It doesn’t have to be complicated to make food better with a little wood-fired goodness. 🔥
Take a pan of your favorite mashed potatoes—lots of butter, chives and properly seasoned. Top with a whole bunch of cheese and a sprinkling of bacon.
That’s it.
Throw it on your Traeger at 225°F for an hour or two and let that woodfired smoke take the flavor up a whole other notch.
Deliciously easy. No fuss. Just really damn good potatoes. 🔥
Just a little Monday moment to share.

🔥 WANT TO MAKE BETTER RIBS? START RIGHT HERE.
Before the rub. Before the spritz. Before the wood-fired goodness.
REMOVE. THE. MEMBRANE. 🍖🔥
It’s not complicated. It takes less than a minute once you get the hang of it, and it’s one of those simple little steps that can make a difference in the finished ribs.
Yes — smoke can penetrate the membrane.
But your rubs, seasonings, sprays and spritzes are going to have much better access to the meat without that membrane in the way. Plus, as the membrane cooks, it can tighten up and become coarse, papery and just not the best bite.
Here’s how I remove it:
1. Remove the ribs from the package, rinse if desired, and pat them completely dry.
2. Place the rack meat side down, bone/membrane side up.
3. Grab a piece of good-quality textured paper towel. This is NOT the time for that sad dollar-store paper towel that disintegrates when you look at it. 😂 A clean, dry kitchen towel works too.
4. Hold the rack in your hand so it hangs slightly, focusing on the area between bones 4 and 5. This helps pull the membrane nice and tight and makes it easier to grab.
5. Pinch the membrane between those bones. Using the paper towel for grip, work your fingers slightly underneath the membrane.
6. Once you’ve got it — PULL STRAIGHT UP. 🙌
That membrane should peel right off, leaving you with a beautiful rack of ribs ready to soak up all that seasoning, spritzing and wood-fired goodness. 🔥🔥🔥
It gets easier with practice — and trust me, I’ve pulled a membrane or two. 😂
This method works beautifully for baby back ribs and St. Louis-cut ribs.
It’s a tiny step.
But sometimes better BBQ is about doing the little things right.
remember, life is too short for bad BBQ !

🔥 Want better chicken thighs on the grill? Give me TWO minutes.
A little trimming before they hit the grill makes a BIG difference.
When I prep chicken thighs, my goal is simple:
✂️ Maximize the meatiness
✂️ Remove excess skin
✂️ Cut away those big gobs of fat
✂️ Create a more level, uniform piece for even cooking
✂️ Get a much nicer finished presentation
And seriously—let the kitchen scissors do the work! They make trimming thighs incredibly quick and easy. From start to finish, I spend less than 2 minutes per thigh, and I end up with a beautifully shaped piece of chicken that cooks more evenly and looks fantastic coming off the grill.
♻️ And don’t toss those scraps! I save the skin, fat, and meaty trimmings for stocks and soups. No wasted bits left behind.
Two minutes of prep. Better shape. Better cooking. Better presentation.
🔥 Work smarter, not harder—and let those scissors do the heavy lifting.
Do you trim your chicken thighs before grilling, or are you tossing them straight on as-is?

🍎✨ Caramel Custard Apple Rose Tart ✨🍎
Wait until you slice into this one. There’s Ghirardelli caramel under those cinnamon apple petals, and vanilla custard baked right between them. It’s a Thanksgiving showstopper, and the hardest part is waiting for it to chill. Bake it right on the Traeger for a little wood-fired flavor! 🔥
CRUST & APPLES
• 1 refrigerated rolled pie crust
• ½ cup Ghirardelli caramel sauce
• 2 lbs apples, cored and sliced ⅛ inch thick
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp salt
VANILLA CUSTARD
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup whole milk
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp salt
1️⃣ Preheat your Traeger to 400°F. Press the pie crust into a tart pan and spread the caramel over the bottom.
2️⃣ Toss the apple slices with the sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Overlap them in circles, working from the outside edge toward the center to form a rose. A mandoline makes quick work of the slicing!
3️⃣ Whisk the eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth. Whisk in the milk, cream, and vanilla. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, then slowly pour the custard over the apples so it settles between the slices.
4️⃣ Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
5️⃣ Cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate until chilled. Slice and serve with whipped cream.
Who’s saving room for a slice? 🍎

Thanksgiving is coming! Do you have your game plan yet? 🦃🔥
I might be biased. Okay, I’m DEFINITELY biased. I use my Traegers for everything from roasting the turkey to baking the pie, and I’ll find room for the sides, too. I look forward to that wood-fired Thanksgiving feast every single year.
Save the oven for something else. Mine is usually full of cast iron anyway. 😂 Fire up the grill!
I love a holiday where it’s perfectly acceptable to make six sides and still ask, “Do we need one more?” But my favorite part of Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving is getting everyone around the table. The family I was born into, the friends who became family, and whoever needs a seat. There’s always room to build a bigger table. ❤️
So what’s the ONE Thanksgiving dish your people would riot over if you left it off the menu?

