    Bull Turkey Cannons

    It is too tall for turkeys. I haven't tried it on chicken yet. Thanks for all the tips and pics!

    Matador Will the Matador make a return?

    I replaced the burner on mine with a King Kooker #CF23. Now I am happy! Four feet flames if you desire.

    Bull Turkey Cannons

    I have read that the liquid in beer can chicken doesn't evaporate because it is insulated by the cold turkey (or chicken). There is some distance between the turkey and the fluid in the turkey cannon and I was wondering if the liquid actually evaporated out using one of these? And is there...

    Bull Turkey Cannons

    Hello everyone! I am loving my new RT-700 as is my family and friends. I was wondering what opinions you guys might have on the use of a turkey cannon? Is there plenty of clearance on top? Pros and Cons? Thanks in advance!

    Matador Lower heat than expected?

    Matador Lower heat than expected?

I am concerned with the safety issues in doing that though. Greg tells me that a new regulator won't increase the flame which I...

    Matador Lower heat than expected?

    I am not an expert but the pressure from a propane 20 lb tank is about 170 psi (I have read) so it needs to be reduced so a blow torch is not coming out. I found this: Does a propane fryer need a regulator? A residential application will require a low pressure regulator which reduces the gas...

    Matador Lower heat than expected?

    I am new to the forum everyone. Hello! I just tried using my new Matador and was not expecting the lower heat that it produced. I tried to use it for a high heat stir fry cooking but it was no where near where I would like it to be. I am not saying that Recteq did anything wrong. I love the...
