I was waiting for the Traeger Road Show to make its way to Costco again. Just in time for the summer grilling season! I’ve been experimenting with smoking meats and
bbq using a Char-Broil The Big Easy Electric 2-in-1 Smoker for a few summers now. But now I’m ready to move up to something that can handle more ribs and larger cuts of meat. Sure, I thought of going the old school way and getting a barrel smoker using charcoal but with time being a hard commodity nowadays, I just couldn’t see myself tending to the fire and trying to maintain a low, constant temperature for 12 hours as I smoke a brisket. So I’ve opted for the Traeger Junior Pellet Grill. It’s easy to maintain a low temperature, the indirect heat is ideal for smoking brisket, tri-tip, whole chicken and turkey, ribs, etc. And you can’t beat the price. The only junior-sized grill available on the Traeger website is the Junior Elite which costs $100 (maybe more) more than the Traeger Junior Pellet Grill (model no. BBQ055) available at Costco. You'll find maintaining the temperature on a Traeger is way easier than, say, doing it on your run of the mill Weber Charcoal Kettle Grill. Costco also sells the pellets in various flavors: apple wood, hickory, mesquite, etc. If you're looking for a portable grill that you can take to
tailgating parties, picnics, or camping trips, then you may even want to check out the
Duro NXR Table Top Propane Gas Grill. So spend your summers at the grill and impress your friends with some real home cooked slow-smoked St. Louis ribs. Mmmmm. Just remember to pick up a bag of of
Traeger wood pellets for your Traeger grill.
