Congratulations and welcome to the 590 family

You can’t go wrong thighs off the grill either 😉

I totally agree about the possibility of cracking on cast iron. But, I also have an 22 yr old smoker with a cast iron wood chip box that uses an LP burner underneath it that is still perfect, but not used now. Of course, most items are not built like the old days anymore… cheap and volume is the...

I wonder when they will sell the cast iron deflector as a part for the RT590 to replace the steel one. That should help with heat I would believe.

Totally agree with you!! Super tender and eat with a fork only.

Sorry, just got back from a NAPA trip and private wine tastings. 🍷 Normally I can find 4 to 4.5 lbs and take me about 7.5 to sometimes 8 hrs of cooking and we leave in cooler for another 1.5 to 2 hrs. We are “almost” empty nesters but it feeds 3 of us with leftovers. I vacuum pack individual...

My go to meat is Wagyu Picanha that I turn into to a “smoked brisket” in my 590. Its super tender as others have stated, juicy and great flavor. I smoke mine fat cap up till it reaches 160F, then wrap it in foil till 203-205F, then the ice chest for 2hrs resting. It comes out perfect 100%...

Purple Power degreaser from your local auto parts store works awesome with some paper towels. I’ve been using it and rinse with water afterwards with NO issues. Good luck!

Well, not normal to me. Opinions may vary….

It’s just surface rust for now and I know I can clean it before it gets worse, just was surprised after taking the cover off on what I found. I’ll clean it after cooking today and everything is cool. Just expected more for the price!

The feed rate is only for minimum feed rate at the lowest temperature setting on the grill (180F) or super smoke to prevent flameout. You shouldn’t have to constantly adjust it and rate setting can vary depending on several factors at 180F such as outside air temp, pellets and even wind. I have...

The accessory one from RT rusts as it’s a low quality SS. I had mine covered and mostly under the back patio, but with all of the recent rains, water has found a way in and cause some rusting. Here’s a pic from this morning. I tried to point out the more obvious rust spots. When I took my cover...

I stick with 225 mainly because I see more smoke coming out of the vents vs 250, and we prefer smokier flavor. Hell, I also add a smoke tube for more smoke, lol. I stick with 1.5 hrs per pound and after 160, I wrap in foil until 200-205, works perfectly for me. As others have stated, try it and...

My horns are off slightly and I’m fine with that... being from Texas, I believe it mimics the real steer in the real world!

Thanks for sharing! With the comp cart, the factory cover is about 6” off the ground which allows for any moisture underneath to dry out (well, the best it can living in Houston are, lol), so don’t mind the back side sticking up some. I installed the factory “muffler tips” with red high temp...
