Read MoreVIDEO: Pulled Pork From Start to Finish on our Traeger Grills
We consider the BBQ Trinity: Ribs, Brisket, and Pulled Pork. Once you’ve mastered all three, you’ve got a lifetime of great BBQ ahead of you 🙂
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting videos of each one, sharing tips and tricks from our cooks.
First up is pulled pork. Here are the basics on a 6 pound pork butt we picked up at Costco:
How to smoke a prime beef whole packer brisket
I took the opportunity of the first three day weekend of the year to try my hand at a full packer brisket. A “packer” contains both the point and flat.
Weighing in at 16 pounds, and $2.99/lb at Costco, this was by far the most ambitious (and expensive) cook yet! Video below shows all of the basic steps in the recipe. At bottom are a number of links where you can find the tools of the trade that made this LONG cook a success (remote thermometer, utility knife, Traeger Century 22, etc). Let’s get started …
Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Popper Polish Dogs
Some like it hot! So we finally broke down and wrote out our smokey, spicy, and HOT dog recipe for you all. This is a great weeknight delight. Easy to make. Can be done in as little as 30 minutes.

Recipe Review: Chex Mix and White Cheddar Cheez-Its on the Traeger
For us, the holidays are all about cooking up old family classics. But we couldn’t help take notice of all the smokey, savory, and sweet creations that seem to be ruling our social media feeds.

Recipe Review: Traeger’s Garlic Herb and Stuffed Prime Rib Roast Recipe
When we haven’t done a recipe before, and are cooking for a big party or family gathering, we like to do a dry run a week or two before. As you saw with our Traeger Turkey Recipe Review, it’s usually flawless. But we always seem to learn something that improves the final product. Taking our end product from good to great!
After looking at a dozen or so mouth-watering Prime Rib recipes around the web, we decided to improvise on Traeger’s Garlic and Herb Stuffed Prime Rib Roast.
Sizzling Fajitas with Grilled Chicken in Cast Iron Skillet
Give your chicken some wood-fired sizzle and kick with this recipe! We love our fajitas with a hint of hickory smoke, but you can go with more or less, depending on your preferences. We also like that restaurant-style sizzle! Here’s how to make them at home on your Traeger or pellet grill…
PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps
One of the things we always look forward to when we eat out at PF Changs are their chicken lettuce wraps. So savory, tangy, and fresh. Another favorite pastime of ours is trying to recreate restaurant-quality (or better) dishes at home!
This is our tenth or so attempt at perfecting PF Chang’s lettuce wraps at home, and they really do just keep getting better and better.
