Updated on August 1, 2023 | Published on May 24, 2020

Looking for Traeger Recipes to try out? If you just got a smoker (we have a Traeger), here are some of the best Traeger recipes out there (though you can definitely use them on any brand!)

Smoking on a Traeger

Earlier this summer, we got a Traeger Timberline 850.

Although there has been a bit of a learning curve, we have come to really appreciate the taste of food that has been slow smoked for hours.

It’s amazing what you can make with a smoker, too! Of course, there are meats like pork and brisket – but that’s only tipping the scale of what you can do with it.

We had smoked nachos for my birthday for the first time at home and I could have died and gone to heaven.

They were so delicious. I bet there are no people who do not like smoky flavors even once. That is why grills are so cohesive at our parties. Especially, the Traeger grills. What can’t you smoke on it? From Traeger smoked turkey, beef, and chicken breasts to chicken wings. All tastes fabulous when smoked on the grill. Additionally, these potential easy recipes do not take a long time to be prepared. The best thing is it does not require a good cook. Some home cooks in a house party can easily take charge to make delicious food at home. And so we share with you some fabulous recipes to start with.

Because I’m sure a lot of people are going to be getting Traegers for Christmas, I thought I would share some different Traeger recipes that you can use.

Can you use these on a different smoker? Of course! However, because I have a Traeger, and I know I have found myself searching, “Traeger Recipes” on Google, I thought it was worth doing a post specifically on that 🙂

Be sure to join our NEW Smoking group on Facebook! All smokers welcome 🙂

I thought I’d share some of our favorite tools for cooking on our Traeger – many of which are helpful for the recipes we share below.

• Traeger Timberline 850
• Good quality pellets – if you have a Traeger, I would strongly suggest just using their hardwood pellets. They have a great variety!
• Grill spatula – this is the one we have and love.
• Pink butcher paper – essential for wrapping meat. We hae also used parchment paper.
• Pizza Stone
• Grill pan
• Internal Meat thermometer – wireless is ideal
• Bear claws
• BBQ Tongs
• Traeger Rubs
• Traeger Sauces
