Yea this update is a bummer. I frequently clean and prep my grill for an early AM start then remote start. I don’t want to walk outside naked in the snow and start my grill at 0300😹 I can see it from the window.

When mine clogged up I took it apart and unscrewed the auger out with a wrench. but still had the cement layer to break. It wouldn’t budge with a rod or other tools. To free the blockage I used my air compressor and put my air gun in a piece of pipe, it blew the cement layer apart and out in...

For actual smoking filets my favorite is bluefish… killer pate options. Also good at higher temp covered with spicy mustard and Mayo. Using higher temps my favorites are sword, salmon (numerous good ways) and miso black cod. Since your in New England at some point try Maine hard shell lobster...

It’s crazy Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace used to be decently priced and always on the shelf. Now they are in the glass cabinet and marked way up or just not avaible.

How hot and how long was it running? I have noticed that if I run mine very hot for awhile I get small amounts of smoke coming from the hopper. After opening the lid I typically find the lid is covered with accumulated water droplets that was steamed out of the pellets. Pellets will always hold...

So I live in in a small town with a couple of “farm stands” they type that grow some of their own herbs and some veggies but out source everything else to a regional business. My town is seaside (cape cod) and the real estate prices reflect that in the surround 30-60mins drive at the best. Well...

Yikes did they put the grill under that? Or was it on the patio? We are planning on building a big deck 25x30ish. I would not ever put a grill on the deck or under it. My wife wanted to get a polywood table with a fire pit but I talked her out of that. I might end up building a ramp and...

Im not particularly concerned once the heat deflector and paint are applied. This isn’t an occupied dwelling, nor is it even close. Plenty of ventilation and this is a pellet grill after all. Figure with the mitigation steps this is 100 times safer than anyone with a grill on a deck attached to...

Curious what you decided? I have never tried to freeze a brisket and wonder how well it would taste after reheating it.

I went to my local kitchen supply store grabbed a no-name knife… dirt cheap, plenty sharp decent quality. Funny thing is I have cut literally miles of fish with precision in back in high school. Here I waffled these slices, kinda uneven and not all uniform. I can blame the whiskey but not the...

I’m willing to bet you could remove most of the clog without taking the auger out as long as you empty the hopper and hit both ends.

I had a fun jam as well today. After I corked screwed the auger out in reverse. I couldn’t push the clog out with a stick at all. So I hooked up my air compressor to a pipe like an air spade. It blasted through the clog in a second which got me thinking… Has anyone tried to hit the clog from...

Lighting is in the plans and I like the idea of dry storage for foil and other things. I haven’t found a weather right storage solution I love that fits well. I considered running water and making a sink off the side. She understands if it was made to big it would only be a matter of time...

Also before someone says it I understand they advise 60” from the grill for wood, that’s why I’ll use flame retardant paint and a heat deflector. I think I’ll have to modify my lobster thermidor recipe for the pellet grill…

Hello all!, First post owned a 590 for about a month. I can certainly say that the this pellet smoker is something I can never go back from. Ease of use, quality of product and range of cooking is unreal. Tried some of my favorite smoker recipes and some new recteq ones for fun. Love it. My...
