What's for dinner tonight? Dinner ideas?

I make boneless/skinless thighs and breasts all the time. Rub 1/2 of them with Jack Daniel's chicken rub and the rest with garlic/herb blends. Let them rest 45min. I have dialed in my time and temps to cook all in 30min.
Grill set at 460F
Bottom grate at 2" position, spray with oil.
Drop Breasts wait 10min
Drop thighs, wait 5 min
Flip Breasts, wait 5 min
Flip thighs, wait 10 min
Probe and pull pieces, should be 165F min.

Chicken looks and tastes amazing, approved by all my fam and friends.
 
I cut a brisket in half (I am the only red eater in the house) and that is in the Traeger as I type. The other half I am going to turn into Pastrami next week

I'd like to know how you do that, when you do
 
BIG rib cook tomorrow for PGA championship. So yea did the safe chicken thigh cook tonight which I love. Sooo this is my second cook with my third controller. Yea I cook some ms piggy sausage before to make sure it would lite.
So thoughts: Was always 150 over 450 using the app., timer on app never started to work untill cook was over and finally that handle IS FRIKING hot. ??? Have never had that kind of heat transfer from my old smokers. Will throw a pic in later.

The lid handle is hot? Mine has always been fine, does yours have the mica insulating washers between the handle and door face?

Also, I will say that the day spent insulating the grill was well worth it. The grill is so much cooler on the outside now.

I need to learn what it takes to make pastrami, please share!
I found a site that was the first I had seen to go into detail about making Pastrami, so no claim to fame from me.
 
THNX DAV, turned it into a PFD for anyone that wants it

Smoking up a flat for pastrami myself today:

 
Made MeatChurch's Jalapeño Popper recipe last night. Chorizo & cream cheese on a sliced jalapeño, wrapped in bacon. Topped with Honey Hog Hot and cracked black pepper. Recipe called for a 60-90 minute cook at 275. I had to turn it up to 350 when I was 75 mins in to get them crispy. Next time I might turn to 350 a little sooner and add some more Honey Hog Hot into the filling. But they were really good.
