I will keep this story short, as it actually is one that covers about 30 years.......Before retiring to Arkansas we lived in the National Capital Region, in Northern Virginia. While in Virginia, I was a season ticket holder of Richmond International Raceway, yes, I am a life long NASCAR nut...
This is a grill event that I mostly captured from a comment in one of the Recteq F'Book groups. It sounded good, so I copy, pasted, and sent it to the "Main Chef", she said, yep lets do it, and walla, here we are. It's good she has a clue what she's doing because after reading the post, my...
....One could understandably scoff at my contention that a whole scale Cable/Internet/Phone service outage would impact a a simple pizza cook on the Bullseye.......I would.....but hear me out.......one of the down sides of living where we do is, when you lose some infrastructures (electricity...
Hope everyone is having a safe, healthy and Merry Christmas so far. No White Christmas this year for us in the Ouachita Forrest, however we are getting seasonal temps this year (last year we were in short sleeves). Today we are taking on a "Surf & Turf theme", since it's only Deb and myself...
First & foremost: Merry Christmas to everyone, we hope your families & loved ones are safe, healthy, and having a great Christmas so far!
This evening was our first attempt at Shrimp and Grits, but just using the Trailblazer to smoke the shrimp (everything else was done inside on the stove)...
I've seen some discussions ref. problems with the wifi apps, but what we're noticing today, is the WiFi application seems to be working fine, however the online notification of temp status seems to be anywhere from 15-20 min delayed. Wonder if it's a "Christmas Eve" traffic load problem...
This grill is VERY similar to the Spatch-Cocked chicken we did back in early November, but wanted to try it on the Bullseye vice the Trailblazer. The Bullseye performed with no problems, also configured with a water filled drip pan sitting on the heat diffuser - no problems at all.

Ever have a cut of beef that you simply aren't very good at? Seems like these Ribeyes (at least the last two cooks of them) have my number. Nothing special about this evening's cook - no reverse sear, just cooking a couple of Ribeyes on the Bullseye w/Grill Grates. About the only thing I DID do...
Tonight’s grill is VERY similar to the NY Strips we did a few weeks ago, but with some cheaper cuts of steak from our local grocer (Brookshires) - I know you thought I was going to say Walmart, but we actually do have a choice with grocers near us, not a LOT of choices, but we do have some...
Note: This is the primary reason we grabbed a Bullseye - quick easy grill prep, and throw on some burgers, etc. Note, we are trying out a new cast iron 22” grill grate recommended by a good friend in the D.C. area, this will be in lieu of the OEM stainless steel grill that comes with the...
BLUF: The Bullseye performed VERY well as a pizza oven (at least in our first experience).
Today’s event was based on a couple of Youtube videos I’ve seen for Pizza on the Bullseye, combined with our need to use up some of the leftovers from our Thanksgiving feast - PLUS an ongoing desire to...
Note: Moving this Grilling Note to "The Lounge" as it covers both the Trailblazer and Bullseye for the same event.
Not sure why we put so much effort into a Thanksgiving meal that at most will serve 6 people... We’re taking meals to as many neighbors who will take them, and we’ll probably...
Note: This is essentially the SAME cook we did on Monday, (3 weeks ago) the 2nd of this month (Nov), BUT instead of doing the cook on the Trailblazer, this one is executed on the new Bullseye RT-B380) - Outside temps are a little cooler (about 10 deg)

We are now 2 x recteq grill owners. Some of you are going to laugh, others will simply say “what an idiot” - both reactions are certainly warranted, but hear my logic. 1) Trailblazer sets in front of the house (under a grill gazebo), but it is covered from the rain during a grill session - it...

Grill Location: Hot Springs Village, AR.; 34 37 60.0N 92 54 55.4W - a nice mid-week Fall afternoon in “The Village"
Weather at time of Grill: Not as nice as the start of the week, sort of a hazy sunshine (high wispy clouds) a little breeze but not overwhelming - another great day for grilling...
Grill Location: Hot Springs Village, AR.; 34 37 60.0N 92 54 55.4W - another beautiful late Monday Fall afternoon in the Ouachita Mountains...
Weather at time of Grill: Very sunny skies, very little breeze, and the bass are chasing bait fish up into our cove - I can catch’em off the dock...
Grill Location: Hot Springs Village, AR.; 34 37 60.0N 92 54 55.4W - late Monday afternoon, very sunny skies, a great mid Fall breezy Monday - first grill in almost a month, recovering from some pretty major surgery, finally getting back to near normal…..

Today’s grill pretty much validated our process for grilling petite filets (which we do a lot for steaks….). It was the 2nd set of smaller filets we’ve done since owning the RT-340. Prep, heat, and cook times are pretty consistent. Only delta here was the use of wood skewers to help manage the...
