My wife saw somewhere that someone made a smoker out of an old file cabinet. 

I might try that sometime

I got the TRAEGER CENTURY 22 WOOD PELLET GRILL M#TFB57CLB

got it at costco, it came with a warming box on it but I NEVER use it so kind of a waste, and I wouldn't bother with that.  A searbox sounds like a useful thing, the smokers themselves don't really get all that hot though (up to like 425F max on mine) so would be good to have that, not sure if traeger makes one with that.

Figuring out what’s actually in a box of chicken stock shouldn’t be that hard. Right? by Noah Galuten  Jan 25, 2023,

"We can reach onto a shelf and open a box of water flavored by an amalgam of chickens who died any number of years ago, and be comforted by nostalgia for what we think is our grandmother but in all likelihood is just hollow corporate brand loyalty (“I like how much carrot powder they add to the broth concentrate!”). We walk around tasting and smelling things, wholly unaware that we are, in fact, interacting with the biggest company we have never heard of, ..."

My lazy ass finally picked up a pellet cooker. But this one is a little different. Has a smoke box that you can add chunks of wood or charcoal to during the cook to get more smoke. And the cooking chamber is stainless. They didn’t have the searbox that mounts on the right side in stock so I had to order one. Hopefully it’ll be here for the weekend as I plan to fully put it through its paces. I think I can get 6-8 butts on this thing, at least two full packer briskets, and tons of anything else. It’s not a big cooker but makes very good use of its space unlike most barrel style pellet grills. Put some wings and brats and sweet corn on it tonight with a B&B competition blend (pecan, cherry, post oak) and then added apple chunks to the smoke box. It was actually oversmoked, which kind of made me happy because I was really worried about not getting enough smoke flavor from it. I think I’m going to do a 6 butt cook overnight tomorrow with apple chunks, make pulled pork and package it for the freezer, then do beef ribs Saturday, and then “over the top chili” Sunday.

I made some smoked  salmon a few days ago (on my Traeger) and needed to use it, so I made fettuccine alfredo from scratch sauce and broke up the salmon and dumped the sauce on top, holy shit one of the best things I have eaten in a while.

How do you smoke your salmon on the Traeger and what’s the recipe for the sauce?

Used this recipe (I didn't brush with syrup or anything though) and kept temp on thr e base smoke setting for around 3h till I got internal temp of 135ish https://honest-food.net/how-to-smoke-salmon-recipe/

And the sauce is so easy to make... I use this recipe (instead of Italian seasoning I just add a bit of parsley, oregano and basil)

Good luck it's amazing

Made a bacon wrapped filet on the pellet grill tonight. Not bad.
