Just picked up a traeger pellet smoker last month and I think I'm using it way too much. Have done ribs twice, brisket, pork shoulder, chicken thighs, even tried a whole salmon. My neighbors probably think I'm insane but honestly I don't care. The meat comes out perfect every time and my family actually eats what I cook for once. This might be my best purchase ever.
Using it too much is not a real problem. Just wait till the neighbors start complaining about smelling amazing food all the time.
This is the way. Traeger addiction is real and honestly, it's a good problem to have. Your family's eating better than they ever have right now.
Ha, there's no such thing as too much smoker time. That's basically the perfect lineup of meats you've got going. My advice: keep going and get a notebook for your recipes before you forget what you did.
Treagers are dangerous. I got one two years ago and was running it constantly too. Now I'm pretty selective but man when you taste good smoked brisket you can't go back.

What have you made so far? I'm looking at getting a smoker and want to know what actually works well for family meals.
