The diff in time depends on the meat, ambient temp, how well the smoker holds to the set temp. <br /><br />The best of smoking!Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995909829674040054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739585080600135030.post-11545316413789071142016-09-04T17:37:23.818-04:002016-09-04T17:37:23.818-04:00With my Traeger set at 225 how long will my 10 lb ...With my Traeger set at 225 how long will my 10 lb bone in shoulder take??

As set by the Traeger factory, the smoke setting will cook at around 180. For meats that need to be cooked for long periods of time you could end up with too much smoke flavor and the cooking time would be very long.<br /><br />You will absolutely get smoke flavor at cooking temps up to 225, which is the standard for smoking meats. Ribs take 4-5 hrs and pork shoulder 12-16 hrs. I will sometimes use the "smoke" setting for the first 30-45 minutes on chicken or turkey and then increase the temp to 225. <br /><br />Try experimenting with ribs at 'smoke' setting for the first hour or so, and then increase temp to 225 for the remainder. And then do another cook totally at 225. You'll decide for yourself. <br /><br />The standard for smoking ribs, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, etc is 225, and it has worked for all of us for a long time. So that will be your benchmark. But the fun thing about smoking is that you can experiment!Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995909829674040054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739585080600135030.post-34875902984650934082013-06-18T18:10:14.815-04:002013-06-18T18:10:14.815-04:00I just bought a Traeger and need some clarificatio...I just bought a Traeger and need some clarification. In the recipe above you did not use the smoke setting of the pellet grill? Will there still be smoke flavor if "grilled" at 225? I thought the only way to get the smoke flavor is if the setting is set to "smoke".<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
