What's on the Grill Tonight?

Some may remember I've been struggling to reach and/or keep temperature. Kinda sorta thought maybe it was the pellets I was using, either too much moisture or poor quality. The brand was Camp Chef.

I likely will never know for sure. The bag of pellets I'm using now is Traeger brand. I am reaching set temperature quickly, and the temp is staying where I set it.

This bacon is seriously thick. And seriously good.

Meat candy! I'll have to bite the bullet and give Traeger pellets a try again, I'm normally too cheap to spend that $$ on pellets and gravitate towards Bear Mountain or similar.

I've used all sorts of pellets, I don't think they make any difference with taste or temp. My pallet probably isn't refined enough to tell, I'm just simple common folk!

And as before, I believe that they're all the same too. Traeger pellets, no problem. Bear Mountain pellets, no problem. But the one and only time I used these Camp Chef pellets, I could not easily reach temperature, and I had a flame out. Maybe coincidence, maybe not. I will stick to Bear Mountain, as they're far cheaper than Traeger. And since I still have a bag of Camp Chef pellets, I will experiment again.

Hit me up via PM before you try them and I can give you some tips. Look into a sous vide cooker to slow cook and finish over natural lump after dry aging your roast in the bag.

I think this is the model we have:
