Cooked a ton of food for the week on the grill tonight, 2 salmon filets, beef and turkey burgers and chicken in chipotle rub/broth…tough to not try it all.
How many of you outdoor cook with a Traeger? If not what is your BBQ rig of choice?

Just picked up a new Rec Teq RT 590, first time user of a pellet grill. I have ate food off of a friends several times and it was always good, anyone have any pros or cons on this brand? Rec Teq seems to have plenty of support from the interweb community.
My brother in law gave away his Traeger and went with Rec Teq. He loves it. I would buy one if I wasn't already set up with a smoker.

I am replacing a gas grill that finally gave it up and I am hoping I can use this one for grilling and smoking as well, I have a PRIMO ceramic smoker and a Hasty Bake charcoal grill smoker combo already but sometimes I just don't want to fool with lighting charcoal .
you can't go wrong with the brand. You might want to sign up here for a ton of info https://www.smokingmeatforums.com great bunch of people with some cross over to members here.
yeah except you don't post much over there.
Because I have a MAK and everyone else has a rec teq.
Mostly there for the recipes.
show off...yeah they are rectec fan boys over there.
Over on BBQ Brethren they’ve had a yearly MAK sale for the last two years. Unfortunately I didn’t get to take advantage of it. Smoking meats is a much better forum layout.
Never been on that site, SMF keeps me busy enough and good people too. I can contribute there more than I can here, being that I am on flat LI.

Baby back ribs with Kinders sauce tonight on the Traeger.
5lb rib roast smoked, seared, and cubed.
It's all going into some chili I'll be making tomorrow. TBC......

Local store often has rib roast on sale for Christmas. For some reason they did it for 2-3 weeks and completely sold out. At $5.99 a pound it was going quick. I got one but went two days in a row to get one more. No luck.
So, I'm ready for tomorrow with a 13lb Bone-in Ribeye.
I just applied a coffee based rub this morning:
Tones Rosemary Garlic Seasoning
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
Medium ground Hazelnut Coffee (I used a Kona blend)
Fresh Ancho Chile Powder (I make my own Chile powders from dried peppers, this one is Ancho and Chile Negro)
Oregano
I catch the drippings in a foil pan and use them to make a sauce with fresh horseradish and heavy cream.
