My Favorite Traeger Day

Traeger Recipe
One could argue that any day I cook on my Traeger Junior aka Tjr is my favorite Traeger day.  With my schedule its not often I get to cook twice on Tjr in the same day.  Yesterday was such a day.

My morning errands included stops at Paul's Market, where I purchased bacon wrapped Fillets and Apple Brats.  I then stopped at the supermarket and purchased sweet potatoes and Brioche hot dog buns.

I fired up TJr and made the apple Brats and sweet potatoes for lunch.  Then a few hours later I fired up the T again and cooked the Filllets and Lobster for diner. 

The diner was special because my mom was in town and my wife picked up our 6 year old grandson from school.  My grandson only ate the fillets but every one else had filet and Lobster.  It was the first time I cooked for mom, she finally was able to visit.

please note:

Any recipe I make is just a guideline.  I am not a big fan of gooey sauces so almost everything is I cook would be a dry rub.  You of course should experiment and see what works best for you.  I don't often recommend a rub because it is a matter of personnel taste.  These recipe would also work well on most other pellet grills or charcoal and gas grill using indirect heat for the low temperature recipes.
