Why is my Costco always $24+? I’m jealous. I’d only pay $40 for prime ribeye if I couldn’t find ribeye cheaper. I generally don’t think the crazy-marbled ribeyes taste significantly better than a regular ribeye with decent marbling. Paying more than prime ribeye is often more about the...

Any recommendations on tongs?

Tried it out. Made no difference to the cook, but looked more professional as smoke didn't come out the lid. IMO this is a cosmetic mod. Do it if you like it. I don't see a difference either way and figure a gasket is just one more thing I'll eventually have to fix/clean/replace so I'm...

Wil have to try it next time! I have a bottle of juice around here somewhere!

Really excited to get this rivalry back on the menu. As such, it's a rib smoking day. I've always sworn by no sauce dry rub ribs, and I've been experimenting with coors light foil wraps and have really enjoyed it over my normal apple juice. What're you all smoking on game day? May the best...

Californian here. Tri-tip weekly for me. I really can't recommend cooking it like a brisket up to 200. I mean, experimentation is great, but it just seems like a weird thing to do other than once or twice just to try it. There are other meats that will do that just as well if not better at...

I've gone with a 3-step system. This is the "gets everything that touches meat super clean in 60 seconds" solution for me. Kona Safe Grill Brush - I like this better than my grill grates brush. I grab it, quickly run over all the grill to get the big chunks off (they fall onto the drip plate)...

I am super happy with my recteq. I hope this is for the better, not for the worse. When Apple took Microsoft's money, it used it to create a much higher quality product and become the Apple it is today and I love their products. When Allen Edmonds got bought out by PE, quality went to shit and...

Thanks Mike. I can't return the casters, so hoping those will still fit so I am 1/2 way there. Might spend some time this weekend seeing if I can convert to 5/8" bearing wheels or some other solution :)

Same as @Bmseay. OP, can you make an edit to the first post and let people know this won't work on newer 700s? Didn't realize it wouldn't work until I put my grill on its side and went "huh, that's interesting..."

Have used them for a long time without issue. I don’t really like the blends though. Just picked up some Traeger hickory bags at Home Depot. I much prefer the single flavors - hickory for steak and bacon, mesquite for pork and brisket, and apple for poultry.

Any after photos?

I’ve seen that letter. Concerning, but also from 6 years ago and well before NYT acquired them. This looks like a bad email idea from a neophyte CEO trying to do Biz Dev. It’s kinda like yelp reviews. There’s some business items there skewing things, and small companies do make mistakes but...

Someone's gotta get them to review a rec tec as their recommended upgrade pick. Lots of us former Traeger users will attest to the higher value here. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-pellet-grill/

My alarm goes off if it exceeds the +/-10* range whether higher or lower. So if I open up the grill and it drops from 225-180, alarms start going off. It also starts going off as soon as I turn on the grill, and have to turn the alarm off until it reaches set temp then turn it back on. This...
