I’ve never understood the need for a smoke tube. My 340 creates an insane amount of smoke. I usually use Bear Mountain pellets or Lumber Jack. Tried Knottywood, but had really bad results. Bear Mountain is my go-to pellet brand and if I smoke something at 200 or 225, I get the most perfect smoke...
I bought my 340 back in May of last year and it’s legitimately been the best purchase I’ve ever made! I use it probably twice a week. Mainly for meal prep (big batches of chicken breast or chicken thighs) and also for some longer cooks on the weekends such as pork butts, ribs, Tri tip, and...
100% cook it like a steak. I usually smoke it at 225 for a little over and hour (until it reaches about 115-120) and then sear it on my Weber propane grill. Comes out absolutely perfect!
I love my 340! I got mine back in May and have been using it at least once a week. You’re gonna love it, man. One thing I will say, I bought the small interior shelf to add more space, but I rarely use it because it makes it too tight of a fit in there. I don’t really cook for a ton of people...
So, I just received the vents and I took a few photos of how they look with them on my RT-340 and also what it looks like with the cover on. The cover still fits really well and they look awesome!
Made some amazing wings yesterday on my RT-340! This is my second time making them and I am addicted! Seasoned them with SPG (Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder) and some chipotle pepper powder, then tossed in Frank's Wing sauce. Came out incredible!
Glad that worked, Carlos! I am also in Tucson, AZ! Happy to see another RecTec owner in the Old Pueblo. Gonna be smoking some wings on my RT-340 this weekend. Cheers, good sir!
What pellets are you using? I've used different types of Lumberjack pellets and holy moly my little RT-340 smokes a ton! I made a tri-tip yesterday and even though it only cooked for about 1hr 20min, it had a strong smoke flavor and even had a beautiful smoke ring on it! I haven't even thought...
I should be receiving mine in about a week or so. I will update you when I put them on. That was a question I forgot to ask too. Absolutely love my rt-340 cover!
That’s great news! Thank you for your reply! I’m gonna end up ordering some here in a bit in addition to the small shelf that is now in stock! Thanks again!
Thank you for your reply! That makes sense. Honestly, it's not too big of a deal on the grill right now, but if it gets too loose, I will definitely do what you said. Thanks again!
I've had my 340 for a few months now and I believe mine are a tiny bit "loose" too. I have no idea how to tighten them since mine came already on the lid. It doesn't really affect anything, but I definitely would like them tighter.
