Manual says don’t do nuthin...just put the heat to it for the first ‘burn in’...of course I’m gonna slick everything with a coat of peanut oil or veg oil. We’ll see tomorrow. Gotta a crazy ass smoking schedule tomorrow, prepping now. The new Weber will not see any action tomorrow...both children here tomorrow, about 15 folks as well...time for the Traeger Pro 34 to shine once again! 11 lb Boston Butt and four whole chickens gonna hit his ass at sunlighttomodtiwniening. We gonna party here...throw darts, sling some shoes, play badminton!
