? What pellets do you like best? What is your favorite thing to smoke? Inject or no? Anyone have a good recipe they want to share?

I like apple for chicken or pork and mesquite or pecan for beef.

Go buy Meathead's book - "The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling". Lots of great tips and recipes. Everything single thing I've tried out of that book has been great.

I don't have a Traeger but smoke tons on my Weber Smokey Mountain and Grill Dome.

I don't have a pellet grill, but I do smoke meats. For what it's worth, I recommend first-timers start with a pork shoulder for their first cook. Pulled pork is very forgiving. Keep it simple:

  1. Get a pork shoulder (I like the bone-in ones at Sam's Club, but any will do). Rinse it under water and pat it dry with paper towels if you like.
  2. Apply your dry rub.
  3. Smoke at 225F to 250F degrees until you can stick a fork in it and turn it without resistance. This is usually around 12 to 14 hours of smoking or when the meat hits an internal temperature of around 195F degrees.
  4. Wrap the meat in foil and let it rest for an hour or so or until it is not too hot to pull. You can hold it for a few hours in a 170F degree oven if needed, and it gets even more tender like that.
  5. Pull the pork and serve as desired. I like to serve it on a kaiser roll with some East Carolina-style sauce and some coleslaw.
I wouldn't mess with injecting, spritzing/mopping, the "Texas crutch" or anything like that on a first cook. Keep it simple; it will still be delicious without being overwhelming.

Meathead's website is fantastic. http://amazingribs.com/

I don't have his book, but if it is anything like his website, its worth getting.
