What's cooking today? 🔥 Pics are necessary!

But it is +40F in Fairbanks this weekend. You do not have to be Inuit to Traeger in that kind of weather.
Yes we have it seems we have a couple of weeks before winter arrives here. Fall to winter is quick here ! Getting as much grill time as I can !
Currently snowing here !

Snow has arrived in Alaska
If it is just a light snowfall, keep smoking. If it is a blizzard, then stop. Snow often occurs when the temperature is near freezing. It is only when temperatures are well below freezing that the Traeger might encounter problems. A good winter coat for you and a winter blanket for your Traeger are your friends.
 
So @FireTechMike Is to blame for this!! Hopefully they turn out near as good as his looked

Not on the smoker, did up a taco sausage recipe two ways for some lunch meat.
This was from a recent video from Chud's BBQ for taco sausage. One is chicken and the other is ground pork and beef. No cure used in this one

I plan on making this as a meatloaf, its a keeper
 
It’s Turkey Time in Canada, (ignoring the snow and below-zero temps), so smoked a 16 1/2 pounder (7.5 kg). Started with a brine for 24 hr, then a rub (my secret recipe) for 12 hr uncovered in fridge, then onto the smoker. Apple pellets and spritzed twice with an AJ and maple syrup mix over a 9 hr smoke. Then a one hour rest wrapped in foil; my Good Wife taking care of stuffing, gravy, veggies, homemade rolls, sides and - AND - a peach pie.
Beautifully moist and flavourful meat. The skin was not gummy after the wrap, but not quite crispy.
We all waddled away from the table with smiles on our face.
Leftovers either made it into a Turkey Pot Pie for later, or were sliced and frozen for sandwiches down the line.

Sirloin tip roast. Seared in a pan then seasoned with herb de provence, coarse salt and butter. Smoked @250 for about 2 hours to an IT of 140. It was ok. Not my most favourite meal. I’m sure the leftovers will make some great philly beef sandwiches.
