February’s cold weather is perfect for low and slow smoking. There’s something satisfying about tending the smoker on a chilly day while incredible aromas fill the air. I find myself reaching for these recipes more in winter—maybe it’s the comfort of hearty smoked meat, or maybe it’s just a good excuse to spend time outside with the grill.
This month we’re featuring classic smoker staples like pulled pork and brisket—recipes that every Traeger owner should master. They’re forgiving enough for beginners but with plenty of room to refine your technique. Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just stocking up the freezer, February is the perfect time to fire up your Traeger.
