I’ve smoked a couple hundred pounds of snack sticks this year on my traeger. I run them with the grate. It’s kind of a pain but I make them in 30” pieces and fold them in half. They lay perfectly in the grate and I can smoke 20-25lbs at a time depending on if I use the top rack.
I said “this year” I mean this deer season. So since October 1. I have looked at several other smoker options but damn this works pretty slick. Almost no waste when cutting them to vac seal and super straight sticks, every time.
