1 Easy Traeger Smoked Salmon with Dill and Lemon Compound Butter

2 Traeger Smoked Longhorn Cowboy Tri Tip
This great recipe from Traeger themselves uses Traeger Beef Rub and coffee grounds to create a delicious bark and seal moisture inside the ever popular tri tip steak cut.
This recipe will serve around 6 very fortunate people, and could become your favourite go-to pellet grill steak recipe.
All in all, it will take around 4 hours on your Traeger smoker to bring this tasty steak to your preferred level of doneness.
3 Smoked Cream Cheese
This is an interesting one you may not have thought of before.
It involves treating a cream cheese block like a piece of meat – you cover it in BBQ rub and smoke it in your Traeger grill.
This forms a crust on the outside of the block while sealing in moisture on the inside keeping the cheese from melting. This is great for a smoking side dish or appetiser, and it goes really well with smoked salmon or spread on breads or crackers.
4 Korean BBQ Chicken Wings
The great combination of sweet, spicy and salty is really well balanced in this Korean BBQ Traeger recipe.
In fact there are so many different flavours going on in this dish that your tastebuds might have trouble keeping up!
This is a fast but flavoursome smoke over cherry wood and a great way to enjoy a classic smoker recipe for chicken wings.
5 Traeger Whole Chicken Recipe
It’s always a winner to make a smoked chicken dinner, but this recipe will take things to the next level.
Hit your whole chicken up with a delicious rub and smoke it for about 2 hours and you are good to go.
6 Traeger Smoked Cocktail – Strawberry Mule
If you’ve never thought about making smoked cocktails using your Traeger grill then this idea might interest and intrigue you.
The strawberries used in this Strawberry Mule Cocktail are smoked in your Traeger smoker over pecan wood first.
Then all you’ll need is lemon juice, vodka, ginger beer and crushed ice.
For an extra dimension of smoke you can also use Traeger’s very own smoked simple syrup, but you’ll still get a really smoky taste from the smoked fruit if you don’t.
