Just put up a couple of slabs of ribs on the Traeger.
« Reply #-1 on: January 16, 2012, 01:03:31 PM »
I had to pull a couple of stragglers out of the freezer over the weekend.  Now that they're defrosted, I need to cook them.  So, here's one rack of baby back ribs with John Henry Sugar Maple rub and a rack of Angus beef ribs with garlic powder, fresh cracked pepper and kosher salt. 

Traeger's set to 250*.  I expect to be eating ribs in about four hours. 

Here's how they looked when I first put them on the cooker.

Nice Old School (and made in the USofA) Traeger!

I've had her for almost 15 years.  I'm still on my first batch of pellets.  I split a ton of pellets with two competition cooks.  They went through their 700lbs of pellets in about a year.  I still have about 300lbs of my pellets from that batch in the garage.

Dang..    I hate to think how many pellets I've gone through.   But, cooking in the dead of winter in Central IL takes a lot of fuel.

A can of Rustoleaum and that thing would look as good as new!

One of the things I do occasionally is pop in on the Brethren and hunt for posts that are blatant misinformation (easy to find there) and correct them.  Not long ago I corrected one that assured every reader that pellets self-destruct after a few months of storage.  Looks like your pellets have aged well.  My oldest bag is about two years.  They aren't decomposing yet  ::)

Yeah, I'm actually surprised they lasted this long.  I guess as long as they don't get damp, they're fine.

I agree, those ribs look good! I think I went through about 700 lbs of pellets last year just cooking for the family. I can only imagine how many pellets you went thru last year Squirt!
