Any drawbacks to the Traeger Lil’ Tex?
Hi:
I noticed in reading your ?Competitive Secrets? book that you are now cooking on a Lil Texas from Traeger. Do you enjoy the Traeger when you replaced your Lang smoker? Do you know of any drawbacks? Most of my cooking is family and I was considering the Lil Texas, but do you use it in competition. Is the Lil Texas able to perform what you need it for in competition (ribs, brisket and pulled pork)? How is the size (I?m trying to decide if the Texas would be better than the Lil Texas)? Thanks for any help you may give me.
Happy Smoking!!

Yes… it performs well for home cooking as well as competitions. We do need 3 of the Lil’ Tex’s for competitions though. So size is a consideration – it should be plenty big enough for backyard use though.
Thanks,

Hi:
I just purchased your E-book, Competitive Barbecue Secrets on ebay and had been greatly impressed by how easily your recommendations translate into real life slow cooking/smoking.
I have been slow cooking and smoking for approximately 30 years, and your book has brought hard facts to light, that are seldomly shared. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I also noticed that you were from Chatham County, Georgia. It is good to see that people are continuing the great barbecue traditions I grew up experiencing. I was raised in Savannah for most of my early life and have carried many of the traditional barbecue techniques, I experienced as a youth, to New Jersey where I now live. I always receive compliments about ?good ?ole southern? food when I cook for friends and neighbors.
Good luck in the future, and congratulations on a well thought out/planned manual for smoking.
Happy Smoking!!
