I have been having a blast cooking on weekends on my 590. I love the low and slow cooking of it. Well, I did burgers two days in a row and the second day I had a flare up. I am going back to low and slow this weekend but I am a little gun shy now to cook burgers again. I think, and I could...
I am putting away the ol' Rec Teq for the winter. It's in my garage and it has a cover on it. My question is I didn't remove pellets. Will that cause a problem text spring/ summer?
My first smoke I did 225 for 4 hours, spritzing every 30 mins, then finish a bit at 275. Now I want to follow a different path where it says to go 275 for 2-2.5 hours then wrap and back on for 90. The question is 275 the whole time too high? Should I stick to my 225? What say you pit masters?
Made my first cook yesterday and we went with a No wrap rib recipe. It was not mine but one I found from someone I follow on Instagram. I was supposed to used Meat Church Voodoo and Honey Hog but I just used Honey Hog due to who I was cooking for. So I hit it up with that, let it set like 15...
I just filled the 590 for the initial burn and 1 bag of 20 pounds almost filled the hopper. So I stopped. Can you fill a hopper mid cook if you do so before it is empty? I’m new at this. I wouldn’t see why not because long cooks you may need a lot of pellets.
Today is the day the grill was to come. I was excited but I have not been feeling good. Well I was taken to the er today with Covid caused pneumonia and blood clots in my lungs. I have not idea when I get out. My son had to get friends to help carry the grill from to driveway to the garage. I...
So I have been putting off buying the 590 until I get back from vacation. Now I'm back and I am having trouble pulling the trigger. I worry it will come with issues and since I have no skill set to fix it, I will be out of luck. Is this a dumb reason to not order? I understand their customer...
Due to work being done around the house, I can't order my new grill yet. So I'm stuck grilling burgers this weekend on a old, semi-working, propane grill, like a chump. I should have something on the smoker. Stupid life getting in the way of my fun.
That is the extent of my post :D
So in my research I found thought I figured out that Rec Teq had a better controller because it is a PID controller. That it vary +/- 5 degrees because of this. I was reading last night that new Traegers (Pro 575) not only have a PID controller but their new DS controller has a DC motor to...
Hello! I'm considering getting into the world of pellet smokers.
BACKGROUND
I first started to like them by following Traeger. So a Pro 575 was what I wanted. After a lot of research I found somethings I didn't like about the Traeger smoker. For example, they can peel and chip and the...
