If you are like me, you are not used to smoking pork shoulder while lying in your bed. I made enough meat to feed 100 people at my town's annual backyard kegger after I hit the "super smoke" button and checked my temp at 6 am.
I have been cooking a lot of pork on the new smoker. I rarely cook anything that isn't smoked this summer. Are you talking about chicken salad? First, smoke that chicken. Are you talking about steak? It's a good idea to smoke it before you cook it. A fresh fruit? For a perfect desert, throw it on the Traeger.
The all-in-one outdoor kitchen is provided by this smart smoker. The new Timberline has everything I would want from a modern smoker with a single unit that is power and fuel. I only used a bag and half of wood pellet after two months. There is a fly in the smoke. It costs thousands of dollars. That is a lot of money for any appliance.
There is a new rig.
TheTimberline comes in a large orange box with clear instructions for setup but you may want a partner to help you move some of the heavier bits. There are three tiers in the smoke box, with a vent for the smoke cut midway along the back of the smoker so that it circulates fully to the top.
There is an easy-to-detach compartment in the cabinet below the smoker, which is a great place to keep extra metal and pellet liners. The six pork shoulders only filled one up about halfway, so you will get a lot of use out of those metal drips.
There is a box on the right of the unit where you can fill your wood pellet of choice. There is a plastic bin and trap door that you can use to store one type of pellet and another type to smoke if you want to.
On the right side of the unit is where the main control area is located. If you want to use it, connect your phone to the grill through the Traeger app. You can control the machine from your phone once it's connected to the internet. It is quite nifty. I experienced a spotty connection on the Traeger, so I wanted to make sure my routers had enough range.
The left side of the Timberline has an induction burner, which can be used to cook things on the smoker, or for cooking companion dishes while you wait for something to finish smoking.
You can put things like a paper towel holder, a pop-up holding tray, and hooks for grill tools in the accessory rails. They are nice and all, but not necessary since they cost a lot. $120 for a front shelf, $60 for a bin to store utensils, and $120 for a grill tray are all included. That's really bad. A grill cover is the only accessory you need to cook. It isn't made of silk.
