Screw up

Well if there's a way to screw something up I'll probably find it.😬 I made the handle before my first cook and after reading how hot the top could get. I didn't have welding gloves so i didn't want to have to get my hands near the hot top. On my first cook the pizza my wife made was a little...

The instructions with the GMG pizza attachment say that because of the high heat welding gloves are needed to remove the top...silicone or regular gloves aren't suitable. I made a handle by drilling a 11/32 hole in some scrap wood. It just slides over the metal handle on the top when I need to...

I tried it for the first time last night with mixed results....it didn't look too good but it tasted great. I initially set the temp to 350 but turned it up to 400 because the stone wasn't heating up quickly. Outside emperature was about 60. When the stone hit 625 on the IR thermometer I put the...

Found this on YouTube, GMG pizza attachment on RT700:

Good information...I called local dealers and they didn't know about this promotion. One looked at the website and said they would honor the price and work it out with GMG later. So I am now the proud owner a pizza oven for my 700. One question for those who use it: do you close the cover of...

I sent an email on a weekend a couple of weeks ago because the temperature control knob was not working correctly. First thing Monday morning I received an email that was just a copy of an invoice sending me a new controller at no cost. At the end of the day I received a reply to my email...

My probes became erratic about a month ago, with wild swings from below freezing (not in FL!) to much higher than actual temperature. I called Rec Teq and was told to make sure the nut on the input fitting was tight and to use a hair dryer to dry out the humidity in those fittings. It...

Yesterday I read the White House gleefully announced the Farm Bureau said the cost of a July 4th bbq went down 16 cents. In early Feb I paid 3.28/lb for prime brisket: https://www.recteqforum.com/threads/please-dont-read-unless-youre-seated.3216/post-34087 It's now 4.98/lb, a 52% increase in...

I don't have to move mine up or down any ramps so I can't speak from experience. It seems rather than pulling it down it might work better to push it down so you have control of the uphill end. You might try clamping a piece of wood between the lock tabs or even drilling a hole in each tab and...

More from Thermoworks: Q: Why are you closing out the Mk4? Isn’t it the world’s best? A: The Mk4 is in fact widely rated #1 and is the world’s best and fastest cooking thermometer. But something big is coming! ————— Q: Are there any problems in the Mk4? A: No. The Mk4 is the world’s...

I received an email today from Thermoworks saying they are closing out the MK4 for $69 and some big news is coming. Sounds like it may be replaced with a new model?

I was away for a wedding while this thread was blowing up...just got back and confirmed that my controller will go below 30 so I ordered the motor. To get the free shipping I ordered the large shelf. https://www.recteqforum.com/members/chadinsc.6723/ you should get a commission on all the items...

I use PBW (powdered brewery wash). It's a powder mixed with water. The pan allows the grates to lay flat so I don't have to mix too much. Soaked the grates for a few hours and then just rinse and wipe dry. They look like new.

Thermoworks blog has a recipe and video links using baking powder and Thai sauce. Haven't tried it yet but will the next time I do wings. https://blog.thermoworks.com/chicken/smoked-chicken-wings/?tw=TWYTB
