One year into my separation, I was up late watching the Home Shopping Network. I was feeling sorry for myself and it was just a bad day. Here comes the segment on wood pellet smoker grills by Traeger. HSN made it seem so easy and the food looked awesome. So I purchased it without any thought or beforehand researching it. Wow, a $700.00 emotional buy. Talk about retail therapy! Lol
Turns out years later, it is a divorced mommy’s best friend. If you enjoy barbeque after a long day’s work but you don’t want the headache of messing around with charcoal, this is for you. The Traeger is a wood pellet grill. It runs on electricity, so all you have to do is plug it up. Because they are designed for efficient fuel use, if you use it for smoking, you should cook your food longer and at lower temperature to get that desired smoke flavor.
I recently tried a seafood boil on it. Really good. Just don’t overcook it. You don’t want dry seafood. Ugh!
All the stars
I needed a bigger bowl!
All ready to grill.
