Northwest Fishing Reports

Who here uses Traeger Grills? I have the Large Texan and getting one more.Ive burnt out two hot rods on mine already.I just about use it everynite.Tell me who you are Traegerites!!!

treagerville USA!... the last thing i did on the treager was a bunch of chicken thighs. i have the little tex with the treager rack... well built rack to boot. im watch pit masters on tv right now

I just went to count my pellets. I bought some at Maclendons for 14.00 a bag and thought that was decent.Now this is even better. I stacked them in my basement on a pallet board.

Toni when you smoke fish Do you vent the smoker to keep it cooler? My smoker setting runs at 160 175 degrees. It seems a lil bit warm to smoke.Also do you smoke closet to the hopper or burner side?

mine smokes at 180 to 225 thats to hot for my fish. iv thought about building a smoke box out of some clear cedar iv got kickin around. the traeger dont seal that well so i dont know if it would work? iv been wanting to do a pizza

I use the grill just the way it I got it. I put it on smoke. It doesn't have a digital thermometer nor do I put one in. I know that in the summer it takes less time to smoke the fish.
It does seem that the items cooked toward the grease drain is hotter. I just put thicker items there.

Treager nation, I have a lil tex deluxe ( all the stainless) now this is gonna hurt but I got mine on the employee price plan. $800.00 unit for $300.00 Thats the only way I could get one, to spendy. I have replaced three hot rod and as many fuses. We use ours nightly even if to smoke for 30 minutes then Finnish on the grill. We have narrowed it down it 4 pellet choices. I'm working on a cold box for mine. If it's sucsesful I will let you know , and see about making for wa lakes people.

i got mine for free:cheers:
