I'm a life-long musician who found a passion for cooking about 15 years ago. I've always liked grilling, but in the last few years I've gotten more serious about results as close to perfect as possible. My wife got me a Traeger, wood pellet fired grill for Christmas, so now I want to get more into smoking and slow cooking. I'm hoping to learn from all of you. Thanks for any help you can give.