Always build a bigger table. ❤️🔥
Last night at @traegergrills Friendsgiving in Salt Lake City, I got to catch up with friends I don’t get to see nearly enough, share a meal with some incredible people, and listen to a few words that I’m still thinking about today.
And holy smokes, did Traeger knock it out of the park with dinner! That wood-fired turkey was SO juicy, the New York strips were outstanding, and the sides had me going back for more. And that pie? Some of the best I’ve had in years. 🥧
I’m a firm believer in building a bigger table. Pull up another chair, pass the good stuff, and make room for somebody new.
I left with a full belly and an even fuller heart. I’m so glad I got to be there. ❤️

Everyone deserves a bowl of this deliciousness! 💚🔥 This is a great way to turn everyday pulled pork into something special, satisfying and deeply delicious.
Pulled Pork Pozole Verde
Serves 6–8
Ingredients
* 2 lbs cooked pulled pork, thawed
* 1½ lbs tomatillos, husked, washed and halved
* 2 poblanos
* 2 jalapeños, stems removed
* 1 large white onion, cut into thick wedges
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 3 tbsp smoked roasted garlic paste
* ½ cup chopped cilantro
* 6 cups chicken stock, divided
* 2 (25 oz) cans white hominy, drained and rinsed
* 2 tbsp dried oregano
* 1 bay leaf
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
1. Heat the Traeger Flatrock over medium-high and generously oil the griddle with the olive oil. Sear the tomatillos cut side down until softened. Sear the onion and blister the poblanos and jalapeños, turning as needed.
2. Transfer the vegetables to a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap and steam for 10–15 minutes. Peel and seed the poblanos. Seed the jalapeños for less heat. Save the juices in the bowl.
3. Blend the vegetables and their juices with the garlic paste, cilantro, a couple of spoonfuls of hominy and 1 cup of chicken stock until mostly smooth.
4. Add the remaining 5 cups of stock, remaining hominy, bay leaf and oregano to a large pot. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the salsa verde and pulled pork.
5. Simmer gently for 25–30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Serve with shredded cabbage, radishes, diced white onion, cilantro, avocado, tostadas and a big squeeze of lime.

Everybody expects beef burnt ends… but these pork burnt ends deserve a spot on your grill! 🔥
Budget-friendly country-style ribs turn into smoky, tender bites with a sweet chipotle kick and a sticky, caramelized barbecue glaze.
Big BBQ flavor without the brisket budget—and absolutely mouthwatering. Make a batch and see how many actually make it to the table. 😉
I don’t want to tell you how many I ate. Lol
Check out my recipe below ⬇️ and thank you for all the comments, likes, and of course the shares. I Appreciate the follows.
Pork Burnt Ends
Ingredients
* 2 lbs boneless country-style pork ribs, cut into 1- to 1½-inch cubes
* Cholula Chipotle Hot Sauce, enough to lightly coat
* Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub, for seasoning
* 1 cup apple juice
* ¼ cup brown sugar
* ¼ cup honey
* 2 tbsp Cholula Chipotle Hot Sauce
* 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
* Your favorite barbecue sauce, for glazing
Directions
1. Preheat your Traeger to 180°F. Toss the pork cubes with Cholula Chipotle, then season generously with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub.
2. Arrange on a mesh baking rack, leaving space between the cubes. Smoke for 3–4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 170–180°F.
3. Transfer to a disposable half pan. Add the apple juice, brown sugar, honey, 2 tbsp Cholula Chipotle and butter. Cover tightly with foil.
4. Increase the grill to 275°F. Return the covered pan to the grill and cook until the pork reaches 205°F and is tender.
5. Carefully uncover, dip the cubes in your favorite barbecue sauce and place back on the mesh rack. Return to the grill at 275°F until glazed and caramelized.
PSA - you may want to spray those mesh baker’s racks with non-stick spray prior to making this.
Sooo are reaching for a fork or eating these straight off the rack? 🔥
How many are you putting down ?
