This badass Traeger Ironwood 885 grill and smoker with WiFi is over $300 off

Traeger Ironwood 885 grill and smoker with WiFi Prime Day deal
Traeger

There are grills, and then there are Traeger grills. And then there is this Ironwood 885 Traeger combo grill and smoker with WiFi built-in. Why must it have modern electronics, you ask? The Traeger app simply allows you to connect and control the grill from anywhere. That’s not going to be as useful when you’re cooking burgers or hot dogs, but for those extended meat smokes, let’s say it’s a game-changer. Traeger also says after you use this grill, you’ll “never use gas or charcoal again,” and honestly, that checks out. It uses real wood pellets to give your food a wood-fired taste. But let’s put a pin in that. What we’re really here to discuss is the Prime Day deal that shaves over $300 off the price. Usually $1,500, you can grab the Traeger Ironwood 885 electric wood pellet grill and smoker for — drumroll please — $1,187. Noice.

What’s the deal with the Traeger Ironwood 885 electric grill and smoker?

What can you expect? Optimized cooking results thanks to even temperatures, superior taste thanks to the wood pellets, and plenty of grilling space with 885 square feet — enough to cook ten chickens, seven rib racks, or nine pork butts. A built-in meat probe collects essential temperatures, which you can monitor anywhere thanks to the WiFi connectivity and Traeger mobile app. More importantly, you can also control your grill from anywhere, setting timers, adjusting temps, and monitoring your meals. You can even remotely monitor pellet levels to know exactly when you need to pick up more and refill.

The system is designed to be set-and-forget friendly. Add the wood pellets to the hopper, turn on the grill, select a desired temperature, and sit back and let the food cook, roast, sear, smoke, or whatever you want to do. The enclosed system works without problems, even in cold weather. A downdraft exhaust system keeps fresh smoke flowing over the food, giving it that authentic wood-fired flavor.

Normally, this Traeger Grill would set you back $1,500 big ones. But thanks to the current Prime Day deal, you can save over $300 and grab it for $1,187 instead. That’s a hell of a steal for one badass grill and smoker combo, and that’s before you even factor in the smart WiFi functionality. What are we having for dinner? The answer is meat. Smoked and wood-fired meat.

Boundary-pushing Scotch distillery Bruichladdich is launching a new installment in its experimental Octomore series, working with barley grown in the local region and exploring variations in cask type and peat levels.

The new Octomore 15 series includes a trio of Scotches that nod to the intense peat notes that people expect from an Islay whisky, with the Octomore 15.3 being an extremely peaty spirit, while the Octomore 15.1 and 15.2 expressions are more moderate in smokiness and made use of ex bourbon casks and Cognac casks.

Try out these fall twists on classic cocktails
Get out your tequila, bourbon, and gin to enjoy these fall drinks
fall cocktails twist classics big sur sunset by gray whale gin

One of the delights of cocktail making is learning how making a small tweak to a well-known recipe can really make a drink your own. It also helps to have a place to start -- when you're experimenting, you don't need to come up with a recipe from scratch. Rather, you can take inspiration from a drink you already love and make small changes to see how that alters the flavors.

Today we've got a trio of cocktail recipes which take classic combinations and give them a seasonally-appropriate fall twist. There's the El Pueblo, which takes a tequila old fashioned and adds a splash of spicy Ancho Reyes chili liqueur, the Campfire Old Fashioned which uses maple syrup and special bitters to give the classic drink a fall flavor, and the Big Sur Sunset which is a twist on the delicious Clover Club cocktail that adds a sweetener more typically used in tiki drinks, orgeat.
