    Daniel from Toronto here

    Hi everyone, nice to meet you. I'm born and raised in Toronto and spent 8 years cooking professionally. I did a culinary apprenticeship and got to travel the world and have some fun. Eventually, real life set in and I gave up the professional side but still cook a ton.

    I was diagnosed a Celiac a few years back which ruled out a lot of BBQ for me... Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and lots of BBQ sauces are off limits for me. I have a big gas grill that I use for every day stuff and I bought a smallish traeger last year....i have to say that I've struggled with the traeger at times. I buy all my meat direct from the farm and it's delicious but I'm looking to get better with the Traeger (and likely buy an egg this year.)

    • Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

                Welcome! Try some of the tips on here and I'll bet that Traeger will be singing! Ask questions and study. Lots of helpful folk around. Glad you joined. There is a whole sub-forum on wood pellets and several folks have Traegers.

                        Thanks guys. My email address is current and I do have a US mailing address. I'm going to look for the Traeger forum because I've yet to discover what all the hype is about. The first time I did a brisket the auger jammed and started a big fire: the second time I got some error code and the pork shoulder just sat there for hours.

                        Sigh

                        But that's why I'm here, to get better so I can eat better!

                              Welcome to the pit, I have a relative who has celiac and if you know of a recipe that's safe for them I'll forever be in your debt!

                              Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker


                              This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp?s dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin?.

                              GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone


                              GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily rmoved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

                              The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


                              The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                              Finally, A Great Portable Pellet Smoker


                              Green Mountain?s portable Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker is one mean tailgating and picnic machine. But it?s also gaining popularity with people who want to add a small, set it and forget it pellet smoker to their backyard arsenal. And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.

                              Heat Resistant Gloves With Extra Long Sleeves Hold The Hot Stuff

                              If you?re using oven mitts at the grill, it?s time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder?s gloves. They?re heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned. Our Fave.

                              The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


                              The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
