Useful info, and well timed (for me).

I am away from home for the next two weekends after this one, and then soon after in May I have people coming round, for which I will be grilling stuff, which I would normally do on the Weber. However, as I mentioned elsewhere, the Weber is probably going to be on loan by then, so I am going to be doing it on the Traeger.

I'm getting quite familiar with the Lil Tex for slow and low, but have never done a big grill on it before, so tonight I bought a range of burgers, steaks, chops and chicken, to experiment with over the weekend, so I will know what I am doing when I have people here.

Moving stuff around my Weber is automatic for me now, and one of the reasons for this weekend's play was to work out where to move stuff on the Traeger to sear, or slow it down. Looks like you've just given me a head start.

Thanks for the info that is great to hear, really looking forward to having a smoke out over easter.

Cheers, Mark

It would be good to hear how your weekend went with the Traeger?

Hi Mark

I didn't want to hijack your topic any more than I already did, so I started a new topic:
