Thus far, it looks like a Commercial Rub (tisk tisk) is really working out, and after fully coating the racks in Killer Hogs Hot BBQ Rub, and smoking for 3 hours, foiling for 1.5 hours with Honey, Brown Sugar, Butter, and 1/3C of Apple Juice, then back on the smoke for 1.5 hours seems to be working.
The Traeger Ironwood 650 Pellet Smoker has really proved to be impressive, and despite decades of stick built and/or Charcoal smokers, it’s getting a workout this, it’s first year. Having used all of Traeger’s pellets, the Pecan has really turned out to be our favorite.
Is it the same as stick built ?? Not quite, but with the Super Smoke setting on the Traeger, the gap is narrowing !!!
