Funny this was brought up. Yesterday I went to my local ACE which I rarely go to and in between the Tragers I see this one smoker I thought I recognized and walked over to it and it was a large RT (might have been a Beast) at $1250.
There is a product sold on Etsy that makes the controls mounted at an angle that makes viewing alot better. Does anyone see a negative about installing this? I would probably want to put a gasket or a thin beat of silicone around it to make sure it's water tight.
Here is mine. Minor changes, but it makes it mine. The shelf is made from a piece of sugar maple that has the holes in it from seasons of sugaring in late winter and a wrap for the front cover. The holes were filled with resin and the whole thing was sealed with spar urethane.
A good digital thermometer is a must (I use a ThermoWorks lollipop)
Good set of gloves
2nd level rack
sharp knives
cutting board
folding shelf
cold beer
I'm 8 cooks in with my RT-590 and am wondering why I didn't do this years ago. I have made this shelf for my RT-590. It's from a sugar maple with tap holes I filled with resin and left the live edge.
