Oh, this is so good and so easy.
1 cup peanut oil and two sticks of butter (I skipped the "clarified" butter this time), melted and drizzled over the mix. I kept sprinkling the granulated garlic and onion along with the Chupacabra rub as well as dashes of Worcestershire sauce in the pan for 3 hours at 250 along with the Hickory booster. Lots of sprinkles & stirring, but hey, it's alright to head out every 30 minutes to check on Chex Mix awesomeness.
Good Stuff tonight Yielded almost 3 gallon zip lock bags for the Christmas holiday. Hmmm Christmas Crack!

Doesn't require any heat at all. So as low as you can go. If you have a smoke tube, just use that. It can be thrown on if you are smoking something else, I have done that in the past. Just make sure it's not below something that can drip on it.
My last smoke for paprika I used my smoke tube and smoked for 6 hours. The longer you go, the more flavor it will take on. So time is up to you. It does get really fragrant with the smell of smoke, but it isn't harsh or overpowering when it's used. I did 4 hours the previous time and that was nice as well.
Do some kosher coarse salt at the same time if you want to make use of the space.
Both make excellent quick gifts for family and friends

I was watching a YouTube video and there was a claim that the offset smokers produce better smoked meats than pellet smokers. Is this a subjective opinion or a fact? If true, how close can pellets smokers like a Traeger get to these flavors? Curious!
Better Smoked Meat??? Obviously "better meat" is an OPINION and hard to prove on any level other than that.
My opinion?? I've been smoking meat for 20 years, since I got a Traeger, according to my wife, I've been serving the best meat she has ever tasted.
A Traeger smokes meat DIFFERENT that wood burners and I think completely juicier because it skins/barks over everything you cook so it amazingly holds in the juices.
All you gotta do is scroll thru the previous 27 pages in this thread here and tell me whether you think food cooked on Traegers looks like it lacks smoke or flavor
