Just pulled a butt off the smoker for potluck tomorrow. Took 11 hrs.

Also smoked butt "ribs" for dinner. Really great!

Half of it. My wife doesn't like it with sauce but my kids do. If I make sauce, it's vinegary. I love that. But, due to being busy, I'll probably end up using sauce from the cabinet, not sure what's in there now. We'll see how the day progresses.

i'm not a fan of it with sweet sauce either. I like the vinegar sauce... super easy and oh so tasty. little turbinado sugar, vinegar, hot peppers, and a small squeeze of tomato paste.
 
I need to refinish my smoker after a small "it caught fire" style incident due to me forgetting to remove the drip pan last time I used it. PassedPawn, your pics make me want to call in sick tomorrow and do just that!
 
Did some Beef Short Ribs.

Found some nice meaty bones.

Brushed with EVOO and then some Montreal seasoning and into the fridge for about 24 hours.

Into a foil pan, covered and braised for about two hours in Irish Ale.

Some crash hot taters and grilled zucchini with EVOO, S&P, topped with parmesan cheese. Did these on the Weber Geni B.

Thanks for lookin'
 
Smoking a few salmon fillets for the wife and I. I would have like to have brined them but they will be great nonetheless.

Those short ribs look phenomenal Nivek. I have tried the short ribs but by the time they were done I rendered so much fat that there was next to nothing left to eat. It was a poor choice of meat on my part.

I've never made short ribs.. that looks amazin'!! Going to have to try that. Did you buy from a butcher or supermarket?
 
Smoked a Ham yesterday. I couldnt fire up the smoker without ABTs. No pictures as the 7 hungry vultures (friends and myself) killed it right when it was taken off the smoker.
 
I'm going to have to do some beef short ribs soon.

The damn auger tube on my traeger is clogged with wet, expanding wood pellets and there's only one guy around here who can fix it. I'm out a smoker for a couple weeks!

its super easy to pull.

remove your controller and unplug the harness. empty the hopper. remove the hopper (4 screws i think). pull the motor - i think this is just 2 screws and a pin. bam - the auger is free to pull out.
 
I will have 4-6 butts in the smoker, along with baked beans, friday night. I'll try to remember to snap some picks.

I need to also separate the auger from the tube. He's only charging $50 so he can deal with it. My time is worth way more than that.
 
^7 thousand posts on HBT... Lol ;)

He's only charging $50 b/c he's just gonna replace a small cotter pin. 5 minute job. It will take you longer to run the grill to the shop and back

You seriously think you can pull the auger tube in five minutes?

Edit: just saw it on YouTube. Super easy. Thanks!!

Solid! Only give'n ya a had time b/c I replaced nearly every part on my old traeger. None of the jobs were difficult at all and I have zero mechanical aptitude.

BTW - traeger customer service is open 7 days a week and will more than likely ship you replacement parts on the house. Their customer service is top shelf.

Awesome
 
Man! I am. Along with others of course. I've got two perfecto pork shoulders, marinated and all that, just yearning to be put in the smoker. I almost have an orgasm thinking about how great they will be, that's a real treat for a 74 yr old. Really, though, My family and friends love pork shoulder. so we will be enjoying the weekend with BBQ. Cheers!
