    Kirkland Signature Pellets

    I just dumped the first bag of these into my 1250 a couple nights ago and they will likely start flowing into the auger on my next cook. My first impression dumping them in was that there were a LOT of really long pellets and of all the brands I've tried so far, I've never seen any that long. As...

    Ribeye Cap Steak Rolls...oh how I miss you already.

    I’m hopeful that they’ll be available in NC in Sep. if so, I’m visiting a friend there and will stock up, have him vacuum seal / freeze them so I can bring them in my luggage…

    Ribeye Cap Steak Rolls...oh how I miss you already.

    It's not nice to brag...have any trips planned to Austin, TX? :ROFLMAO: It was technically the Eagan store. We stayed in Eagan a couple of nights and that one was close to our hotel.

    Ribeye Cap Steak Rolls...oh how I miss you already.

    Last week, my family and I were road tripping from Texas to Minnesota and many of our stops were at Costco for cheaper fuel and to check out what they had that our local stores in the Austin, TX area didn't have. Part of this was so I could pick up a bottle of Kirkland Bourbon since the Texas...

    Boneless skinless chicken breast

    My wife wanted something healthier to take for lunches, so I cut up some chicken breasts into large nuggets, brined them for an hour in a 50/50 salt water mix. After brining, I dried them off slightly and seasoned them with salt and pepper. I then grilled them on my GrillGrate sear kit until...

    1250 lid seal

    I also put the LavaLock on my 1250 the day I got it and like others have said, it stuck very well...too well actually. When I was off on the alignment, I had to cut off a section I messed up because it stuck to the grill and then ripped apart when I tried to remove it just seconds after I...

    Beef Homemade Corned Beef / Pastrami

    I just did the same exact recipe, but did it for a full packer brisket that I bought last year. I trimmed and separated the flat / point for easier brining and brined in 2 large 2 gallon ziplock bags since my wife wouldn't let me take the shelves out of our garage fridge for a week. Mine turned...

    RT-1250 Foil / No Foil on 1250 Drip Tray Debate Thread

    I ended up buying a set of scrapers and will try the scrape method for a while. If that doesn't work out for me, I'll be stuck spending an afternoon getting it all shiny again and will go back to foil. I will say the first scrape went well except for the wretched sound it makes. 😖

    Ham and pineapple, so I guess it's close to spam. 🤷‍♂️

    Stampede First Pizza Cook

    1/4 of my family would agree with you which is why 1/4 of that pie is different! :ROFLMAO: For me, I have to be in the mood for the Hawaiian pizza which doesn't happen that often.

    One Year Later, Still No Solutions from RT on "Smart" Features (read: Notifications) We All Bought.

    I did enough research before buying my 1250 to know about this issue, but I bought anyway. I agree with the statements though...the notifications / app portion of the grill could REALLY use some work. I came to the RT from using a Kamado Joe with a FlameBoss temperature controller and my...

    Stampede First Pizza Cook

    I just did pizzas last night on my 1250 and used a 'Pizza Hut Pan Pizza' clone recipe (https://topsecretrecipes.com/pizza-hut-pan-pizza-copycat-recipe.html?category_id=615). It turned out really good and was easier than my last attempt dealing with a pizza peel, super soft dough, and etc. The...
