ACCESSORIES

 There are three important temperatures EVERY outdoor cook should be familiar with:

a) Outside Temperature - determines if your food is going to cook fast or slow depending on how hot or cold it is outside.

b) Cooking Grid Temperature - what the temperature is in the cooking chamber of your grill. This will help you determine how long it will take the meat to cook. RULE OF THUMB: At 350 degrees F, meat will cook at twenty minutes per pound.
So, a 10 pound turkey will take approximately 3:33 hours to fully cook at 350 degrees.

c) Internal Meat Temperature - this is your "target" temperature. It tells you if your meat has come up to the proper temperature and is ready to eat. We recommend following the USDA meat temperature guidelines.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Not all meat thermometers are accurate. Here's how to test yours: Place a pan of cold water on your stove, heat up on high until the water begins to boil-which is 212 degrees F. Place stem of the thermometer into the water for one minute. If it is properly calibrated, it should read 212 degrees F.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Purchase only those thermometers with a nut on the back of the dial housing. This allows you to calibrate the dial indicator by using a pair of pliers to adjust the temperature indicator.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Those temperature forks are rarely accurate. Better: Purchase a good quality meat or instant reading meat thermometer and use it every time you cook outdoors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Instant reading--or pocket type ---thermometers are only to be left in the meat for one minute---not for the entire length of time you're cooking your meat.

PELLET CHART



Traeger brand barbecue pellets are no larger than the eraser on the end of a pencil. People who see them for the first time think they look like rabbit food, but there is nothing small about the heat energy in a barbecue pellet. Over 8500 BTU's per pound! Wood pellets are not new, they have been around for a long time used in industrial, commercial, and residential heating appliances and applications. There are over 100 fully operational pellet mills in the United States. Traeger Industries was the first company to use them for cooking. Only the finest hardwood raw materials are sourced from all over the country. The pure, raw material (sawdust) is then pulverized with hammer mills and dried. The dried material is then processed under heat and pressure. Lignin, which is the natural glue which holds plant fiber together, softens above 100 degrees Celsius, permitting the material to change shape. The hot lignin then acts like a glue to bond the pellet together. Pelleting employs a hard steel die which rotates against rollers forcing the material through the die with pressures of over 10,000 PSI. As the pellet is forced through the die it is sheared off at the specified length, cooled, screened, and bagged into 20 lb bags.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General specifications for barbecue pellets are: 100% hardwood, 1" long or less in length, 1/4" diameter, less than 2% ash content, less than 2% fines, 10% moisture content, 8500 BTU's per lb, and about 40 lbs per cubic ft. density.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hickory and Mesquite pellets are the most popular, however many of our customers are now using fruit woods for specialty smoking and gourmet cooking.

No one supplies finer quality hardwood barbecue pellets than Traeger. Remember, if it doesn't say Traeger on the bag, you don't know what's inside.
