    Bull Run hopper empty

    Just saw the newest video on YouTube from Rec Teq. Going over some maintenance and cleaning. Said it’s a good idea to run hopper empty every 5-6 bags of pellets to avoid dust build up. I was running low in the hopper and just decided to go this. Took about 4 handfuls out and left what was in...

    Fried turkey breast question

    You know, you’re right. I wasn’t even thinking about that. Considering that’s the best part, guess I’ll just cook it at regular time.

    Fried turkey breast question

    Been doing fried turkeys for many years. Probably over the past seven or eight years we’ve just gotten a 7-8 lb turkey breast and deep-fried it. Usually takes about 45 minutes or so to cook. I’d like to have it done early this year and was wondering about something. Do you think it can be...

    Blackstone griddle, normal?

    Had my griddle for a little over 2 years. Have a top and keep it covered too. Was out cleaning it up today and noticed the storage shelf underneath looked real dirty. After wiping it down I noticed the paper towel looked orange. The rust was on the storage shelf but the shelf wasn’t rusting. I...

    Well, wings turned out awesome I must say. One hour at 225 and 20 minutes at 400. Fall off the bone tender and crispy skin. Good smoke flavor too. Using Kingford 100% hickory pellets and a smoke tube with hickory pellets. Then a mild franks buffalo sauce, an Asian zing sauce, and a sweet and...

    No, not the first time I’ve done ribs. But the first time I’ve done St. Louis ribs. I’ve probably done two dozen racks of baby back and just have never done St. Louis. After watching a lot of YouTube videos, mainly mad scientist BBQ, I decided to give the St. Louis a try. Got a pack of three...

    Kingsford Pellets at Menards

    Yes I think that’s an old bag quite possibly? It does say the word blend on the front of it but the word hickory is in bold. I think that’s where some people get confused or tricked. I saved the actual bag I purchased and these are the bags I have seen for sale on store shelves now.

    Kingsford Pellets at Menards

    Post a picture of the bag you have. I’m wondering which one you used? They do have a “Classic Blend” which are hickory, cherry and oak. This is what I have and they are AWESOME. Can find at Walmart or Publix.
