I cooked thick pork chops on low setting, at about 125 degrees I pulled off. I covered them and kicked up grill to 500. at about 425 I put on sear plate and finished. I was wondering if you can leave them on the grill until you reach searing temp then throw on searing plates?. Also I want to do...

I've had my RT 700 for about a week. I had a few minor problems. I've had nothing but excellent support from Recteq. I've called them maybe six times and they bent over backwards to satisfy me. Some of the best support I've ever had from a company so far. They have always been friendly and said...

I'm thinking maybe the cub will

My first cook on my 700. going to try cooking at 275 then after a hour or so kick up to 425. Wondering if when I cook if you wait for temp before putting on chicken. was wondering if putting on food as 700 gets to cooking temp will provide more smoke rather than waiting to get to 275
