TRAEGER IRONWOOD 885 GRILL/SMOKER
Here’s a solution to an eternal weekend dilemma that has plagued me for many moons now: How to deep-smoke a hunk of pork or beef whilst wielding an 8-iron instead of a branding iron. Bless the boys at Traeger for their new WiFire-powered pellet grill, which allows one to set up the backyard BBQ and then immediately leave for eighteen holes of golf. Gone are the days of adding soaked hickory chips to the fire every fifteen minutes over eight-plus hours. Pour in half-a-bag of Traeger’s flavored wood pellets, set the starting temperature and then control the cooking process while waiting for the foursome in front to putt out. Cooler, hotter, more smoke, less smoke—you can perform such wizardry wirelessly and guiltlessly, then return as the conquering hero to provide the family with some deliciously lethal brisket or pulled pork. Go from pit-master to putt-master without fuss or muss. Available at Ace Hardware stores across the nation.
