    Beef Brisket 101-A Tutorial

    Frankly, I’ve smoked Wagyu, Prime, Choice, and Select briskets and they are all about the same to me. I don’t know if that says something about the grade of briskets or more about my opinion on brisket in general. A nice Choice at a good price will give you just as good a result as a Prime, and...

    Cleaning Grill Grates

    According to GrillGrates, washing them (the aluminum ones) in a dishwasher will ruin them. Apparently it will strip off the anodizing.

    Grill grate vs cast iron skillet?

    Both can make a great, seared steak. The GrillGrates get hotter/faster than cast iron, and if you already use cast iron it is cheaper and gives a nice crust on the entire surface.

    First Time RecTeq Owner (My Experience - RT1250)

    All theses pellet grills (from multiple brands) appear to overshoot the target temps on startup, then over compensate by reducing the flow of pellets so that temps can drop below the set point. Eventually it evens out. Here is the startup sequence from another brand of pellet grill that...

    Newbee Question

    I wouldn’t worry too much about the barrel yet, but get yourself a putty knife so that you can keep the deflector somewhat clean. I use two putty knives-a plastic one on the barrel occasionally so I don’t scratch the paint and a metal one more often to keep the drip pan clean.

    First Time RecTeq Owner (My Experience - RT1250)

    The OP has already called recteq CS. I don’t understand the position that someone should browse FB for advice or call recteq again before trying to cook a burger on their grill? I am inherently curious, so before I would call recteq the first time or get on FB I would want to first cook some meat!

    Caved and getting an apron

    Why? I thought it was a requirement for inclusion in the men of recteq calendar to NOT wear anything under it!

    Caved and getting an apron

    Not sure what the barber look is, and I use a very different apron in my wood shop from what I use in the kitchen/on the grill. Having said that I find the H&B aprons to be outstanding in the kitchen. I don’t like an apron that hangs around my neck, so I buy the harness version. Calavera The...

    First Time RecTeq Owner (My Experience - RT1250)

    Temperature swings on all new recteqs are not uncommon. There are many, many posts here over the years suggesting that the controllers ‘learn’ or ‘settle in’ during the initial burn-in/cooks. My recommendation remains the same. Before changing pellets or anything else cook something, anything...

    Or you could just cook a smash burger, or a steak, or whatever and see how it turns out. My experience with sear kits, and I’ve been using GrillGrates brand since it first came out over 10 years ago, is that they retain heat very well. You are not going to ruin a burger or a steak from a temp...

    First Time RecTeq Owner (My Experience - RT1250)

    As a suggestion, put a strip of black tape over the temp display on the controller, put down your phone, and let your grill burn in for a couple of hours. Then cook something, anything. You have people advising you here that don’t even own a recteq. Cook something, perhaps a couple of cooks, and...

    Bullseye Firmware Update

    Love everything about it. The only thing I’d change (other than make it out of stainless) is the cover is a little short, allowing rain to blow in on the lower shelf.

    New owner soon

    I’m a recteq owner for 4+ years now and none of mine came with a complete manual. I go online and download the PDF.

    Nope. Common sense is gone also.

    My 340 does, and it’s still installed because it’s a handy place to rest a third party thermometer base unit when cooking in the rain. My bullseye had one, which I removed and like the 1250, my 700 did not come with a safety grid.
