This is the best way to smoke a brisket, worthy of any true Texan. This full packer is injected with Butcher’s Prime, sprayed down with apple juice, rubbed with a prime rib and coffee rub mix, topped with black pepper, and smoked over cherry wood to tender perfection.
Fire up your grill and make Traeger chicken wings 3 ways. Grilled chicken wings are sauced and tossed in a sweet and spicy sriracha sauce, a fiery buffalo sauce, and dry-rubbed with our signature Chicken Rub so that you get not one, but three wood-fired flavors for your next spread.
Fresh & simple ingredients together with Traeger wood-fired flavor make this smoked spatchcock turkey stand out from the crowd. Simply spatchcock your bird for quicker cooking & more flavor exposure, cover it in an herb-packed compound butter, and let your grill do the rest. Recipe provided by Ronny Joseph of The Primal Gourmet.
Don't skip out on Meat Church pulled pork. Matt Pittman’s method for smoking pork butt includes all the details that make the difference, from how to create a killer crust to the best ways to gauge tenderness. His method for adding even more flavor during shredding is easy yet genius.

From delectable starters to savory accompaniments, we recommend serving at least one of these appetizers and sides with your main.
Give burnt ends an east Asian twist by cooking tender chunks of smoked pork belly in an aromatic barbecue sauce featuring ginger, garlic, and sesame oil plus two Korean pantry staples: gochujang (fermented hot pepper paste) and gochugaru (red chili pepper flakes). Once those ingredients are procured (check an Asian market if your supermarket doesn’t carry them), the sauce takes less than 30 minutes to make. (That said, you can save some time by substituting a good quality store-bought Korean barbecue sauce instead.) Serve the caramelized and sticky bites on their own as an appetizer, in tacos, on pizza, or in lettuce leaves with warm rice and kimchi for a fun make-your-own-wrap meal.
If you have 5 minutes, you can get this festive, crowd-pleasing appetizer ready for the grill. Then forget about it for a couple hours while the wood fire does its thing, making the cheese deliciously gooey and adding a welcome smoky flavor. Feel free to experiment with whatever preserves you have on hand.
Traeger Chef Austen Granger knows a thing or two about making jerky. When he bartended, he used to make and sell a variety of flavors along with his cocktails. And he once had to make 400 pounds of jerky for a Traeger event. This easy recipe is one of his favorites and requires no special ingredients. Feel free to use another sweetner in place of the corn syrup. Agave, honey, and maple would all work.
Is it possible to make Cheez-It crackers even more savory and delicious? You bet! This easy-to-make wood-fired snack packs on the umami flavor with a little bit of Worcestershire and a sprinkling of our Blackened Saskatchewan Rub, which features garlic plus bold spices. Just try to stop eating these.

Explore the pinnacle of griddle cooking with our best recipes, from sizzling smash burgers to flavorful fried rice, unlocking a world of delicious possibilities.
Forget takeout. Delicious fried rice is easy (and fun!) to make right on your flat top. Day-old refrigerated cooked rice makes the best fried rice because the individual grains have dried out and won’t clump. However, a shortcut would be to buy microwaveable jasmine rice, skip the microwaving and add it to the cooktop straight out of the bag. In our tests, this worked amazingly well. A ham steak works great in the fried rice, but for even more flavor, look for our Char Siu recipe and use that instead.
Quick and easy garlic butter steak bites cook in just a few minutes then get bathed in a garlic butter sauce that cooks alongside. We love a thick-cut marbled ribeye, but New York strip, sirloin, or even tenderloin also works well. Serve them with toothpicks for a fun party snack. Or serve them over baked potato as a main course being sure to include any of that butter sauce.

Simple pork tenderloin gets a triple hit of whiskey flavor--in the wood, the rub, and the BBQ sauce, the latter two courtesy of our new partnership with the Vermont-based WhistlePig distillery. Tangy mustard and sweet maple round out the flavor. For best results, season the tenderloin at least a few hours before smoking.

Make your next taco night chef-worthy with Eduardo Garcia's "Cochinitas." Inspired by his sister Indra, he combined two of Mexico's most iconic pork preparations, cochinita pibil and carnitas, to make the ultimate taco filling. The pork is seared, roasted, then fried up in its own braising liquid for an incredible flavor-packed crispy finish.
Crispy, cheesy, and full of tender, fragrant beef—it’s hard to beat the pleasures of a birria taquito. And while birria tacos became all the rage on social media, we find that rolling everything up in a tight little package makes them perfect finger food and easier to dip in the aromatic braising liquid. This is a phenomenal way to feature leftover brisket cooked on your Traeger.
