    i'll be doing my first whole chicken on Saturday. Our neighbor has asked if she bought a chicken, could we put hers in at the same time. About how much cook-time will a 2nd bird add? I've read that a chicken should take 4-5 hours at 220, and a 2nd bird would only add ~30 minutes, and i've also heard that it'll take twice as long. Anyone with experience?

    I have never heard of this but now have a little smoker envy. This is a marriage of charcoal and pellet smokers. Really cool. I will have to blame you if I end up getting one. This forum used to only cost me with Tundra parts but now it's going to cost me more with grilling/smoking

    Depends what you're cooking on, but I've done 4 beer can chickens with only about a 30 min add-on. This is because that much cold meat dropped the temp in the smoker more at first. Using WSM.

    Mothers day request smoked Salmon

    1 Cup kosher salt

    1 Cup packed brown sugar

    To Taste ground black pepper

    Remove all pin bones from salmon. In a small bowl combine salt, sugar and black pepper.

    Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface that is at least six inches longer than the fillet. Spread 1/2 of the mixture on top of the plastic and lay the fillet skin side down on top of the cure. Top with another 1/2 of the cure spreading it evenly over the top of the fillet. Fold up the edges of the plastic and wrap tightly.

    Place the wrapped salmon fillet in the bottom of a flat, rectangle baking dish or hotel pan. Place another identical pan on top of the fillet. Place a couple of cans or something heavy inside the top pan to weigh it down making sure the weight is distributed evenly. Transfer the weighted salmon to the refrigerator and cure for 8-12 hours.

    Remove the salmon from the plastic wrap and rinse the cure completely. Place skin side down on a wire rack atop a sheet tray and pat dry. Place the sheet tray in the refrigerator and allow the salmon to dry overnight. This allows a tacky film called a pellicle to form on the surface of the salmon. The pellicle helps smoke adhere to the fish.

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.

    Place the salmon skin side down directly on the grill grate and smoke for 3-4 hours or until the internal temperature of the fish registers 150℉. Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!

    That looks awesome. Definitely would pay that much before I’d pay the same for a Traeger.

    Some fish, rice, brussel sprouts, rice and lemon cream source. All on the camp chef. I did set it to low smoke for about an hour to smoke the fish a little. Then cranked it up. Came out really good. Early dinner since I have to work tonight at 7 and will try to take a nap from 5-6. 20200513_162320.jpg

    I have been eyeing this also. Master built builds pretty good and affordable stuff. They are not a high end brand by any means. Much like pellet grills, I guaranteed there will be others that follow. Watch Kosmo's Q on YouTube. He has several videos about the smaller and larger. Anybody that touches one is absolutely raving about it. I really wanted a Kamado Joe for charcoal, but I am thinking about buying one of these now. Looked at one in person and seem really solid.

    These seem to really fill a void with both ease of use and a stronger wood flavor smoking ability.

    I bought two 560's today. One for my FIL and one for my dad. My FIL will cook on it by the end of the week pretty sure. If all goes well, I'll more than likely buy the 1050 at the end of the month when my local Ace gets them in.

    Salmon on the pellet grill. Butternut squash with goat cheese to go with it.

    Started the fish meat side down to get a little bit of grill marks, then turned it over on foil.

    Added melted butter, then crushed garlic, peach chutney and fresh cracked pepper.

    That looks awesome.

    I’m convinced there is no better way to cook a steak than on a smoker low followed by a fast sear.

    So I'm smoking my first brisket. Its about 9 lbs after trimming the fat cap. I put it on (225°) at 3:30 am and it hit the stall around 8 or 8:30. We plan to eat around 6:00pm. Should I let it go as is or should I crutch it? Is it too late to crutch? Can I crutch it later if I don't see any movement in temp?

    It's a traeger but I use it in a traditional method. Not a 3 2 1 method. It's set at 225°
