“Grilling means good times, good friends, and hopefully, great food.”

Filling a tank with pellets, setting the temperature to 275º and walking away from your "grill" for eight hours is not smoking a brisket. Can I get a Hell Yea? Grilling and smoking meat requires creating a fire with wood and charcoal, tending your pit, delicately balancing the heat, carefully tenderizing your meal, and preferably drinking lots of cold beer along the way. Only after you have slaved over your fire like a caveman do you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor, which are never guaranteed no matter how well you balance the tending and drinking. Snag this Tshirt for your favorite grillin' guy so they can let the world know that pellets ain't grilling.

Is it a coincidence that "Traeger" and "Cheater" have the same number of letters? I think not!

It feels like we are on the grill when you walk outside in the afternoons…stay cool and good luck navigating the heat wave this week. Cheers!
