    Stampede 590, Wait or Other

    So I have never owned another smoker. This is the most expensive and best built grill I have ever purchased. I have looked at the Traeger and a few other store brands. None compare in build quality. I favor stainless over powder coated. My uncle just picked up a Louisiana Grill at Costco...

    Stampede New rt-590 in the rain?

    My grill has gotten wet numerous time without an issue cooking or not. I did add the vent covers to mine as it is the older model. The vent covers prevent a couple of issues. 1 is rain getting in the grill, the other is bird excrement. I saw a picture of a pork butt getting hit by a bird a...

    Stampede 590, Wait or Other

    I have had my 590 for about a year and a half. It has worked really well for the vast majority of the time. I have had to make a few calls over that period.1 for the app and the grill losing connection. 2, my probes stopped working. 3. Getting the grill to join my wifi and stay connected...

    Bull Newby confused about the need for a sear kit

    If all you’re looking for is grill marks, your stainless steel grills can do it. The grill grates are better flat side up at searing and developing crust. I haven’t tried searing in cast iron yet, but I assume similar to flat side of the grill grates. You probably need to put cast iron in the...

    Stampede Temperature probes

    Thanks. Yeah, it was really just to kind of verify where they were. It was just strange that they were all over the place.

    Stampede Temperature probes

    It was definitely both probes. I had pulled them out of the ribs and reset them after saucing the ribs. Everything was fine for the first 20 minutes, then they went haywire. I found one was sticking out of the meat, so I moved it. That one never went above 157. The other was the one that...

    Stampede Temperature probes

    So I’m in the tail end of an 8 hour rib cook. 30 minutes to go!! All of a sudden my temp probes are jumping all over the place. 199-157. I was at 199, then down to 180, then back up to 193, then to 157 and now it has settled in at 173. I tried udjusting location, but no difference. I’m just...
