Traeger BBQ

Yesterday was the first time since July 4th weekend that I was able to get the Traeger XL fired up.

Here is the fire pot on the inside as the pellets began to ignite.

Here is the new 3 tier rack getting ready for use.

The first load of food to be made.  Cavanaugh's spicy polish sausage and an apple wood smoked bacon marinated pork loin both from Sam's Club.

Next up were some chicken wings.  I use the 10lb frozen Tyson bag from Sam's Club.  These have a sauce made with melted butter, a few packages of Papa John's garlic butter, dried ranch dressing powder, dried rosemary, Louisiana hot sauce, Frank's Sweet Heat BBQ wing sauce, and Buffalo Wild Wings Caribbean Jerk wing sauce.

Up next were two pizzas from Walmart.

Lastly, my friend Ryan W. from work and his son Alex stopped by after a fishing trip in Winthrop Harbor.  This is their Coho salmon with McCormick's Smokehouse Maple rub.
