Spatchcocked and dry brined with lime pepper, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, Goya red top, and kicked up chicken rub. Dry brine started Thursday morning. We got it mainly under the skin and on the bottom. Was going to rinse yesterday and cooking today. Not a lot of info on if I should rinse the...

I was setting my set temp in the 200s (203) The brisket always seemed over cooked at 200 so I now pull just before 200

First cook, no foil. I’ve seen some people not use it. I wanted to see for myself.

After 10 min on Lo - smoke 20 at 400 Going another 15

I have a whole salmon filet, then a pound of bacon followed by two family packs of chicken thighs. I know the fish isn’t what you typically season a grill with but honestly it’s what we grill more than anything so… The bacon and chicken thighs will do the job. Any recommendations of temps with...

Got a call last night, delivered today at 12:00. 2.5 hours later I’m doing the burn in now (400 for one hour). I couldn’t connect to the internet cause I’m blind as a bat in the sun with these phones. I couldn’t find the instruction manual so I downloaded it from their website. And yes, it...

And to make matters worst, all the pellet grills are on sale now!!

😂 I don’t have any money left!!!

That’s a no-go… they have no record of it, LOL. Told me to call back on Wednesday. 😂

Update: it officially “arrived” at Markham2 but they backed the estimated delivery to 6/14/22 - 6/20/22. Ugh 😑 C’mon, man!!

update: it’s being delivered to the Markham2 hub. It looks like Estes doesn’t work weekends so I figure Monday or Tuesday next week. If Estes keeps a record of how many times someone tracks their shipment, they’re probably scared of me right now, LOL.

Nice, enjoy

I understand this comment now. It looks like it leaves the Markham (2) to finally be in route to my house. Trailer is Closed at Joliet. Final destination is Markaham IL. And they changed time frame back to 6/13/22 - 6/17/22. So I won’t take my seasoning chicken thighs out of the freezer just yet.

You’re just jealous of those legs and that’s Old Style beer. I used to be a runner back in the day, LOL. Update: the cooker is at the Estes hub near my house - arrived there at 6am this morning. There is a solid chance I get it today. And they changed the delivery range back to 6/10 - 6/16.

My father chewed tobacco and would save up the lids to send in for his free hat. His favorite thing to say is, “it’s nice to have a hat in the mail”. Waiting on his hat gave him something to look forward to. Kind of like me waiting on my Recteq. The build up and anticipation is exhilarating...

Oh, one more thing… I did finally tell my wife that I bought a Recteq. She was at Costco yesterday and sent me a pick of a Traeger. I messaged back, “we’ll talk later”. She‘s never upset so long as the good Q keeps coming, LOL.

They pushed it back to 6/13/22 - 6/17/22. It’s my norm to have lowered expectations because it seems this is the way everything goes. Not to sound morose but it rarely works out for the unexpected awesomeness I would like. I even bought a bunch of meat but put it all in the freezer yesterday...

Just checked, Estes picked it up and it’s in transit. Estes gives an estimated delivery as 6/10/22-6/16/22. I never expect anything to go that smooth. Especially with me, too many gremlins around. I’ll expect it by next week Friday the 16th and if it comes sooner, awesome. There’s a huge Estes...
