I made a batch of Arbol Chili hot sauce a few months ago that I have been loving for all kinds of applications—including wings. Think Tapatio, but better. Arbol has such a great flavor—a little less hot tha Tobasco chilies, but you make up for it in complexity.

I think I ended up making up my recipe, but this one is close:

Dude… I did this twice and it overloaded my Traeger!!! Had to vacuum the pellets and dust out

Do not recommend. lol.
LOL, yes I've had a few issues with the cold start methods but its because I don't have the ash cleaned out..
Clean your pellet grill more often equals less problems..
Side note, if you don't have an accurate meat thermometer buy an inkbird.. Especially if you like to drink beer and wander around...
Start grill, add food, wander, end up in shop "for a few minutes" 3 hrs later food is beyond done and I have the awwwww **** moment.... **** I better check the food.

Easy there, as a former has been. I make a mean pork butt, tri-tip and numerous other things most wrestlers should refrain in eating.

I call BS....
When I cut weight all i did day and night was dream of food...
Now all I dream of is food and beer...
I should probably clarify… lol. Wrestling FANS/retired? sure.

But I’m a guy going to the experts/people I trust. Other than the meat church guy - I don’t trust ANYONE that nots fat for my BBQ advice.

Been off the site for a bit. Busy with life but with college season getting heated up again it is time to get the smoke back on. Here are a few of the summer smoke pictures. A steer I sent to a neighbor girl to show and the ribeyes from the finished project.

Fun project cooking a couple wagyu prime ribs for a group. One was 17 lbs and the other was 21 lbs. A little different shape that a normal prime. They also cooked a little faster than what a more round prime would cook. But the end result was good. I am not sure I would pay the preimum price for the wagyu but it was very good. unnamed4.jpg
