Traeger

[dane2992]

Ok so I got my traeger a week ago and when I received it I noticed the hopper scratched the inside the barrel. I was like I'm not going to return this for that so I sent traeger a message just stating what I saw and said I don't meet a new smoker. Get an email later that a new barrel is being shipped to me. Now my question is what to do with this new barrel? Any ideas?

I would try to stack it and have a double chamber if possible

Give our resident mad scientist an inch and he will take a mile 

Heck, just keep the barrel off in a corner somewhere in case you might need it. Real nice of Traeger to do that

SRG is the Smoker/Roaster/Grill From Charbroil. Uses infrared to cook hot and fast. Lots of fun for cooking a chicken or turkey that many folks would think you deep fried - and it uses no oil. Good addition to your stable!

And - I think that is an excellent choice! Tommy is known for his Franken-cookers based on the Big Easy and SRG He does some cool stuff with 'em!
Cooked on my PBC last nite. Love it - and you will find it a versatile tool for producing great charcoal grilled foods.

What about the idea of adding a side barrel for charcoal or wood chunks and have a tube or something routed to the back side( cut a hole on the back of the traeger). Would having the heat come through the side cook evenly? Or could I add a heat deflector to have the heat spread evenly?
