Check out how I put together a whole meal on the smoker at 250 degrees F, using the Traeger Pellet Grill Ironwood 885 (partner).

Smoked tri tip
Smoked tri tip, with its rich marbling, becomes incredibly tender and flavorful when smoked at 250°F. It’s perfect for slicing and serving in sandwiches or on a salad with jalapeno ranch dressing.
Smoked Oreos
Unbelievably delicious, I hope you try making Traeger smoked Oreo’s for yourself!
Smoked whole chicken
Smoking chicken at 250°F ensures that the meat stays juicy and tender. I’ll often increase the temperature near the end of the cook, to get perfectly crispy skin. Use your favorite spice rub like this Meat Church Texas Sugar BBQ to add an extra layer of flavor. Try this smoked whole chicken with Italian marinade…
Smoked chicken lollipops
Serve this for a main dish for your next BBQ party. See how to make these fun smoked chicken lollipops…
Smoked Texas Torpedos
Bacon-wrapped smoked Texas torpedoes are fun to eat and they smoke in just 45 minutes.
Smoked Brussels Sprouts
Make an irresistible smoker side dish with these crispy smoked Brussels sprouts. They turn out smoky, crispy, and delicious, finished with bacon, balsamic glaze, and parmesan cheese.
Smoked jalapeno poppers
Smoked jalapeno poppers are an easy appetizer to smoke on the grill while you’re waiting for your main dish to cook.
Smoked chicken kebabs
Everyone loves these smoked chicken breast skewers because they are so easy and fun to eat at a cookout!
Smoked brisket flat
Smoked brisket flat, cooked low and slow at 250°F, transforms into a melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s perfect for sandwiches or served with classic barbecue sides like smoked baked potatoes.
Smoked peaches
Fruit is one of the best things to smoke for dessert. See how to make smoked cinnamon peaches with pecans…
Smoked zucchini and squash
When I visited Traeger HQ in Utah for Traeger Day, I could not stop eating the smoked squash salad. Immediately when I returned to Dallas, I made my own version. It is one of the best side dishes for a BBQ menu because you can make it in advance and serve it chilled… plus, it’s delicious. You have to try this smoked zucchini summer squash salad….
Smoked mac and cheese
Smoked mac and cheese is always popular at our backyard BBQ parties. Make it with this 3 cheese combo and crunchy panko topping for ultimate results.
