I used treager for my first two Cooks on the SF. My first was a pork shoulder. I didn’t wrap it at all. The initial taste was ok. A bit of a let down, just having done one on my kettle. The surprise was the next day leftovers were almost inedible. Meat was hard, and the taste was gross. The next cook ended having the same weird funky, taste. I changed to pit boss and didn’t have that same weird taste. Weber pellets don’t have that taste either. I do have to say the treager pellets where hickory flavor, and I haven’t used that flavor with the other brands, so maybe it was the hickory. I’m just not willing to test it to find out.
The weird taste was like a funky non wood almost sour, bitter flavor. Hard to describe. Did not like it. Almost just sold my SF because of it. Glad I didn’t.
