It is a lovely sunny day here in Ontario. It is a long weekend here and it is a perfect day to cook.

Put a rack of ribs on the Traeger with some sausages.

 
I never thought I'd say this but I wish I lived in Canada................but only on days you cook! :D
 
yes the thingy was interesting.

Had a few problems with the thingy today. It was a manufacturing defect. However I have to say their customer service (at least here in Barrie) was great. Came out right away replaced it and it works like a charm.

Forgot to take pics of the finished products. In between getting it replaced etc.

It was good worked fine. I still like my WSM better. Probably because with a Traeger I am bored. IT was sooooo easy. My oven has more buttons. I felt like I was cheating. I kept looking for something to do.

However I would use a traeger in a comp for sure. I may still add it to my collection.

I am a charcoal lover I guess.

That's what I bought a Traeger for, ribs & chicken. I use a Smokin Tex for brisket & butts.
