#TraegerThanksgiving

Greetings, all. It’s been an eventful year, coupled with record levels of rainfall. In short, I haven’t been able to use the Traeger nearly as much as I would like. Let me rephrase that… I could PROBABLY smoke in the rain, but there’s still electricity and usually water and electricity aren’t a good mix. I […]

Happy to say I’ve done a few things since our return from vacation. One of my favorite things to prepare is wild caught Alaskan salmon. I’ve become a salmon snob… I flat […]

I disagree… after all, how many sports can you fail 7 out of 10 times and still be considered one of the all time greats? That’s beside the point, though. The highlight for me […]

The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining us as we learn about BBQ and taste as much of it as we can. This is planned to be a side project, sharing what we learn and hopefully getting tips from the greater BBQ community. We are not experts… we are not competitors… we are fans, though, and that’s all you […]
