Traeger Pig Smoker |
This weekend, we loaded the pig with a lemon-pepper Tri-tip and a tray of chicken thighs. This time I set the "smoke" setting for 1/2 an hour, then 300f until the thighs reached 170f. The tri-tip finished 15 minutes later at 131f. I used mesquite again.

Boucher Farm Tri-tip |
I felt that both the beef and chicken needed more smoke; I'll got back to 1 hour next time. The lemon-pepper was Traeger's brand and it has a very nice affinity for beef.
