Smoked some beef ribs for dinner and it was my 50th cook...like buttah 🤤

After several months of having the brackets ready to go, I finally got off my duff and installed them. I did take the black screws that were keeping the bottom of the bracket from being flush and relocated them by using them in the bottom hole of the bracket. Huzzah! I figured a board 13" x 32"...

Got some ribs on the smoker, badminton set up and beer in hand.

Hadn't anticipated smoking three full racks when my son, who works part-time at Lidl, told me they have ribs in single packs. I figured they were either BB or St. Louis and I wanted three. However, they were the full racks and since I was there I might as well buy them. As you can see, I was...

Smoking a trout now at 225 and in the short time that I've had the 590, I've never seen swings like this. It's like a roller coaster. The outside temp is upper 30s but no wind to speak of. When I first fired it up, the temp inside said 77 and didn't budge for 5 mins and then shot to 225 in about...

Firing up the 590 this morning...beef chuck ribs we be going on in about 10 mins at 225 and then pork ribs at 10am and I'll bump it up to 250 for the duration...

First off, Merry Christmas to everyone! 🎄 Will be smoking a brisket for Christmas dinner. Got one from Costco. It's a prime brisket weighing in at 17 lbs. That was the smallest one they had. After trimming, it was down to 13 lbs. You can see the mountain of fat in background. Smoking it...

Ok. I promise not to chronicle every cook from here on out but since my son brought home some thicc ribeyes from Lidl, I thought I'd try my hand at smoking them and then reverse searing on my gasser via grillgrates. Smoked them at 250 for just over an hour to 110* and then finished them off...

Decided on St. Louis-cut ribs for my virgin cook. 🤣 Went to our local BJ's and found a good selection. Got 'em sitting at 275* and using Traeger's Signature Blend pellets.

Bought my Stampede on Black Friday and it was delivered about a week and half later. I was glad to see that the comp cart was free...makes the 590 feel real sturdy now. Prior to burn-in, I installed the FireBlack gasket on the inside of the door. I have the all-weather vent covers but haven't...
