What's for dinner tonight? Dinner ideas?

[Slimpicker]

Why remove the grease tray? Temp is temp after all isnt it? i am a newbie, so please excuse me if it's a silly question.

Well, I'm leaning that it would make a difference because without the huge metal tray over the fire now the first thing the heat would hit is the pizza tray, metal or stone... I think I'm gonna start removing my grease tray when I use a drip pan anyway...
My Jerky trays come with a bottom pan, my leg holder does, etc.

If it starts to BURN food then at least I will have proven something to myself.
If it does throw ash everywhere... maybe I'll make something to set flat on the firepot hood like 8x8

Please do share your learnings from these experiments. That would be great. Thanks !

Mad Max Turkey seasoning is awesome. I've met Max years ago at some Eggfests. Great guy! And now Dizzy Pig has made him even more famous with his spicing gone commercial!

I also just snatched up some Williams spices including that rib tickler... joined both sites for future purchases

T-Bones tonight. Randall's has them on sale for $5.99/lb. Gonna give em a smoke bath for an hour or so till 120 internal, then sear em on the GrillGrates on the gasser. Rubbed em with EVVO and then dusted with McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning.

Not dinner, but making use of the smoke tube and some free time.
A bit of cheese and some paprika on some Traeger Applewood pellets

how did the paprika turn out? did you have to spritz often to keep moist? what was the process for that, I'm interested it trying this out!

Smoked paprika turned out great, as does the smoked salt. I've been doing these since my days using my Bradley smoker.
Keep it dry, if you don't it will clump on you.. I use a cookie sheet and spread it out and about every hour I will use a fork or spoon and give it a little mix to expose more of it to the smoke.
It is so nice to have during winters when I am not able to cook outside as often

I am so excited! I just purchased the Silverton 810 which is Costco exclusive comparable to the Timberline in many ways.
