I certainly wouldn't want to sway you one way or the other,especially on a large quantity but the grass fed beef I have had was amazing it had this really clean almost sweetness that came across the palet when cooked

@Motodad1776 yeah that's absolutely the scary part dude not the worst of it by far. More and more regulations on farmers every day and their inflation costs to raise products on top of it. No end in sight. It REALLY sucks.

Just returned from the store with my wife, looked for something to put on the rectec. Instead I left with nothing and instead a feeling that it may be time to sell my grille. Not even joking. 8 dollar a pound chuck roasts. 35 dollar eye of round 5-6 dollars a pound. Briskets here are 5 dollars a...

Yeah the ol BFG eats the pellets at higher temperatures for sure!

Yeah I was wondering if there might be something out here in cast iron. But guessing the aluminum gets hotter possibly

I've been holding off on sear grates for my BFG. I wax wondering what everyone thought are the ones from rectec worth it? They are on sale right now. Are there better ones out there? Like many of you, I usually use my weber kettle for steaks but would like the ease and convenience of the pellet...

@SmokeZilla I appreciate your response and like your suggestion. And yes I feel most people would eventually be amenable to these changes. I like to have faith in the human spirit to for the most part to be reasonable and try and do good for the good of all, obviously not always the case, nor...

Well as I sit here on a cold gloomy Ohio day, feeling the full affects of cabin fever do I dare mention that removing my grille remote start feature is just the government taking my guns away!.......wait for it!....wait for it!. Aaaah I'm just funning about of course...no way I want that...

Didn't want to join this conversation but this gentleman and a few others have correctly identified the issue. I work in the construction industry as an electrician and this issue being discussed here is no different than any other that may exist in the world. The world has become a CYA (cover...

I watched multiple videos on trimming brisket and I think it was an Aaron Franklin video where he recommended trimming that fat out. And for me it works great it allows the brisket to lay more flat and my results have been that the two temperatures flat and point track more evenly through the...

The BFG turned out yet another amazing product beautiful prime rib. Perfect and delicious. Love these machines

To crashwood and rhouser congrats to you both on the new round firepots, as I'm sure both of you have figured out by now, this new pot us a performance based upgrade as owners with the old rectangle fire pot got far less smoke at lower settings. IMO and based on various old videos(rectangle)vs...

Yeah like ask forgiveness better than permission. After many discussions with the wife I just seized an opportunity when she went on a vacation....i ordered my BFG she returned home shortly before it got delivered. I was at work and told here she would be getting a delivery...slightly bigger...

Just like brisket the way I do them. They are generally smaller cook quicker. But same temp philosophy. Wrap em at 165 170. Problem has become they are not much cheaper than brisket, at least in Ohio. So I'll just go brisket

Lots of great info already, I'll just add my 2 cents. You mentioned the controller change I'd investigate the auger settings minimum feed rate and think there's a setting you can change from the app. I started playing with minimum feed rate(accessible on the controller) on my bfg, it was at like...
