So my inaugural cook this past Saturday was far less exciting... By the time I had it built and burned in, it was getting late and since it was already hot, I tossed a burger in there. Yay
The Traeger roadshow sales rep is at my local Costco through this coming Sunday, and when I was in there the other day we were talking about the various pellet woods they offer. All he had with him as a roadshow-only pellet was apple, which is a wood I don't care for in my charcoal smokers, he suggested trying the Traeger apple with a box of cheez-its. I actually thought he was pulling my leg at first. Take a box of cheez-its, dump them into a metal basket, bbq wok or fish/veggie tray and put them in the grill on low smoke for 30-60 minutes - stir 2-3 times during the cook. Once they cool off, the smoke flavor comes through. I did a batch of them for a bunch of unsuspecting victims at a party Saturday night, they were actually pretty popular.
I still don't like apple wood though.
